HM3051 Smart Differential Pressure Transmitter

Product Overview

The HM3051 is an intelligent smart differential pressure transmitter utilizing advanced micro-processor technology with A/D and D/A conversion capabilities. Featuring HART protocol communication for digital data exchange, the HM3051 combines proven capacitor-type sensing elements with signal linearization, temperature compensation, and engineering unit conversion for maximum measurement accuracy and reliability.

Key Capabilities: Signal linearization and temperature compensation • E2PROM non-volatile parameter storage • HART protocol (BELL 202 FSK at 1200Hz/2200Hz) overlapped on 4-20mA signal • Externally adjustable zero and span • Wide range of process connections • Multiple material options for harsh environments.

The HM3051 supports a wide measuring range from 0~0.125 KPa to 40 MPa with multiple accuracy options (±0.1%FS, ±0.25%FS, or ±0.5%FS). Available in both standard 4-20mA output and HART digital communication variants, the HM3051 is certified for explosion-proof (Type d II BT4) and intrinsically safe (II CT6) applications.
