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.

It provides a three wire 1-5 or 0.8-3.2 voltage output and requires less than 30 milliwatts of total power to operate. The combination of low power requirement, small size, excellent performance and low price make the Model 831 low power transmitter ideal for critical outdoor, solar/battery powered applications. The Model 831 low power transmitter requires 8-14VDC excitation and is available in pressure ranges from 15 to 5000 PSI.
