Setra System Model 524 - Manual (Page 3)

Please Note : The 524 series is designed and manufactured in accordance with sound engineering
practice as defined by the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC. This product must not be used as a
“safety accessory” as defined by the Pressure Equipment Directive, Article 1, Paragraph 2.1.3. The CE
Mark on the unit does not relate to the Pressure Equipment Directive.
INTRODUCTION
The Series 524 pressure transducers use high output strain gauges to provide 100mV output for full
range pressure, when used with a 10V d.c. power supply.
Series 524 high output pressure transducers are fitted with a hybrid amplifier providing various optional
(at time of order) voltage outputs, and a 4-20mA current output capable of being used in control and
indicating loops without further amplification.
Series 524 with the CE Mark conform with the essential protection requirements of the EMC Directive
89/33/EEC amended by certified type testing to EN 50082-2 and EN 50081-1.
HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS
