DS 401 Intelligent Electronic Pressure Switch Stainless Steel

The BD Sensors DS 401 is a robust and intelligent electronic pressure switch designed for universal industrial applications, particularly where viscous, pasty, or highly contaminated media are involved. Featuring a flush ceramic diaphragm, the DS 401 ensures reliable pressure measurement even in challenging media conditions. Its rotatable stainless steel globe housing is engineered for durability and ease of installation in harsh environments. The device offers one or two configurable independent PNP contacts and an optional analogue output, providing versatile control and monitoring capabilities. The integrated 4-digit LED display allows for clear and precise indication of measured values, enhancing operational efficiency.

With a nominal pressure range from 0 … 400 mbar up to 600 bar, the DS 401 meets high accuracy standards according to IEC 60770, with an accuracy of 0.5% FSO and options for improved precision. The device is designed for demanding industrial sectors such as plant and machine engineering and environmental engineering (water, sewage, recycling). Optional versions include intrinsically safe models for hazardous areas and pressure ports made from PVDF for specific media compatibility. The DS 401 combines advanced functionality, rugged construction, and flexible configuration to meet diverse industrial pressure monitoring needs.
