Gefran TPSADA – Pressure Transmitter with Digital Autozero/Span

The TPSADA is an analog pressure transmitter designed for industrial test systems and hydraulic applications. It utilizes a thick film sensor on a stainless steel diaphragm. The main distinction from the TPSA model is the integrated Digital Autozero & Span function, which is magnetically activated without opening the device housing.

Technical Data

  • Measuring ranges: 0…4 to 0…1000 bar
  • Accuracy: ±0.1% FS or ±0.15% FS, depending on range
  • Overpressure: 3x…2x
  • Burst pressure: 5x…2.5x
  • Response time: < 1 ms
  • Process temperature: -40…+105 °C
  • Temperature compensation: -10…+85 °C
  • Body: AISI 304
  • Wetted parts: 17-4PH stainless steel
  • Protection: IP65 / IP66 / IP67 with suitable female connector

Signal Outputs

Standard outputs include 0.1…10.1 Vdc, 4…20 mA, and 0…10 Vdc. Optional outputs: 0.1…5.1 Vdc, 0…5 Vdc, 1…5 Vdc, 1…10 Vdc, 1…6 Vdc. The 4…20 mA output is preferred for field wiring to PLCs or data loggers; voltage outputs are used for short-distance connections to test controllers.

Autozero & Span Functions

Functions include coarse magnetic autozero, fine magnetic autozero, 80% FS calibration signal, magnetic autospan, partial reset, and total reset. These are used after installation, fitting changes, mechanical stress, or periodic offset checks.

Connections and Applications

Standard process connection: G 1/4 gas male. Available options: 7/16-20 UNF-2A SAE 4, G 1/2A DIN 16288, G 1/4 gas female. Typical use: production test benches, test machines, and hydraulic pressure measurement circuits.

Installation / Compliance

Shielded cable is required, separated from power cables. Compliance: RoHS 2011/65/EU, EMC 2014/30/EU, EN 50581:2012, EN 61326-1:2013, EN 61326-2-3:2013.

Overview

Digital “Autozero & Span” option makes the pressure transmitter TPSA Series a product extremely innovative and versatile.

Designed thanks to the advanced electronics used by TPSA, this function allows zero and span adjustment in a simple, fast and reliable way, avoiding to use analogue trimmer, potential weak point and source of possible drifts or failures.

The starting is user friendly, simply touching the specific target marked on the sensor body with a pen with magnetic head (included as standard).

Within few seconds the operation is concluded, without the need to dismantle or to open the instrument.
