The **M6SPP-DMN-R** is a specific technical configuration for an industrial-grade pressure sensor, typically manufactured by companies like **Measurement Specialties (TE Connectivity)**. It belongs to the **M6000** series, which is designed for heavy-duty industrial and hydraulic applications. --- ## Technical Specifications Breakout Below is the breakdown of the electronic and mechanical characteristics based on the model nomenclature: | Component | Specification | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | M6000 | High-performance industrial pressure transducer. | | **Output Type** | 4-20 mA | A standard 2-wire analog current loop (ideal for long distances). | | **Pressure Range** | 0 - 5000 PSI | Capable of measuring up to 5000 pounds per square inch. | | **Pressure Type** | Sealed Gauge | Measured relative to a sealed internal atmospheric reference. | | **Electrical Conn.** | DIN 43650 | Large square "L-plug" connector (Type A or B). | | **Process Conn.** | 1/4" NPT | Standard American tapered pipe thread for plumbing. | --- ## Key Electronic Features ### 1. The Sensing Element The core of this device uses **Microfused technology**. This involves silicon strain gauges that are pyrolytically fused to a stainless steel diaphragm. * **Benefit:** Eliminates the use of organic epoxies, which can age or creep over time, leading to high long-term stability. ### 2. Signal Conditioning The internal circuitry converts the raw millivolt signal from the strain gauge into a stabilized **4-20 mA** output. * **Noise Immunity:** The current loop is highly resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI). * **Protection:** Most units include reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection on the output. ### 3. Wiring Diagram (Standard DIN) For a 4-20 mA (2-wire) configuration, the wiring typically follows this logic: ```text Pin 1: Positive Supply (+) [Usually 9-30 VDC] Pin 2: Output / Return (-) [Signal loop] Pin 3: Not Connected / Ground Earth: Case Ground ``` --- ## Environmental & Physical Durability * **Material:** The wetted parts are usually made from **17-4 PH stainless steel**, making it compatible with water, oil, and non-corrosive gases. * **Protection Rating:** When properly mated with the DIN connector, the unit typically achieves an **IP65** rating (dust-tight and protected against water jets). ---
