Level

Conformity error at limit point setting, including hysteresis and repeatability - level
Measuring span ratio r (spread,
Turn-Down)
● Linear characteristic curve
Effect of ambient temperature
In percent per 28 °C (50 °F)
250 mbar/25 kPa/3.63 psi
5 bar/500 kPa/72.52 psi
600 mbar/60 kPa/8.70 psi
1600 mbar/160 kPa/23.21 psi
Data only applies to the basic unit. The error of the remote seal must be considered additively.
