HE Series — European OEM Standard
HE10 Industrial OEM Pressure Transmitter
Compact, cost-effective pressure transmitter built to European OEM standards. Five output options (4-20mA, 0-5V, 1-5V, 0.5-4.5V, I2C), MIL-STD 500g shock resistance, modular connector system — designed for machine builders and equipment integrators.
European OEM Design Philosophy: Performance Where It Counts
European machine builders need a pressure transmitter that bolts into a manifold, connects with a standard industrial connector, and works reliably for 10+ years — but they don’t need 0.1% accuracy or HART protocol. They need competitive unit cost at 500+ quantities.
The HE10 is designed specifically for this market. Modular construction with interchangeable electrical connectors (Hirschmann DIN, M12, cable), standard metric process threads, and five output options covering every integration scenario from 4-20mA PLC loops to direct I2C digital communication.
Shock resistance sets the HE10 apart: rated at 500g/1ms per IEC 60068-2-27 and 20g vibration per IEC 60068-2-6. An optional damping buffer (“S” suffix) adds protection against hydraulic water hammer and pressure spikes up to 300% of full scale.
The diffused silicon sensing element delivers ±0.5% FS accuracy with ±0.2% FS/year stability and ≤4 ms response time. The I2C variant runs on 3.3–5V with ultra-low power draw — suitable for battery-powered remote monitoring and IoT sensor nodes.

Key Features
500g Shock / 20g Vibration Resistance
Tested to IEC 60068-2-27 (500g/1ms) and IEC 60068-2-6 (20g, 20–2000 Hz). Survives inside hydraulic power packs, reciprocating compressors, and mobile construction equipment. Optional “S” damping buffer protects against hammer events up to 300% FS.
Five Output Options, Same Package
4-20mA for PLCs, 0-5V/1-5V for direct ADC, 0.5-4.5V ratiometric for automotive 5V systems, I2C digital for embedded controllers at 3.3V. All five share the same mechanical package — simplifying OEM inventory.
European OEM Modular Design
Interchangeable connectors (Hirschmann DIN, M12, cable), standard metric threads, compact stainless steel body for panel or manifold mounting. Standardize on one sensor across product lines.
Full EMC Compliance
EN 61000-6-2 (industrial immunity) and EN 61000-6-3 (emission). Operates reliably alongside VFDs, servo motors, and welding equipment. No external EMI filtering required.
600 Bar Upper Range
Covers high-pressure hydraulics including injection molding clamp pressure, hydraulic press force monitoring, and high-pressure water jet systems — where many compact OEM sensors top out at 250–400 bar.
Ultra-Low Power I2C Option
Runs on 3.3–5V with minimal current draw for battery-powered remote monitoring, portable test equipment, and IoT sensor nodes. Provides factory-calibrated pressure data directly over two-wire bus.
Applications
Machine Building & OEM Equipment
The HE10’s primary market: machine builders needing a standardized, cost-effective pressure transmitter across product lines. Hydraulic power units, CNC coolant systems, packaging machinery pneumatics, and injection molding hydraulics. Five output options mean one mechanical design fits multiple machine variants.
Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems
Cylinder pressure monitoring, accumulator pre-charge verification, filter clog detection, and pneumatic supply regulation. The 500g shock rating and optional damping buffer handle pulsation from axial piston pumps and water hammer from fast-acting directional valves.
Pump & Compressor Monitoring
Suction and discharge pressure for centrifugal, reciprocating, and screw compressors. Pump curve verification, cavitation detection, and seal pressure monitoring. The ≤4 ms response captures pulsation for vibration analysis and predictive maintenance.
Mobile Machinery & Vehicles
Construction equipment hydraulics, agricultural implement control, and commercial vehicle braking monitoring. The -20 to +85°C range, 20g vibration rating, and IP67 cable protection handle temperature extremes and off-highway conditions.
Water & Wastewater
Pump station discharge pressure, distribution network monitoring, and filter backwash control. The 4-20mA output drives signals over 500+ meter cable runs to SCADA systems without degradation. IP67 handles wet pump station environments.
HVAC & Refrigeration
Chiller compressor discharge/suction pressure, refrigerant line pressure verification, and boiler/steam monitoring. The Hirschmann DIN connector matches European HVAC wiring practice, and 0-5V output interfaces with most BMS analog input modules.
