Digital pressure sensor for hydrostatic level measurement up to 60 bar

Precont S40

Digital pressure sensor for hydrostatic pressure and level measurement up to 60 bar, with a flush dry capacitive ceramic measuring cell, 4-digit LED display, 4–20 mA or 0–10 V output and optional 2 PNP switching outputs.

Introduction

In pressure and level applications, stable readings depend on a sensor that can handle process media, pressure peaks and everyday commissioning work without complexity. This compact series measures hydrostatic pressure and level with relative or absolute pressure ranges up to 60 bar.
 
A dry capacitive ceramic measuring cell provides high accuracy and long-term stability, with selectable accuracy classes down to \leq \pm0.05% FS. The flush design supports process connections from threaded versions to hygienic fittings, while stainless steel and plastic housing options help match the device to the installation.
 
For integration, users can choose 4–20 mA 2-wire electronics or 0–10 V 3-wire electronics, with versions combining the analog output with 2 freely adjustable PNP switching points. A bright 4-digit LED display, menu-guided adjustment, 330° rotatable electronics and password protection support clear local operation.

Features

Hydrostatic measurement

The series measures pressure and hydrostatic level in relative or absolute pressure versions for process applications.

Process connections

Flush process connections include ISO 228-1 threads, DIN 11851, Varivent®, DRD, Tri-Clamp, DIN EN 1092-1 flanges, M44x1.25 and nut adapter versions.

Housing materials

Connection housings are available in CrNi-steel, PBT, PP or POM, depending on the selected connection and device version.

Electrical connection

Devices connect via M12x1 plug, terminal compartment or fixed 2 m cable according to the selected configuration.

Temperature versions

Standard process temperature covers -40 °C to +100 °C, with an extended version for -40 °C to +125 °C using a temperature decoupler.

Setting protection

The password function protects device settings against unintended changes during operation.
