Differential transmitter performs under pressure

obold differential pressure transmitter models PAD and PAS are microprocessor- Kobold PAD & PAS key features:
based, high-performance transmitters which have flexible pressure calibration Performance
Kand output, with automatic compensation of ambient temperature, and • High reference accuracy: ±0,075 % of calibrated
process-variable configurations of multiple parameters and HART protocol span (optional: ±0,04 % of calibrated span)
communication. • Long-term stability (0,125 % URL for 3 years)
Applications are varied and include critical media like steam, gases and liquids. • High rangeability (100:1) for range 4-0
Pressure, flow and level measurement are done by the application. The input of all Flexibility
data for sensors is added, modified and stored in EEPROM. • Data configuration with HART configurator
As an option, the Kobold PAD-F is also available as a flow-meter with a totalising • Zero-point adjustment

Kobold’s PAD & PAS transmitters have excellent
reference accuracy, thanks to high-performance
processors for flexible application in absolute and
differential pressure measurements. In addition,
these models achieve excellent long-term
stability with capacitive or piezo-resistive sensors.
