Absolute pressure • Vacuum Measured products Measured products are gases, vapours and liquids. Depending on the process fitting and measurement setup, measured products can be also viscous or contain abrasive substances. VEGABAR 38 • Three-wire with IO-Link (2 x transistor or 4 … 20 mA plus 1 x transistor)

The ambient pressure is detected in the measuring cell and compen- sated. It thus has no influence on the measured value. Absolute pressure: the measuring cell contains vacuum and is encapsulated. The ambient pressure is not compensated and does hence influence the measured value. VEGABAR 38 • Three-wire with IO-Link (2 x transistor or 4 … 20 mA plus 1 x transistor)
