PTB210 Digital Barometer
www.vaisala.com
The PTB210 paired with the SPH10
Static Pressure Head.
The Vaisala BAROCAP® Digital Barometer PTB210 is a reliable outdoor barometer
that withstands harsh conditions.
For harsh environments
The Vaisala BAROCAP® Digital
Barometer PTB210 is ideal for
outdoor installations and harsh
environments. The barometers
are designed to operate in a
wide temperature range, and the
electronics housing provides IP65
(NEMA 4) standardized protection
against sprayed water.

(certificate included)
The PTB210 barometers are ideal
for use in applications such as
weather stations, data buoys and
ships, airports, and agrology. They
are also an excellent solution for
monitoring barometric pressure in
industrial equipment such as laser
interferometers and engine test
benches.
Several pressure ranges
The PTB210 barometers are designed
for various pressure ranges. They are
available in two basic congurations:
serial output for 500 ... 1100 hPa and
50 ... 1100 hPa and analog output
with different scalings between
500 ... 1100 hPa.
Accurate and stable
measurement
All the PTB210 barometers are
digitally adjusted and calibrated by
using electronic working standards.
A higher accuracy barometer, that is
ne-tuned and calibrated against a
High Precision Pressure Calibrator,
is available for the 500 ... 1100 hPa
pressure range.
In addition, the PTB210 integrates
directly with Vaisala Static Pressure
Head Series SPH10/20. This pairing
offers accurate measurement in all
wind conditions.
Vaisala BAROCAP®
technology
The PTB210 barometers use the
Vaisala BAROCAP
capacitive absolute pressure sensor
developed by Vaisala for barometric
pressure applications. The Vaisala
BAROCAP
excellent hysteresis and repeatability
characteristics and outstanding
temperature and long-term stability.
All PTB210 barometers are delivered
with a factory calibration certicate
which is NIST traceable.
