The 261GC is a gauge pressure transmitter with a direct-mount remote seal and stainless steel housing, designed for industrial applications in harsh environments. It has a base accuracy of ±0.1%, measuring spans from 0.3 kPa to 60,000 kPa, and a turn-down ratio of up to 20:1. Operating temperature range is -40 to 85 °C, with IP67 and NEMA 4X enclosure ratings. It supports HART protocol with 4 to 20 mA output and configurable damping from 0 to 60 seconds. Compliance includes PED under Sound Engineering Practice and RoHS II Directive 2011/65/EU. Electromagnetic compatibility meets EN 61000-6-3 and EN 61000-6-2. Process connections include ASME B16.5 and EN 1092 flanges with AISI 316L SST diaphragms, and fill fluids include silicone oil, FDA-approved white oil, or inert fluids.
The compact, robust transmitter housing is made of 316 stainless steel as a standard. Due to its high corrosion resistance it can be used in a wide variety of process and ambient conditions without any problems.
The user friendly display allows simple and intuitive local transmitter operation. Full device support, including diagnostic / maintenance information is guaranteed via the Device Type Manager software used in either a stand alone or system engineering tool. The transmitter provides local zero and span adjustments even without display.
The wide range of available process connections meets even special industrial requirements:
