Please Note: Series 522 / 526 are designed and manufactured in accordance with sound engineering

practice as defined by the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC. This product must not be used as a
“safety accessory” as defined by the Pressure Equipment Directive, Article 1, Paragraph 2.1.3. The CE
Mark on the unit does not relate to the Pressure Equipment Directive.

INTRODUCTION

The Series 522 / 526 pressure transducers use molecularly bonded high output strain gauges to provide
100mV output for full range pressure, when used with a 10V d.c. power supply.

Series 522 / 526 high output pressure transducers and transmitters are fitted with an ASIC providing
various optional (at time of order) voltage outputs, and a 4- 20mA current output capable of being used
in control and indicating loops without further amplification.

Series 522 / 526 with the CE Mark conform with the essential protection requirements of the EMC
Directive 89/33/EEC amended by certified type testing to EN 50082-2 and EN 50081-1.
