Barometric pressure transmitter for atmospheric monitoring

PBS860 / PBS880

Barometric pressure transmitter for atmospheric monitoring measures 600…1100 hPa or 800…1100 hPa, with 4…20 mA, 0…1 V, 0…5 V or 0…10 V output, IP65 housing and optional static port.

Introduction

Accurate atmospheric pressure data supports better decisions in meteorology, environmental logging, cleanrooms and compensation tasks. The PBS860... / PBS880... series uses a temperature-compensated piezoresistive sensor to convert barometric pressure into an analog output signal.
 
Two measuring ranges cover common station requirements: 600…1100 hPa for PBS860 and 800…1100 hPa for PBS880. Depending on the model, output is 2-wire 4…20 mA, 0…1 V, 0…5 V or 0…10 V. Factory calibration, ± 0.5 hPa accuracy at 20 °C and long-term stability below 0.25% F.S. over 6 months support dependable integration with data loggers and control systems.
 
The IP65 polycarbonate housing mounts to a wall through internal fixing holes. For outdoor measurements, the optional static pressure port with mast bracket and silicone tube reduces wind-flow influence, with deviation below 0.3 hPa at 20 m/s when used.

Features

Two pressure ranges

PBS860 measures 600…1100 hPa, while PBS880 measures 800…1100 hPa for barometric applications.

Piezoresistive sensor

The temperature-compensated sensor provides stable, repeatable atmospheric pressure measurement.

Analog output versions

Models are available with 2-wire 4…20 mA current loop or 0…1 V, 0…5 V and 0…10 V voltage outputs.

Factory calibration

The sensor is factory calibrated and includes a zero adjustment potentiometer for offset calibration to station elevation.

Wall-mounted housing

The transmitter uses a polycarbonate housing with IP65 protection and internal holes for wall mounting.

Pressure input orientation

Mounting the pressure input downward helps reduce dust and dirt accumulation on the input.

Static pressure port

The optional static port includes a support bracket for Ø30…50 mm mast mounting and a silicone tube connection.

Electrical connection

Power supply and output are connected via an internal screw terminal header and PG7 cable gland.
