NEW PRESSURE SENSORS ARE EASY, COMPACT, AND FLEXIBLE
O 56
MRON Electronic Components Europe has introduced the E8Y-L series of compact pressure displays that combine easy installation with flexible features
suited to a variety of industrial process control and equipment monitoring applications. The 31mm × 30mm × 30mm units display sensed pressure on a 3-digit, 7-segment LED panel as well as open-collector 2-output connections. Some types have a standard industrial 4-20mA analog output. Four options allow designers to select the pressure-measurement range, from 0-200Pa, 0-500Pa, 0-2kPa and 0-5kPa. There is also a choice of 4.5mm barb pressure port connection or a 1/8” BSPT die-cast threaded connector for standard pipe fittings, available with the two high-pressure variants.
The flexible options let these sensors monitor pressure in diverse scenarios and different zones, such as maintaining the regulated pressure in a clean room, and automatically regulating ducts or valves. Among typical applications, the E8Y-L sensors are used in semiconductor wafer- processing reactors, to monitor organic gas-flow paths during implantation and in safety systems such as purge-gas leakage detection. Users can
easily set thresholds for upper and lower limits of measurement pressure, which can simplify detecting machinery faults such as clogged exhaust or blocked vents.
Special features of the new OMRON E8Y-L sensors include zero-point adjustment that lets users set the zero point to any value and simplify tracking pressure changes. In addition, automatic teaching lets the user set the pressure at which the sensor turns on or off. Users interact via four simple buttons on the front panel to select the measurement range, displayed channel, and operating mode. The sensors can operate from -10°C to 55°C with no condensation or icing, and with up to 85 per cent relative humidity, allowing use in a wide variety of industrial environments. With a wide supply-voltage range from 12V to 24V, and consuming up to 50mA or 75mA, the sensors are ready to operate from popular industrial power rails. In total, the new E8Y-L product line contains 13 members including all options for measurement range, output connection, and pressure port. All variants are in production now and available at distributors or OMRON online.
