PSAN-1CPA-NPT1/8

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The Autonics PSAN-1CPA-NPT1/8 is a compact digital display pressure sensor designed for measuring the pressure of air and non-corrosive gases. It features an NPT1/8 bottom port interface and operates on a 12-24VDC power supply with a maximum ripple of 10%. The unit provides a DC 4-20mA current output and supports multiple display units including MPa, kPa, bar, and psi. Constructed with a PC front shell and brass nickel-plated pressure port, it offers IP40 protection and measures pressures from 0 to 1000 kPa.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• Digital display capability supporting eight distinct pressure units for versatile monitoring
• Integrated auto-shift function for simplified configuration and operation
• Compact housing design utilizing durable PC and PBT materials for industrial environments

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• Measurement of air pressure in pneumatic systems
• Monitoring non-corrosive gas pressure in industrial automation
• Integration into control systems requiring 4-20mA analog signals

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required output type, as the PSAN series includes voltage and switch variants. Confirm the process connection size is NPT1/8 and the pressure range aligns with system requirements. Ensure the operating environment temperature falls within the specified -10 to 50°C range to maintain accuracy and longevity.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this model when a digital readout and analog current signal are simultaneously required. The NPT1/8 thread is standard for many North American and Asian pneumatic fittings. Consider the IP40 rating for indoor use only, as it lacks protection against direct water jets or dust ingress beyond limited particles.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This component belongs to the Autonics PSAN Series, a line of compact digital pressure sensors. The series is characterized by its small footprint and ability to measure various fluid types including gas, liquid, and oil. The PSAN-1CPA-NPT1/8 specifically denotes the current output variant with NPT threading.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly listed in public documentation. Compatible alternatives must match the 12-24VDC input, 4-20mA output, NPT1/8 interface, and 0-1000 kPa range. Cross-referencing physical dimensions and mounting requirements is essential for mechanical compatibility.
