Differential Pressure (Flow)
Transmitter
Models FKC...5

The STX2100 differential pressure (flow) transmitter

accurately measures differential pressure, liquid
level, gauge pressure or flow rate and transmits
a proportional 4 to 20mA signal. The transmitter
utilizes a unique micromachined capacitance
silicon sensor with state-of-the-art microprocessor
technology to provide exceptional performance and
functionality.

Features

• High accuracy up to ±0.04%

• Minimum environmental influence

• HART® bilingual communications protocol

• Application flexibility

• Programmable output Linearization Function

• Burnout current flexibility (Under Scale: 3.2 to

4.0mA, Over Scale: 20.0 to 22.5mA)

• Dry calibration without reference pressure
