Inertial Aerosystems announces the availability of a new range of barometric pressure transducers designed primarily for automatic weather observing systems (Awos)
Manufactured by Honeywell Solid State Electronics Centre, these devices meet the stringent requirements of US FAA advisory circular 150/5220-16C, which is the accepted criteria for airports world-wide.
Designated the HPB/A and PPT range these innovative products and cost effective combine proven Mems silicon sensor technology with microprocessor signal conditioning to eliminate the need to insulate or temperature-regulate the barometer.
The Awos requirements for barometric pressure transducer include: two barometers per Awos system, pressure range 17.58-31.53inchesHg with a maximum error of .02inchesHg, resolution 0.001inchesHg increments, maximum drift with time 0.01inchesHg over six months and temperature range (class 2 outdoors) -55 to+55C.
Available in a compact rugged package these products have many programmeable features and RS232, RS485 or TTL outputs.
An optional, external, digital display is available.
