Application
The SITRANS P200 pressure transmitter for gauge and absolute
pressure is used in the following industrial areas:
Mechanical engineering
Shipbuilding
Power engineering
Chemical industry
Water supply
Design
Device structure without explosion protection
The pressure transmitter consists of a piezoresistive measuring
cell with a diaphragm installed in a stainless steel enclosure. It
can be used with a connector per EN 175301-803-A (IP65), a
round plug M12 (IP67), a cable (IP67) or a cable quick screw
connection (IP67) connected electrically. The output signal is
between 4 and 20 mA or 0 and 10 V.

Function
The pressure transmitter measures the gauge and absolute
pressure of liquids and gases as well as the level of liquids.
Mode of operation
SITRANS P200 pressure transmitters (7MF1565-...), functional diagram
The ceramic measuring cell has a thin-film resistance bridge to
which the operating pressure p is transmitted through a ceramic
diaphragm.
The voltage output from the measuring cell is converted by an
amplifier into an output current of 4 to 20 mA or an output voltage
of 0 to 10 V DC.
The output current and voltage are linearly proportional to the in-
put pressure.
