Advantages

The PT12 can transform your analog sensors into a digital sensor system. Easy to connect with SDI-12 recorders— convenient for an existing SDI-12 system plus a Modbus® RTU communication interface for further flexibility. Delivers great noise immunity, thermal performance, and transient protection.

  • Designed for rugged conditions, the PT12 delivers accurate pressure and temperature
  • SDI-12 v1.3 interface
  • Modbus® RTU interface
  • Optional U.S.G.S. OSW accuracy enhanced calibration on the 15 PSIG unit.
