ASIC
Application-Specific Integrated Circuit is an integrated circuit (IC) customized for a particular
use, rather than intended for general-purpose use.

EMC
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the branch of electrical sciences which studies the
unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy with reference
to the unwanted effects (Electromagnetic Interference, or EMI) that such energy may induce.
The goal of EMC is the correct operation, in the same electromagnetic environment, of different
equipment which use electromagnetic phenomena, and the avoidance of any interference
effects.
IP
An IP (Ingress Protection) number is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures
around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests. The IP number is
composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid objects and the
second against liquids. The higher the number, the better the protection. For example, in IP67
the first Number (6) means that the device is totally protected against dust, and the second (7)
that it is protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m
PED
The Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC) is the legislative framework on European level
for equipment subject to a pressure hazard. It was adopted by the European Parliament and the
European Council in May 1997 and has been obligatory throughout the European Union since
May 2002.
SENSORPROM
All sensor related settings/data saved on an EPROM. SENSORPROM technology
automatically configures the transmitter at start up providing calibration data, pipe size, sensor
type, and output settings. The SENSORPROM automatically stores values or settings changed
by users, and automatically re-programs any new transmitter without loss of accuracy.
