About the Setra 470
The Setra 470 Digital Pressure Transducer is a highly accurate pressure measurement
system utilizing the patented SETRACERAM
sensor, advanced micro-computer based
electronics, and sophisticated firmware, resulting in a 0.02% F.S. system accuracy
traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The Setra 470 accurately measures and reports barometric pressure. It also processes
the pressure data to provide useful information in a number of applications; barometric
altimetry, digital altimeter setting indication, and laboratory calibration.
The digital design of the Setra 470 provides a simple and reliable communications
interface for easy integration into digital control systems. This, in addition to the digital
signal processing of the sensing element signal, allows system designers to eliminate the
inaccuracies and cost of an analog data acquisition module.
The patented sensor and signal processing, the ease of operation, and the rugged design
of this unit will provide years of reliable and accurate service.
