2 Application / Construction / Mode of operation The baro transmitter measures the „ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE“ of at the location or calculates the „REDUCED AIR PRESSURE“ with respectively reduced altitude. • Absolute air pressure: air pressure measured in altitude of barometer. Other description of the „absolute air pressure“: “QFE“, used by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) •...

In order to compare air pressure values, which have been measured at different sites, reasonably with each others, they have to be converted to a mutual reference height. The calculation is referring to sea level (QNH) acc. to the international altitude formula (DIN ISO2533).
3 Mechanical Mounting The baro transmitter can be operated in air (non-condensing) and in non-conductive gases. Attention: On application in liquids or aggressive gases the instrument can be destructed! The special screwed cable gland with linear smoothing function for air pressure should indicate downward.

Control character: CR – Carriage Return (13 ; 0x0D) LF – Line Feed (10 ; 0x0A) STX – Start of Text (2 ; 0x02) ETX – End of Text (3 ; 0x03) Separation character: Separation character between the individual measuring values in the string is the semicolon ’;’. The check sum separation character is the multiplication sign ’*’.
8.2 General Construction on Sending a Command The baro transmitter has a command interpreter that can change the behaviour of the instrument . That way, for ex. the baud rate, the instrument ID can be modified: Generally, a command is constructed as follows: <id><command><CR>...
