DPS5000
Digital Pressure Sensing Platform
The new DPS5000 from GE, part of the UNIK5000
family, oers integrated digital electronics to
enhance the performance level of the UNIK 5000
Pressure Sensing Platform to levels unmatched
by traditional analogue sensors. It features an I2C
digital interface, over which fully compensated
readings of Pressure and Temperature are sent, as
well as control of many functions of the device.
High Quality
With 40 years of pressure measurement
experience, our eld-proven Druck technology is at
the heart of the new platform, resulting in a range
of high quality, high stability pressure sensors.
Bespoke as Standard
Custom-built from standard components,
manufacturing sensors to your requirements is fast
and simple; each UNIK 5000 is a “bespoke” pressure
sensing solution, but with the short lead times
and competitive pricing you would expect from
standard products.
Expertise
We have the people and the knowledge to
support your needs for accurate and reliable
product performance; our team of experts can
help you make the right sensor selection, guiding
you and providing the help and tools you need.
It is important that you ensure that the sensor
materials and performance selected are suitable
for your application.
