Selecting the Transducer Type
Gauge and High Temperature Gauge Transducers
The Gauge Transmitter is normally used on dry and pressure neutral locations.
The Gauge Transmitter is available in 4 ranges:
• 0 - 3.5 mH
• 0 - 7.0 H
• 0 - 16.0 mH
• 0 - 35.0 mH
Absolute Transducers
The Absolute Transmitter is typically used if the amplifier is exposed to water, e.g. on open
deck.
The Absolute Transmitter is available in 2 ranges: 0 - 20 and 0 - 35 mH
means
10 mH O less than the nominal range because of the atmospheric pressure which must be
2
taken into consideration when choosing the transducer.
A transducer with an effective range larger than the tank height should be selected.

The absolute transducer has no breather pipe, because it refers
to absolute vacuum. An atmospheric pressure sensor is used to
compensate for the atmospheric pressure. The absolute trans-
ducer is especially suitable for open deck applications, where
the amplifier box may be exposed to flooding.
The gauge transducer is fitted with a breather pipe at the back
of the diaphragm to compensate for the atmospheric pressure.
The breather pipe is connected to a vent plug in the amplifier
box. The gauge transducer is suitable for most applications.
The transducer is mounted with a special high temperature
cable and designed for heated tanks e.g. HFO tanks, and other
applications with high tank media temperatures.
