PRECISION BAROMETER OFFERS OUTSTANDING VALUE
FOR ACCURACY OVER WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE |
| |
| MINNEAPOLIS,
Minnesota, JANUARY 17, 2001 -
The Honeywell Precision Barometer (HPB) is
introduced today as an outstanding value to
instrument builders that require accurate
and stable barometric measurements in real-world
conditions. Designed with an extremely rugged,
construction, the HPB can operate in severe
humid, vibration, thermal and mechanical shock
environments. Its small size, low weight (5
ounces, 142 gms) and software versatility
allows easy retrofit or design into many new
applications. |
| |
| The
HPB has a pressure range of 500 to 1200hPa
with an accuracy of ± 0.4 hPa maximum
over a wide temperature range of 40 to
85°C. Using TTL digital output, it communicates
at user-configurable update rates and baud
rates as fast as 120 updates/sec and 28.8k,
respectively. |
| |
| For
applications demanding low power, such as
remote meteorological stations and ocean data
buoys, the HPB contains a power control feature
that allows minimal power consumption between
data logging. The HPB software has multiple
user-selectable features such as baud rate/parity
settings, continuous broadcast, ASCII or binary
output, temperature output, deadband/sensitivity,
update rates, pressure units, and many other
features that support a wide range of applications.
|
| |
Another
variation of Honeywell's Pressure Barometer
intended for altimeter applications is the
HPA. It provides the same exceptional value
as the HPB with a pressure range of 0 to 17.6psia,
and an accuracy of
± 0.03% FS maximum
over 40 to 85°C. |
| |
| Typical
applications for the HPB and HPA include general
meteorology, data buoys, altimeters, airborne
measurements and airports. |
|
| To
accommodate computer interface applications,
the HPB and HPA can both be supplied with
a TTL-to-RS232 converter. |

Honeywell
is the world's leading provider of control
technologies for buildings, homes, industry,
space and aviation. The company employs
57,000 people in 95 countries, and had 1998
sales of $8.4 billion.
