Boxborough, MA -- Setra Systems, a leading designer and manufacturer of pressure transducers, introduces its new Model 524 strain gauge slimline pressure transducer. Ideal for industrial and residential water level applications, the Model 524 is immersible to 200mwg and rated for NEMA 6/IP68 operation. Its custom hermetic header is triple-sealed and guaranteed to eliminate the potential for water intrusion in the transducer, even if the cable sheath is damaged.

With a small ¾ inch diameter footprint, the Model 524 avoids downtime by offering superior stability and long-term reliability. All wetted parts are constructed of corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, polyurethane and acetal, which makes the sensor resistant to the effects of condensation caused by a high humidity environment, assuring long-term stability and service.

The Model 524 is offered with choice of millivolt, voltage or current outputs over almost any pressure range, 0.25% FS accuracy, a compensated temperature range of -15°F to +120°F (-10°C to 50°C), operating temperatures as low as -40°F to 180°F (-40°C to 80°C) and gauge pressure ranges from 33 ft.WG (10mWG) up to 656 ft.WG (200mWG).

The Model 524's modular design is offered with a variety of pressure and electrical connections, enabling the unit to be custom-configured for virtually any OEM application.

Setra Systems, Inc. is a designer, developer, and manufacturer of high accuracy electronic instrumentation, which measures pressure, acceleration, and weight. Setra's products are used by many process and manufacturing industries, federal agencies, and research laboratories. In addition, all of Setra's pressure transducers are CE compliant.
