Function
The ceramic measuring cell is a dry measuring cell i.e. the pressure acts directly on the
robust, ceramic process isolating diaphragm of the Waterpilot FMX21. Changes in air
pressure are guided via a pressure compensation tube through the extension cable to the
rear of the ceramic process isolating diaphragm and are compensated for. A pressure-
dependent change in capacitance, caused by the movement of the process isolating
diaphragm, is measured at the electrodes of the ceramic carrier. The electronics unit then
converts this to a signal that is proportional to the pressure and linear to the level.
