New Precision Level Transducer Delivers Extreme Accuracy

Measurement Specialties (USA), a global designer and manufacturer of sensor and sensor-based systems for measuring pressure/force, position, vibration, temperature, humidity and fluid properties, now offers the TruBlue 575 Baro transducer that measures and logs barometric pressure as well as temperature with extreme accuracy.

The new absolute, non-submersible 575 Baro has an internal memory of 8 MB and can store up to 550,000 data points. Its internal 3.6 V lithium battery, with on-board surge protection, has a lifespan of five years, making this new transducer ideal for groundwater and surface water data collection and monitoring applications in low-maintenance systems and remote locations.

The TruBlue 575 Baro provides an accuracy of ±0.1% FS total error band, which includes changes in temperature within the compensated temperature range of 0°C to 50°C. The transducer has an RS-485 electrical interface.

The new transducer comes standard with TruWare, Measurement Specialties’ user-friendly software created specifically for the TruBlue line. Users can view, graph and export test data using this software. TruWare is available for PC applications.

Sampling modes for the TruBlue 575 Baro include linear, linear average and event, with programmable sampling rates of up to five readings per second.

The transducer is just 3/4” in diameter and comes in welded stainless steel or titanium. It has an operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C and a pressure range from 8 to 16 psia.

The 575 Baro has a two-year warranty and comes standard with a calibration report.
