WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY
DO NOT USE these products as safety or
emergency stop devices, or in any other
application where failure of the product could
result in personal injury.
Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in death or serious injury.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The XPXL/XPX and XPCL/XPC Series
sensors integrate silicon micromachined
sensing technology, temperature
compensation and calibration in a complete
family of low-cost packages. These
piezoresistive pressure sensors use
micromachined silicon chips mounted on a
ceramic and protected with a plastic cap.
Several tube arrangements with nylon
housings are available for various pressure
applications.
Gage pressure is measured with respect to
ambient pressure. When applied pressure
increases, the differential voltage between
the two output pins increases. As pressure
decreases, differential voltage decreases.
Differential sensors provide a differential
voltage proportional to the pressure
differential between port P2 and P1. As
DP = P2 – P1 increases, differential voltage
increases. As DP = P2 – P1 decreases,
differential voltage decreases.
