UNIK 5800/5900
Flameproof/Explosion-Proof
Pressure Sensing Platform
The 5800 and 5900 are compact and rugged versions
of the high performance UNIK 5000 pressure sensing
platform oering both ameproof/ explosion-proof
or dust ignition protection by enclosure capability as
required. Intrinsic safety options are also available.
They provide a lightweight and cost eective
alternative to pressure gauges and switches in
process and in oil and gas industry applications.
High Quality
Features
• Ranges from 2 to 700 bar (30 to 10000 psi)
With 35 years of pressure measurement experience,
our eld-proven Druck silicon 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 requirement 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.

^ with a 10 volt supply mV output sensors give 100 mV over the full
scale pressure. Output is ratiometric to the supply voltage.
*0 to 5 V 3-wire output is non true zero. At pressures below 1% of
span the output will be xed at approximately 50 mV
**32 V maximum for non-hazardous area operation
~Supply voltage is between [Maximum Output + 1V] (7 V minimum) to
16 V (32 V in non-hazardous area operation)

Basic Congurable (Option 5)
Any pressure signal output congurations will be
available, subject to the following limitations:
Output Specication Basic Congurable
(Option 5)
Minimum span: 4 V
Maximum span: 10 V
Maximum output limit: 11 V
Maximum zero oset: Span / 2
Output voltage range can be specied to a resolution of 0.1 V
Not true zero, the output will saturate at < 50 mV
The output will continue to respond to 110% FS. i.e. if a 0 to
10 V output is specied, the output will continue to increase
proportionally to applied pressure until at least 11 V.
Examples
Allowed Not Allowed
0 to 5 V 1 to 4 V (span too small)
0.5 to 4.5 V 4 to 11 V (oset too big)
1 to 6 V ------
1 to 11 V ------
Supply Sensitivity
±0.005% FS/Volt (voltage and current version only)
Power-Up Time
• mV, voltage and current versions: 10 ms
Insulation Resistance/Isolation
• 500 Vdc: ≥ 100 MW
• 500 Vac: ≤ 5 mA leakage current
(mV and mA versions only).
Shunt Calibration (5800 only)
Shunt calibration provides a customer accessible
connection which, when applied, causes a shift in
output of 80% FS in order to simulate applied pressure.
It is tted to the mV version as standard. Shunt
calibration is activated by connecting Shunt Cal to -ve
Supply.
