PTM pressure-sensor module

For system integration

The pressure-transmitter module (PTM) takes into account the general trend towards miniaturisation and cost effectiveness. Thanks to their optimised size, PTM-series sensors can be used easily and flexibly in applications where installation space is critical.

In addition, the modular design – which features numerous possibilities for electrical and mechanical interfaces – also permits simple integration into existing customer systems.

The use of a high-precision evaluation circuit directly on the ceramic pressure cell makes it possible to output a temperature-compensated analogue or digital signal. Stable and accurate measurements are achieved over a wide temperature range, even under harsh conditions.
