Pro-Range PR17C-RS-030K Pressure Gauge 0-30Ka RS485 Output - G1/4 Thread, 1m Cable

The gauge uses a standard RS485 serial interface, which typically supports the Modbus RTU protocol. This allows for direct integration into industrial PLCs, SCADA systems, and data acquisition units that support Modbus communication over long distances.

The sensor operates on a wide 12 to 24 VDC power supply. You can connect it to any stable DC power source within this range, such as a standard industrial 24VDC power supply or a regulated 12VDC adapter, ensuring correct polarity on the supplied cable.

The stainless steel housing and piezoresistive sensor are designed for use with non-corrosive liquids and gases, including water, oil, and hydraulic fluids. Ensure the media is compatible with stainless steel (SUS 304/316) for long-term reliability.

Configuration is performed via the RS485 interface using Modbus commands. You will need a compatible configuration software or a master device (like a PLC or PC with a USB-to-RS485 converter) to read and write to the gauge's internal registers as defined in its datasheet.

Install the gauge by screwing its G1/4 male threaded port into a corresponding G1/4 female port on your pipeline or pressure vessel. Use appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape) to ensure a leak-proof connection. Avoid overtightening and ensure the cable is routed away from heat sources and Sharp Microelectronics edges.
