• Autozero function on board / external option
• Standard diaphragm is 15-5 PH stainless steel with GTP+
coating
• 17-7 PH corrugated diaphragm with GTP+ coating for
ranges below 100 bar-1500 psi
GTP+ (advanced protection)
Coating with high resistance against corrosion, abrasion
and high temperature
AUTOZERO FUNCTION
All signal variations in absence of pressure can be eliminated by using the Autozero function.
This function is activated by closing a magnetic contact located on the transmitter housing.
The procedure is permitted only with pressure at zero.
This function can be activited via HART as well.
4...20mA Output
The HME series of Gefran are pressure transmitters with
HART communication protocol for using in high temperature environment.
The main characteristic of this series is the capability to
read temperature of the media up to 400°C.
The constructive principle is based on the hydraulic trasmission of the pressure.
The fluid-filled system assures the temperature stability.
The physical measure is transformed in a electrical measure by means of strain-gauge technology.
