The efector 500 is based on a ceramic measuring pressure cell which converts the measured quantity of pressure into a capacitive signal as a result of the deflection of a diaphragm. A microprocessor controls the evaluation of the electrical signal. For the efector 500 the system pressure is directly indicated on the unit by an LED display.
The extraordinary mechanical characteristics of the efector 500 result from the following design features:
The measuring pressure cell is designed in such a way that the diaphragm is supported by the base in the case of overload pressure. This leads to a high strength against hidden pressure peaks at values outside the measuring range.
The measuring pressure cell consists of ceramic which has ideal elastic features thus ensuring a high long-term stability of the diaphragm.
The electronic circuitry is made in film technology, i.e. a flexible, temperature-stable and extremely resistant polyimide film is used as a carrier for the SMD components. In conjunction with a special potting compound this leads to a high shock and vibration resistance.
