VEGABAR 38 Pressure Transmitter for Measuring Gases, Vapors, and Liquids up to 130 °C

VEGABAR 38 is a universal pressure transmitter with a ceramic measuring cell that can measure gases, vapors, and liquids up to 130 °C. The optional universal connection for hygienic adapters means leaner stock keeping and minimized installation effort. The sensor display has an on-site operation and a colored 360° status display.

VEGABAR 38’s application area includes:

  • From thread ½"
  • Universal connection G1" for hygiene adapter
  • hygienic connections
  • 4–20 mA
  • Three-wire: PNP/NPN
  • 4–20 mA
  • IO-Link
  • Ex and hygiene approval
  • On-site display
  • Colored 360° status display
  • Three-button operation
