Pressure Transmitters
D A T A S H E E T
The PT5 series of Pressure Transmitters convert a pressure
into a linear electrical 4 .. 20mA output signal suitable for
controlling simple compressor and fan switching to the more
sophisticated application of superheat modulation of EX
series Electrical Control Valves.
With competitive performance to price characteristics and an
easy to install pre-fabricated M12 cable assembly, the PT5
transmitters are the designers choice for all refrigeration and
air conditioning applications.

Introduction
The Emerson pressure transmitters PT5 are designed for
pressure sensing and to generate a linear electrical output
signal. The products are specifically aimed at applications in
the HVACR industry: primarily for refrigeration but also for air
conditioning systems.
The PT5 series is protected against short circuit, reverse
polarity and over voltage to 36volts.
The standard 4 - 20 mA current output enables easy interfacing
with most common signal processing equipment.
Various pressure ranges are available to match the operating
pressures commonly encountered in HVACR systems. The
PT5 meet the requirements of the European EMC directive and
are labelled with the CE-mark according to 2004/108/EEC, EN
61326

Description
At the heart of the transmitter is a thin film pressure sensitive
stainless steel diaphragm on which the strain gauges are
directly bonded. The direct integration of the strain gauges
means no additional errors are introduced between the location
where the pressure acts and where it is measured creating a
inherently strong design with minimal hysteresis.
The integrated electronic module conditions the output of the
pressure cell to produce a temperature compensated signal of
4…20 mA.
The fully welded monolithic construction creates a fully
hermetic product which ensures reliable operation and a long
life-time expectation even under severe operating conditions.
With the high operating and burst pressures, the PT5 can be
applied to all requirements of today’s HVAC systems but is
particularly suitable for refrigeration applications.
The protective stainless steel diaphragm ensures compatibility
with the media frequently encountered in refrigeration systems
whilst the Stainless steel housing provides excellent corrosion
resistance. The electrical circuit is sealed to the housing which
together with the pre-fabricated cable assemblies provide an
IP65 solution for the harshest environment.
PT5 transmitters produce a relative output signal after being
calibrated at atmospheric pressure and then sealed during
production. When using PT5 in heights significantly above sea
level the output signal deviation must be taken into account. i.e.
at a height of 1000m the signal reads approximately 0.1 bar
lower than the actual pressure.
Pressure transmitters PT5 with current output (two wire
connection) offer the following advantages:
• More suitable for signal transmission over long distance
• Higher immunity to electro-magnetic interference
• Open circuit detection enables fail-safe operation
