High Precision Barometric Transmitter

HD9408.3B

Barometric transmitter for precision atmospheric pressure, measuring up to 0…1350 hPa on digital versions or 500…1200 hPa analog, with 0.01 hPa resolution, IP67 housing and low power use.

Introduction

Accurate atmospheric pressure data supports better decisions in weather stations, environmental monitoring, laboratories, clean rooms and vehicle emission testing. HD9408.3B uses a high accuracy piezoresistive, temperature-compensated sensor to deliver stable barometric pressure measurement with 0.01 hPa resolution.
 
The transmitter is factory calibrated at several pressure and temperature points, then compensates the output across the full -40...+85 °C operating range. Digital versions measure 0…1350 hPa, while analog versions cover 500…1200 hPa, with digital accuracy down to ± 0.1 hPa in the 500…1200 hPa range at 23 °C.
 
Integration is flexible for both local systems and sensor networks. HD9408.3B.1 offers RS485, RS422, RS232 and 0…5 or 1…5 V analog output. HD9408.3B.2 adds 0…20 or 4…20 mA output, and HD9408.3B.3 provides SDI-12. Low absorption and an IP67 anticorodal housing make it suitable for remote acquisition systems and harsh environments.

High pressure accuracy
Digital outputs achieve ± 0.1 hPa accuracy in the 500…1200 hPa range at 23 °C.
Wide temperature use
Compensation supports operation across -40...+85 °C.
Remote-system fit
HD9408.3B.3 draws < 200 µA @ 12 Vdc between measurements.
Rugged housing
IP67 anticorodal housing supports use in harsh environments.

Features

Output versions

HD9408.3B.1 combines serial outputs with 0…5 or 1…5 V analog output. HD9408.3B.2 provides serial outputs with 0…20 or 4…20 mA. HD9408.3B.3 uses SDI-12.

Digital protocols

HD9408.3B.1 and HD9408.3B.2 support Modbus-RTU, NMEA 0183 and ASCII proprietary protocols via RS485, RS422 or RS232 depending on configuration.

Selectable units

Pressure transmitted with Modbus-RTU and SDI-12 can be expressed in Pa, hPa, kPa, mbar, bar, atm, psi, mmHg, inHg, mmH2O, ftH2O, kg/cm2 or Torr.

Analog configuration

Analog versions can be configured for a different pressure interval within the 500…1200 hPa range, with optional offset or reversed output direction.

Sensor offset setting

A pressure measurement offset from -10.00 hPa to +10.00 hPa can be added through the ASCII proprietary protocol.

Installation

The transmitter mounts via housing holes and uses an M12 connector. The pressure connection accepts a Ø 5 mm flexible tube.
