Wherever the process pressure has to be indicated locally, and, at the same time, signal transmission to a central controller or remote control room is wanted, the model PGT43 intelliGAUGE can be used.

Through the combination of a high-quality mechanical measuring system and precise electronic signal processing, the process pressure can be read securely, even if the power supply is lost. The model PGT43 intelliGAUGE fulfils all safety-related requirements of the relevant standards and regulations for the on-site display of the operating pressure of pressure vessels. An additional measuring point for the mechanical pressure indication can thus be saved.

The model PGT43 is built upon a high-quality, stainless steel pressure gauge in safety pattern version Model 43x.30 with nominal size of 100 or 160. The pressure gauge is manufactured in accordance with EN 837-3.

The rugged design of the diaphragm measuring system produces a pointer rotation proportional to the pressure. An electronic angle encoder, proven in safety-critical automotive applications, determines the position of the pointer shaft – it is a non-contact sensor and therefore completely free from wear and friction. From this, the pressure-proportional, e.g. 4 ... 20 mA electrical output signal is produced.

The measuring span (electrical output signal) is set automatically along with the mechanical display, i.e. the scale over the full display range corresponds to 4 ... 20 mA. The electrical zero point can also be set manually.
