PS4506

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The PS4506 is a hydrostatic submersible pressure transmitter manufactured by ifm efector, inc. It features an analogue output signal ranging from 4 mA to 20 mA and operates with a nominal pressure of 3 bar. The device supports a maximum pressure of 58.02 psi (400 kPa) and includes an internally vented cable for pressure compensation. It utilizes a two-wire current loop configuration to reduce wiring complexity. The typical operating temperature range extends down to -10°C.
