Description
The IIoT-capable model PGW2x.100 pressure gauge finds its use wherever the process pressure has to be indicated on-site and, at the same time, centralised, web-based remote monitoring is required.
The model PGW2x.100 is based on a fully welded and robust Bourdon tube measuring system. It therefore combines the mechanical measuring system with electronic signal processing.
Battery-operated wireless transmission via LoRaWAN® (“Long Range Wide Area Network”) is based on LPWAN technology (“Low Power Wide Area Network”) to enable high transmission ranges and long battery life.
The model PGW2x.100 pressure gauge fulfils safety-related requirements of the relevant standards and regulations for the on-site indication of the operating pressure of pressure vessels, as well as the requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive for data communication. In particular, the LoRaWAN® network enables the complete end-to-end encryption with bidirectional communication for safe IIoT applications.
The model PGU2x.100 is based upon a model 2xx.30 high-quality pressure gauge with a nominal size of 100,
which corresponds to the S3 safety version of the EN 837-1.
