Model PT-1 Pressure Tester
PPLICATION
A
• For calibration, test and measurement
applications requiring very high accuracy secondary transfer standards
FEATURES
• Simultaneously display the output of
wo pressure sensors, two RTD’s or
t
one of each
• 12 standard user selectable engineer-
ing units and one custom value.
• Dedicated front panel buttons to set
zero, check max/min values, adjust
measurement damping, select either or
both ports for standard display, additive or differential display, print the display and configure the RS232 output.
All front panel features are accessible
via the RS232 port for remote configuration or data acquisition
The PT indicator is an extremely versatile pressure measurement and test
instrument. Each PT indicator provides
the ability to select any of twelve factory
programmed engineering units, monitor
and display minimum and maximum pressure values, program damping, tare out
displayed measurement values and communicate over the standard RS232 interface. In addition to a broad variety of
pressure ranges and types, the PT indicator can be supplied with temperature
input modules.
These modules provide compatibility
with platinum RTD Pt100 or Pt1000
probes. The modules accommodate 2, 3
and 4 wire configurations. All these capabilities are accessible through easy-to-follow keypad functions as well as over the
RS232 interface.
Optional features such as the addition of
a second sensor assembly, a backlit display or a built-in rechargeable battery
pack make the PT indicator the ideal
measurement tool for most major pressure measurement applications.
