The PRECISE
DPS2000 Series
Digital Pressure Transmitter
The PRECISE DPS2000 Series digital pressure
transmitter is an ultra high accuracy digital
pressure and temperature sensor designed for high
pressure measurement in critical applications in
harsh environments where accuracy and stability
of the data are key to system performance.

Advanced Sensing
Unique Pressure
Technology
At the core of the PRECISE sensor is PRESENS’ patented
tubular sensing element, well
proven in subsea oil and gas
applications for many years.
Our piezoresistivesensors are
distinguished for their reliability,
robustness, long-term stability
and high fi eld accuracy. This is
due to the unique features of
the sensing element:
Silicon (Si) single crystal
structure:
• Minimizes errors due to thermal and mechanical
hysteresis
• Prevents long-term drift due to ”creep”
Tubular design:
• Mechanical decoupling of sensing area eliminates
error due to mounting stress
Operation in compressive stress:
• Extreme tolerance to over-pressure and pressure
spikes
Module Design
• A thick isolation diaphragm improves protection
against harsh environments
• A reduced oil volume decreases thermal errors
• A reduced oil volume improves protection against
damage caused by transient step changes in pressure

Piezoresistive resistor bridge:
• Extremely stable
