The PX291 Series of differential
pressure transmitters is designed to
measure low pressures while using
little power. A selection of ranges is
available to meet most industrial
and laboratory applications.
The transmitters are housed in a
flame-retardant, glass-reinforced
polyphenylene oxide case. Electrical
connections are made by means of
3
a
⁄8" terminal with #6 screws. There
are no moving parts and the
transducers are virtually position
insensitive. The span and zero
settings are made via 20-turn
potentiometers, for easy and
precise adjustments. The pressure
sensing element is a differential
capacitive cell for the low pressure
ranges from 0.1 to 5 inH2O and a
PX291-001WDI, $227,
shown actual size.
piezoresistive chip for ranges above
5 inH2O. Both sensors ensure
reliability and long-term stability.

OFFSET OPTIONS
If the measured differential pressure
is expected to go from positive to
negative, a transducer with offset
(elevated zero) should be ordered.
The standard models in the order
chart have no offset (i.e., at zero
differential pressure, the output is
0 Vdc or 4 mA).
2 offset options are available:
“A” 1⁄4 Span Offset
At zero differential pressure,
the output is 1.25 Vdc or 8 mA
allowable pressure excursion:
-33% to 100% of range
“B” 1⁄2 Span Offset
At zero differential pressure,
the output is 2.5 Vdc or 12 mA
allowable pressure excursion:
-100% to 100% of range
Examples: PX291-001WD5V-A
will have a range of 1" water at
5 Vdc and –0.33" water at 0 Vdc
PX291-001WDI-B will have a
range of +1" water at 20 mA
and -1" water at 4 mA
