On VDC output units, two additional field selectable options are available: dual outputs 0-5 or 0-10 VDC, and dual unregulated supply voltages 12-35 VAC or 12-40 VDC. By merely moving a shorting plug, one can select the desired output for the specific application. As far as supply voltage is concerned, the unit automatically configures for AC or DC and no field selection is necessary. Another feature is that the output is fully protected from short circuit to ground, or if the supply voltage is applied by mistake to the output. Past experience demonstrates that field related wiring problems do occur. Instead of denying this fact, the protection circuit is designed in to ensure trouble-free start-up. The VDC output unit is also designed to handle low impedance circuits. In fact, the unit can drive up to 1k ohms minimum. In this way, multiple controllers, indicators, or other devices can be paralleled to the output without performance degradation.

The mA output units can function over a wide unregulated supply voltage range: 12-40 VDC without any effect on calibration or performance. The unit has reverse polarity protection built in. As a result, it is next to impossible to damage the unit by mis-wiring. By using sophisticated low drop-out voltage regulators and CMOS integrated circuits, the mA output unit can drive very high output impedance. In fact, with only 12 VDC supply, the unit can drive 200 ohms. At 40 VDC, the unit is capable of handling up to 1600 ohms load. In this way, the output loop can be tied in series to multiple controllers, indicators, and other devices without degrading the performance.

Automated NIST traceable pressure controllers and precision Barocel® pressure sensors are utilized to calibrate and certify the PR-274/275 transducers. Calibration data on each unit is archived digitally for SPC and QC purposes. All automated calibration systems are networked and data is available on-line to numerous individuals at the same time. In this way, extremely high standards of quality and calibration integrity are maintained. Each unit is individually temperature compensated in an environmental chamber. The temperature compensation data is also digitized and archived for future reference purposes. Compensating each unit individually ensures that published specifications are adhered to.
