DVS205 Dual-Variable Sensor
The DVS205 Dual-Variable Sensor (DVS205)
provides static pressure and differential pressure
inputs to a FloBoss™ 103, FloBoss 107E, or FloBoss
500-Series Flow Manager. The DVS205
communicates via a serial format with the FloBoss.
Variables
Functionally, the DVS205 is a digital transmitter that
measures two flow-related variables simultaneously:
differential pressure and static pressure. These
variables are continuously available to the FloBoss
unit that polls the DVS205.
Transducer and Electronics
The DVS205 contains a transducer and an
electronics circuit. The transducer uses capacitancecell technology to sense differential pressure and
piezoresistive technology to sense the static
(absolute or gauge) pressure.
The transducer electronics convert the pressure
variables directly into a digital format, allowing
accurate correction and compensation. A
microprocessor linearizes and corrects the raw
pressure signals (from the sensor) using
characterization data stored in non-volatile memory.
The electronics also allow the DVS205 to
communicate with a FloBoss using a Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI).
Accuracy
Two versions of the DVS205 are available:
205P with reference accuracy of 0.075% of the
full span.
205E with reference accuracy of 0.10% of the
full span.
Mounting
The DVS205 is factory installed on a FloBoss™ 103,
FloBoss 107E, or FloBoss 500-Series Flow Manager
to comply with agency requirements. Attached to the
bottom of the sensor body is a Coplanar™ flange.
This flange allows the DVS205 to mount on an
integral orifice assembly or manifold valve.
