ifm electronic offers a new pressure sensor with analogue and switching output for efficient compressed air control or filter monitoring. Relative or differential pressure: the improved PQ series pressure sensors measure both. Ideal for condition-based maintenance, for example when a filter is exchanged or leakage is detected by pressure loss. The coated silicon measuring cell guarantees high overload resistance and an accuracy of ± 0.5 %. The special coating protects the measuring cell from air humidity and condensate. The two-colour LED display enables immediate status detection. The parameter setting can be carried out via two pushbuttons or IO-Link interface. The compact sensors offer an analogue output and a switching output, both of which are configurable. The sensor is available in two versions: with a measuring range of -1…1 or -1…10 bar.
