Application for use relevant to the designated category
The HMF, HMF P/S, HWF and HWF P/S series transducer can be used in a pressure sensing chain in order to
stop any pressure generating system if a pressure threshold is overcome.
The threshold is only set in factory and can’t be changed by the user.
In diagram “A” (Fig. 10.2) is shown a possible application: the sensor detects the pressure and gives in output an
analog electrical value proportional to the pressure itself; SRP/CS compares the signal with its internal alarm threshold:
if the threshold is exceeded the SRP/CS will stop the pressure generation systems.
