High-performance precision pressure transducer

ETLG Inertial Aerosystems is announcing a new ‘next generation’ precision pressure transducer. The PPT2 is designed for high-performance applications including Secondary Air Data, UAV dynamics, Flight test, Flow and Pressure Calibrators, Meteorology, Engine Testing, Instrumentation and R & D.

Manufactured by US-based Honeywell, the unit combines proven silicon sensing technology with advanced microprocessor-based signal conditioning. The unit provides high resolution analogue (0–5V) and digital(RS232/485) outputs at high accuracy (+/-0.0375 per cent FS typical) across a wide operating temperature (-50 to +100degC standard) and with excellent long-term repeatability and stability. User-programmable measurement parameters optimise flexibility and applications. Some advanced features include response delay of 2ms, Baud Rate to 115,200, up to 1000 readings/s and optional extended temperature range -60 to 125degC. The unit has many programmable features such as user-configurable pressure units, sampling, update rate.

The PPT2 is fully ROHS, CE & EMC compliant, and has superior RF susceptibility to DO-160F. Internal diagnostics flags errors. The unit is housed in a rugged 62.9×24.5×39.5mm case (excluding connectors), weighs 4.4 ounces and can be supplied with a variety of pressure input connectors.
