Small digital pressure transmitters for
your challenging project

Pressure transmitters and level sensors with digital interfaces are perfect for customised solutions.
Their low supply voltage and optimised power consumption make them ideal for battery-operated and wireless applications.
Pressure ranges: 0,3…1000 bar / ATEX Approval / Pressure and temperature data
