WHITE PAPER PAGE 5 TE PRESSURE SENSORS /// WHITE PAPER The Importance of Pressure Sensors in HVACR Systems ROBUST DESIGN RESISTS INTERFERENCES The HVAC environment is very harsh with temperature swings, moisture, and high levels of shock and vibration. Making matters worse, if nearby equipment is switching heavy currents, this can cause electrical and EMC spikes that can challenge the precision electronics of most sensors. The M3200 is different. It uses a simple, elegant design that enables it to survive these harsh conditions. It contains a small, light circuit board with minimal interconnects, enabling it to resist high levels of shock and vibration. Additionally, a separate circuit is used to provide protection against electrical surges and noise. The pressure port and body employ a welded steel construction that is more resistant to accidental damage than softer materials. FLEXIBILITY FOR MODIFICATIONS AND FUTURE NEEDS The M3200's internal design allows us to provide the same basic sensor design for a wide range of configurations or standard options in a single product line. For design engineers, this is an important advantage. It means you can use our platform to easily modify your designs or extend them to address future market needs or specific customer concerns. For example, if a manufacturer was designing a system for multiple refrigerants with a range of pressures and pipe fittings, they could select one version of the M3200 with a 500psi range and a 7/16-20 thread and another with a 170bar pressure range and a 1/4-19 BSPP thread and still utilize the same or similar firmware, drawings and other documentation. A Solution That Grows With Your HVACR Needs The HVACR industry is continuously expanding the use of sensor technology to provide more efficient and effective systems. The industry is pushing for sensors that are highly accurate, repeatable, able to survive the harsh HVACR environment all while being cost effective and easy to use. The new TE Sensor Solutions M3200 provides all of these features in a flexible design. It can be used by your design engineers for a variety of HVACR applications such as commercial chillers, refrigeration controls, heat pumps, beverage dispensers, electronic expansion valves, container storage and much more.
