Digital Industrial Gauge

THE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL
SOLUTION SAVES MONEY,
TIME AND SPACE…

n Battery powered local indication standard
n Optional 4-20mA output with turndown adjust-

able within range of gauge*

n Optional line powered (12-36 Vdc)
n Optional (1) or (2) SPDT switches with dead-

band adjustable to pressure range of gauge

*Accuracy based on full scale range of gauge

The benefit, one digital
pressure gauge replaces
three instruments…
mechanical pressure gauge,
transducer and switch

n Saves installation costs
n Saves on instrument costs
n Save on additional pipe cut-out(s)
n Save space

INDUSTRY LEADING FEATURES

Rugged design

n Three case styles: all welded stainless steel,

fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic or cast alu­minum case

- Weatherproof, NEMA4, IP 65 case

- SS and aluminum case offered with FM
certification, Class 1, Div. 1

n Polyester window protects display from

damage

n Strain relief to protect wiring while replacing

batteries

Industry leading display

digital gauge accuracy…
Terminal Point versus Best Fit
Straight Line Accuracy.

Ashcroft Type 2070 Digital Gauge with
Terminal Point Accuracy

BENEFIT

100%

Terminal Point: end points (zero
and full scale) are connected
by a straight line

P R E S S U R E

0%

R A N G E

Competitive Digital Gauges with Best Fit
Straight Line (BFSL) Accuracy

BFSL minimizes linearity error
by “best” fitting a straight line
to a non-linear curve

P R E S S U R E

0%

PROBLEM

• Re-zeroing gauge may invalidate published accuracy
specification

• Zero offset at start-up may be the result of either:

- BFSL Calibration

- Zero Drift

.88˝ high digital
display (41⁄2˝ case)

R A N G E

• All points between
zero and full-scale
will be within stated
accuracy

• Allows zeroing of
gauge at start-up to
eliminate any sensor
offset

100%

• Linearity error mini­mized by “best” fitting
a straight line to a
non-linear curve

• BFSL gauges may
have a zero offset
at calibration that
must be maintained

100%

to ensure accuracy
throughout range
