Multi-Sense® Model 231RS
Wet-to-Wet, Differential, Multi-Configurable Pressure Transducer
231RS Cable Version
FEATURES
■ Wet-to-Wet Transducer w/ Remote Sensors
■ Conduit and Cable Versions
■ Field Selectable Output - True 4 to 20 mA,
0 to 5, 1 to 5, and 0 to 10 VDC
231RS Conduit Version
Industry First Wet-to-Wet
Remote Sensor Design
DESCRIPTION
etra’s 231RS with remote sensors reduces labor, materials,
and time. The sensors are installed directly into the pipe
S
and electrical connection is made between the remote
sensors and the Model 231RS via cables or conduit, reducing
labor cost by one-third and the cost of copper to connect the
pressure transducer to the pipe. Startup time is reduced since
purging air out of the lines is not necessary.
The Multi-Sense® Model 231 Wet-to-Wet differential pressure transducer’s all inclusive design provides users with field
accessible ranging, choice of output and field zeroing.
NOTE: Setra quality standards are based on ANSI-Z540-1.
The calibration of this product is NIST traceable.
■ Each Unit Provides 4 Unidirectional and 4
Bidirectional Switch Selectable Pressure
Ranges
■ Field Accessible Push-Button Zero and
Remote Zero
■ Jumper Selectable Port Swap
■ Optional LCD
■ All Cast Aluminum, NEMA4 Rated Housing
■ CE and RoHS Compliant
APPLICATIONS
■ Energy Management Systems
■ Process Control Systems
■ Flow Measurement of Various Gases or
Liquids
■ Liquid Level Measurement of Pressurized
Vessels

PRESSURE RANGE CODE SELECTOR (IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE ORDERING)
Examine the pressure application and determine what is the Highest System Line Pressure.
Determine what is the Differential Pressure being measured.
Find the MAX. Line Pressure in the table on the right that is > to your Highest System Line Pressure.
Verify that your DP falls within the selectable ranges in that row.
Follow that row to the left and select that range code.
Example: Highest System Line Pressure: 125 psig
