  • media isolated
  • wide variety of configurations available
  • IP65 minimum rated
  • approvals and certifications: CSA Class I, Division 1 Groups C,D T4; Class I, Zone 0 AEx ia IIB T4 Ga (Ex ia IIB T4 Ga); ABS; CE

Description

The CS81 Intrinsically Safe Low Pressure Transducer is a high strength sensor for low pressure measurements in intrinsically safe areas. The CS81 features an all welded stainless steel construction for a minimum IP65 rating. A wide range of configurable options makes the CS81, from Core Sensors, a versatile pressure transducer that can operate in some of the harshest conditions.

Low power outputs are available which can operate off of 3-5 VDC of unregulated power to extend battery life in remote applications. The CS81 is an excellent solution for applications such as external fuel tank monitoring, vapor recovery, and natural gas compression. Caution must be taken when installing and operating hazardous area instrumentation in known Class I, Division 1 locations. Please review the Intrinsically Safe Operating Instructions prior to installation.

  • plug and play installation
  • CSA Class I, Division 1, Groups C, D T4 approval
  • pressures from 1 to 49 PSI, see model CS80 for pressures 50 PSI and above
  • media isolated
  • assembly in New Jersey, USA
