FAQs of Sensocon USA Miniature Low Cost Differential Pressure Gauge Series S-5001:
Q: How do I adjust the zero point on the Sensocon S-5001 differential pressure gauge?
A: You can adjust the zero point using the external screw located on the housing, allowing for easy and efficient field calibration as required during installation or regular maintenance.
Q: What media can the Series S-5001 pressure gauge measure?
A: The gauge is designed to measure the differential pressure of air and compatible, non-corrosive gases, making it suitable for various HVAC, filtration, and cleanroom applications.
Q: When should the gauge be recalibrated or serviced?
A: The gauge should be recalibrated if you notice inaccurate readings or after significant changes in operating conditions. Routine servicing is minimal due to its mechanical design, but regular calibration is advised for optimum accuracy.
Q: Where can I mount the S-5001 gauge?
A: It supports surface mounting using the included bracket, and you can choose either a back or bottom connection configuration to accommodate your installation needs.
Q: What are the benefits of using a diaphragm-sensing element over a Bourdon tube in this gauge?
A: The diaphragm sensing element offers enhanced sensitivity for low-pressure measurement and provides instantaneous, reliable readings, ideal for applications requiring quick response times.
Q: What is the overpressure limit for the Series S-5001 and what happens if exceeded?
A: The gauge has an overpressure limit of 15 psi (1.03 bar). Exceeding this may damage the sensing element or affect accuracy, so it is important to remain within specified limits.
Q: How does the S-5001 ensure durability in industrial environments?
A: Constructed with a molded ABS plastic housing, silicone diaphragm, and a clear polycarbonate cover, it holds an IP50 rating to resist dust ingress, ensuring a long operational life in challenging environments.
