ETP08

Electronic Transmitter for Pressure and Level

The ETP08 is a series of pressure

transmitters with a wide range of
connections to suit most applications.
The transmitters can measure liquids,
gases, vapours and can be used for
hydrostatic level measurements in open
tanks.
ETP08 is durable against overload. In
most pressure ranges, the transmitter
can withstand overloads three to four
times its maximum, nominal value and
will withstand even higher momentary
pressure surges.
ETP08 is a directly connected
transmitter with no pressure
transmission. This does away with
various problems, such as temperature
drift, which is normally experienced
with transmitters relying upon pressure
transmission. Since ETP08 does not use
a pressure transmission device, it offers
very high temperature stability.
The ETP08 transmitters are stable
with regard to temperature drift and
long term use and intended for two-wire
4–20 mA connection.

ETP08 has the following features:

● Direct connection with no pressure

seal, which eliminates temperature
drift and offers a robust solution.
● Can be used in applications with high
media temperatures, up to 150 °C.
● Several connection possibilities
offers a freedom of choice for
adaptation to each application.
● Simple to install, calibrate and
maintain.
● Well-proven construction, approved
for EExia, DNV and CE.
● Enclosure offers protection against
the ingress of dust and water to IP66.
● Durable against media with solid
particles.

Function Connection
ETP08 uses a piezo-resistive pressure
sensor which is connected to the
pressure of the medium via a capillary
–
tube and a diaphragm. Media pressure
applied to the diaphragm is transferred
via silicon oil to the pressure sensor. RY
The oil completely fills the cavity in the
sensor, the capillary tube and the cavity +
