TE's MEAS M5600 and U5600 wireless pressure transducers, available from Mouser Electronics, are high-precision, dual-input pressure and temperature sensors designed with a 24-bit resolution ADC using I2C output protocols. Signal pairing and transmission distance are up to 19.80 meters with both devices, and each is powered by a CR2050 350mAh battery that lasts approximately two years. The M5600 pressure sensor features a stainless steel housing and a 17-4 PH or 316L polycarbonate enclosure, while the U5600 is made of 316L stainless steel and a polycarbonate enclosure. Both the M5600 and U5600 are extremely durable, with no O-rings, welds, or organic compounds exposed to pressure media. They are weather-resistant and meet IP66 and IP67 ratings, respectively. The temperature accuracy for both devices is ±3 degrees Celsius, and the pressure range is from 0 to 5 psi up to 15,000 psi. The M5600 is rated for up to ±0.25% pressure accuracy, and the U5600 is rated for up to ±0.1% pressure accuracy. The devices can also be used in harsh conditions such as contaminated water, steam, or mildly corrosive fluids.
Both transducers are available from Mouser Electronics in a wide variety of port configurations, and are targeted at many types of wireless and sensor-based RF applications including industrial process control and monitoring, advanced climate control systems, refrigeration systems, automotive testing, off-road vehicles, pumps and compressors, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, agricultural equipment, power generation and management, and pool pump monitoring.
