DESCRIPTION

The Model 831 is the most durable, accurate and cost-effective fixed range pressure transmitter presently available.  An all stainless steel transmitter, it is designed for years of stable performance in even the toughest environmental and media conditions.  The Model 831 has been designed to meet FM explosion-proof ratings. The Model 831 meets NACE standards for offshore applications. A one year warranty is standard with every unit.

The small size and light weight of the Model 831 transmitter eliminate the need for complicated mounting hardware and mechanical supports, thereby reducing installation time substantially. The in-line connection permits simple field wiring without the need for additional hardware, adding to the speed and ease of installation.

A 4-20 mA output is standard with a 12-30 VDC power supply. With all 316 stainless steel welded construction, the Model 831 is compatible with corrosive media and harardous environment. With its all-welded construction, this transmitter is weatherproof and capable of a direct spray with forces up to 200 psi without internal leakage.
