Specification subject to change without notice.

Options
Non Standard Calibration
All transducers are supplied calibrated to standard input values as detailed in the individual specifications,
however non-standard calibration input values can be specified (subject to technical viability).

Wide Output Adjust Switch on Power Transducers

All power transducers are available with a ten position switch accessible from the front panel which provides
coarse adjustment of the output signal between 50% and 200% of the nominal.

Calibration Certificate
Calibration certificates traceable to national standards can be supplied on all transducers.

Conformal Coating
A conformal coating can be applied to the transducer circuitry during manufacture for transducers that will be
operating in harsh environmental conditions.
