Model 231RS
Multi-Congurable, Wet-to-Wet
Differential Pressure Transducer
Setra’s Model 231RS is the industry’s rst multi-congurable,
wet-to-wet dierential pressure transducer utilizing remote
sensors. This design reduces labor and material costs versus
traditional copper piping installations. The 231RS has a robust,
NEMA 4 enclosure with an LCD display and a hinged, captive
cover allowing for easy access to switches in order to adjust
range and output. An optional display is available that allows
users to view high, low, and dierential pressure readings on a
simple rotating cycle.
Advantages of Remote Sensors
Remote sensors provide multiple advantages. By connecting
the high and low side transducers at the point of measurement
instead of running copper piping back to the transducer, the
labor and material costs are cut by one-third.
All Inclusive Field Selectable Design
The 231RS has a multi-congurable design, providing the user
with eld selectable ranges and outputs as well as push button
or remote zero. This design gives the user total exibility to
make changes on the job site.
Multiple Connector Options for Added Flexibility
The 231RS oers remote sensors that connect to the unit via
armored jacket, cable or conduit tting available in 10, 20, 30,
40 and 50 foot lengths. With the remote sensors, there is no
need for a 3 or 5 valve manifold and no risk to compromising
the electronics.
Display Options Available
The 231RS has an optional LCD display which gives the user
the ability to view the high, low and dierential pressure outputs locally at the device. The visual indicator gives instant
feedback providing performance validation to the user.
