The VSM-1 series vacuum transmitter is designed for measurement in a variety of industrial applications. Its modular compact design offers a unique combination of high measurement performance, flexible configuration and a robust stainless steel design. Applications include vacuum fore-line surveillance, freeze-drying and heat treatment furnaces. The VSM-1 is programmable and configurable from a PC via the novel S4-Connect™ interface.
Diaphragm sensor technology
he VSM-1 transducer is based on a 316 stainless steel sensor diaphragm that converts the applied pressure to an electric signal. The ceramic sensor surface in combination with the 316 stainless steel flange and internal Viton® sealing offers excellent chemical resistance and compatibility with a wide range of aggressive gases, solvents and acids. The VSM-1 sensor is built to last and can withstand continuous vibrations and instant pressure changes from vacuum to atmosphere.
