The PX138 Series pressure
transducer uses state-of-the-art
micro-machined silicon sensors
with stress-free packaging
techniques to provide highly
accurate, temperature-compensated
pressure measurements for the
most demanding applications.
When operating from an 8 Vdc
regulated power source, the PX138
transducer provides a 1 to 6 Vdc
output. Other regulated voltages
from 7 to 16V can be used but the
output will change in proportion to
the excitation.
