General information
Manufacturer
Fuchs
Instrument
Pressure transmitter
Designation
PPC-M10, PPC-M20, LHC-M20, LHC-M40
Application
Measurement of absolute and gauge pressure in gases, vapours, liquids
Operation and system design Measuring principle
Barcon PPC-M20, LHC-M20 with ceramic sensor
The pressure causes a slight deflection of the ceramic
diaphragm of the sensor. The change in the
capacitance is proportional to the pressure and is
measured by the electrodes of the ceramic sensor.
Volume of chamber: approx. 2 mm³ (0.078 in³)
Barcon PPC-M10, LHC-M40 with metal sensor
The process pressure acting on the metallic
separating diaphragm of the sensor is transmitted via
a filling fluid to a resistance bridge. The change in the
output voltage of the bridge is proportional to the
pressure and is then measured.
Volume of chamber: smaller than 1 mm³ (0.039 in³)
Measuring system
Barcon and power supply e. g. via transmitter power
pack and operation via
• two keys on the instrument and a plug-in display
module
• handheld terminal
• PC with the PACTware operating program via HART
modem
Construction
Standard SS housing, for process connections see
