  • Page 9: Chapter 2 Product Description

    The barometers with an analog output are available with different scalings between 500 ... 1100 hPa for 0 ... 5V or 0 ... 2.5V. The PTB210 series barometers are also available with a digital output. The PTB210 series barometers offer an excellent solution for outdoor installations.
  • Page 10 User's Guide _______________________________________________________________________ The PTB210 barometers incorporate the BAROCAP silicon ® capacitive absolute pressure sensor developed by Vaisala. The sensor features excellent hysteresis and repeatability characteristics and has an outstanding temperature and long-term stability. Silicon diaphragm Thin film metallization Silicon...
  • Page 11: Chapter 3 Installation

    Chapter 3 ________________________________________________________________ Installation CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION Mounting Due to the compact design of the PTB210, all you need to do is to mount the instrument, and to connect the wires. Use one of the following three mounting options. - Remove the pressure fitting, and place the barometer on a desired structure.
  • Page 12: Static Pressure Head

    In demanding wind conditions, it is recommended to use Vaisala's static pressure head, SPH10/20, to which the PTB210 digital barometers can be directly integrated.
  • Page 13: Connections

    The gray and green wires are used to connect the barometer to PC when using the calibration Wizard software, or to Vaisala PMI20 digital barometer display. As a ground, use the blue wire. If an external power control is used, its signal wire is connected to the yellow wire.

  • Page 15: Calibration And Adjustment

    Chapter 4 ___________________________________________________ Calibration and Adjustment CHAPTER 4 CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENT The PTB210 series barometers can be fine adjusted and calibrated against pressure standards that have high accuracy and stability as well as known traceability to international standards. By comparing the output to a reference, the user can define the corrections required for readjustment.

    User's Guide _______________________________________________________________________ Operation To start the Wizard program in NT: 1. Double-click the My Computer icon. 2. Double-click the drive that contains the file. 3. To start the program, double-click the -file. WIZARD To start a program by using the Run command in NT 1.
  • Page 17 Chapter 4 ___________________________________________________ Calibration and Adjustment 3. Give reference pressure values and the corresponding corrections. Calculate the corrections according to the equations below. NOTE Because the lower end of voltage output is not exactly 0 V, use as lower calibration point a value approximately 40 mV above the lower end limit.
