FAQ

1. What is the housing material?
Many of our transmitters come with a 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel housing. Others, like the LM-Series submersible transmitters, will have 316Ti stainless steel. The well service transmitter has a 316L stainless steel housing. These materials protect the transmitter more in harsh environments or aggressive media.

2. What is the standard output?
The standard output signal is 4-20 mA.

3. Is it called a “transmitter” or “transducer”?
The general difference between a transmitter and transducer is the electrical output, where a transmitter outputs signals in milliamps (mA) and a transducer outputs signals in volts (V) or millivolts per volts (mV/V).

4. Are transmitters susceptible to temperature?
Yes. Like all instrumentation, transmitters have an optimal operating temperature range. These ranges can go from -40F (-40C) to as high as 275F (135C). Using transmitters outside their normal operating temperatures may affect accuracy or stability.
