Schneider Electric has announced the release of a new range of XMLP Pressure Sensors as part of its Telemecanique Sensors brand.

Pressure sensors are used for control and monitoring in many different applications and can also be used to indirectly measure other variables such as fluid and gas flow, speed, water level, and altitude.

The XMLP series is designed to be used with applications within the HVAC & Hydraulic industries which includes the refrigeration and air-conditioning markets. The XMLP pressure sensors are suited to mobile lifts, cranes and specialist vehicles with built in hydraulic systems.

Key features and benefits of the OsiSense XMLP Pressure Sensor series include:

• ‘Thin film’ technology combined with a no gasket requirement on selected models is a key feature for use with refrigerant gases.
• A welded pressure unit which sits directly onto the stainless steel body of the pressure transmitter allowing for use with all types of fluids, including hydraulic oils, refrigeration gases, fresh water and sea water.
• A stainless steel (304) design, with flexible pressure range options (from 0 to 600 bar) and connections including G1/4A or 7/16-20 UNF for fluid & M12 or DIN 43650 for electrical connections.

The XMLP series offer a high level of protection from dust and moisture with IP65 or IP67 and can operate with fluid temperatures from -30 to120°C. Each unit of the XMLP series is available with either 4-20mA, 0-10V or 0.5-4.5V output options.
