4 July 2006 --Inertial Aerosystems announce the availability of a new range of barometric pressure transducers designed primarily for Automatic Weather Observing systems (AWOS). Manufactured by the Honeywell Solid State Electronics Centre, these devices meet the stringent requirements of the US FAA advisory circular 150/5220-16C, which is the accepted criteria for airports world-wide. Designated the HPB/A and PPT range these innovative products and cost effective combine proven MEMS silicon sensor technology with microprocessor signal conditioning to eliminate the need to insulate or temperature-regulate the barometer.
The AWOS requirements for a barometric pressure transducer include: two barometers per AWOS system, pressure range 17.58-31.53 inchesHg with a maximum error of .02 inHg, resolution 0.001 inHg increments, maximum drift with time 0.01 inHg over 6 months and temperature range (class 2 outdoors) -55 to +55C Available in a compact rugged package these products have many programmable features and RS232, RS485 or TTL outputs.
An optional, external, digital display is available.
