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
