PSQ-C1CU-RC1/8

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The Autonics PSQ-C1CU-RC1/8 is a compact digital pressure sensor designed for measuring air and non-corrosive gases. It features a dual-segment display supporting multiple units including MPa, kPa, bar, psi, and mmH2O. The device operates on 12-24VDC with a maximum current consumption of 50mA (70mA with current output). It offers configurable NPN or PNP collector open outputs and optional analog outputs (1-5VDC or DC4-20mA). The rated pressure range is -100 to 1,000kPa with an Rc1/8 rear interface. Accuracy is ±0.2% F.S., and it provides selectable response times from 2.5ms to 5,000ms.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• Dual-segment digital display for simultaneous local monitoring
• Configurable switching outputs (NPN/PNP) and optional analog signals
• Compact housing suitable for space-constrained industrial installations
• Selectable response time settings for precise control timing

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• Monitoring pneumatic system pressures in automation equipment
• Industrial process control requiring gas pressure feedback
• HVAC systems utilizing non-corrosive refrigerants or air
• Fluid power machinery with standard compressed air interfaces

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration matches the required output type, as the model indicates combined switching and analog capabilities. Confirm the Rc1/8 port size aligns with existing piping infrastructure. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity limits to maintain IP40 protection integrity. Check for necessary accessories like panel mounting brackets if surface installation is planned.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this model when both discrete switching and continuous analog feedback are required simultaneously. The wide pressure range accommodates various vacuum and positive pressure applications. Consider the response time options if fast-acting control loops are necessary. Verify material compatibility with the target fluid to prevent corrosion of the SUS303 pressure port.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This component belongs to the Autonics PSQ series of digital pressure sensors. The series is characterized by its small form factor and versatile output configurations. The PSQ-C1CU variant specifically combines switching and analog functionalities, distinguishing it from models that offer only one output type. It is part of a broader family including variants with different pressure ranges and interface types.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PSQ series models with matching Rc1/8 ports and similar electrical specifications. Models such as PSQ-C1C-RC1/8 provide switching-only alternatives if analog output is not needed. Cross-reference pinout definitions and voltage requirements when replacing with sensors from different manufacturers to ensure compatibility.
