Key Features

1. Ultra-Precise Sensing:
   • Utilizes high-resolution MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) or piezoelectric sensing elements (variant-dependent) to measure parameters such as pressure, vibration, or temperature with micro-scale accuracy.
   • Adaptive calibration algorithms ensure stability over extended operation periods.
2. Robust Industrial Design:
   • Encased in stainless steel or IP67/IP69K-rated housing for resistance to dust, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical shock.
   • Operates in extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C) and high-vibration environments.
3. Smart Connectivity:
   • Supports 4–20 mA analog output, RS-485 Modbus, and EtherNet/IP for seamless integration into industrial control systems.
   • Optional IoT-ready wireless modules (LoRaWAN, Zigbee) for remote monitoring in smart factories or distributed energy grids.
4. Built-In Diagnostics:
   • Self-diagnostic functions detect sensor degradation, overloads, or environmental interference, triggering alerts via LED status indicators or digital signals.
   • Predictive maintenance compatibility via compatibility with SCADA, PLC, or cloud platforms.
5. Energy Efficiency:
   • Low-power circuitry minimizes energy consumption, suitable for battery-operated or energy-sensitive deployments.
