MAN-SC/LC Digital Pressure Gauges with IO Link

The intelligent MAN-SC/LC digital pressure gauges with IO-Link are used for the display, switching, and remote transmission of pressure-dependent operating sequences in machines and installations. The values are shown on a five-digit LCD display and the modules can be rotated at 90-deg. increments. Both versions offer a wide range of process connections.

Outwardly, the two versions are similar in appearance and share most of the screen functionality features which are now accessed via capacitive touchpad. However, depending on the application and use, each instrument version may be defined differently. For example, the battery-powered instrument is defined as a Digital Pressure Gauge, while the 24Vdc version is defined as a Digital Pressure Transmitter.

The alpha-numeric 14-segment reflective LC–display screen has a full 5-digit display and digit height of 0.63 in. The electronic screen module can now be rotated in 90-deg. increments; ideal for side mounted or inverted installations. The gauge head position can now be radially adjusted after installation for perfect positioning.

A range of measuring units are now accessible for selection from the programming menu, for example; kPa, MPa, bar, mbar, psi, kN, N, torr, inWC, mmWC, inHg, USR (user-defined measuring unit), providing more options than any comparative instrument so far.

Peak memory is featured, as is password protection, and reset to factory setting. Battery life with 9V Lithium is now increased to 22,500 hours (2.5 years). A zero (tare) function is now more easily accessible from within the menu, ideal for calibration. By popular request, a rubber protective case cover is now available as an option, ideal for test engineers and vulnerable areas of installation. Measuring ranges are available from -14.5 to 23,200 PSI.

Another feature is the calculation of Force Value which is included in the programming menu. This is calculated from the measured pressure value and a programmable reference area. There are many industrial applications that will benefit from this feature, but the most common request came from the construction test and safety sector for a digital pressure gauge to be included as part of the test equipment, for example, testing of anchors and fastenings in masonry and concrete to provide conformity assessments and certification in accordance with DIN EN 1090.
