DVS205 Dual-Variable Sensor 
The DVS205 Dual-Variable Sensor (DVS) provides 
static pressure and differential pressure inputs to a 
FloBoss™ 103, FloBoss 107E, or FloBoss 500-Series 
Flow Manager. The DVS205 communicates via a 
serial format with the FloBoss. 
Variables 
Functionally, the DVS is a digital transmitter that 
measures two flow-related variables simultaneously: 
differential pressure and static pressure. These 
variables are continuously available to the FloBoss 
unit that polls the DVS.  
Transducer and Electronics 
The DVS contains a transducer and an electronics 
circuit. The transducer uses capacitance-cell 
technology to sense differential pressure and 
piezoresistive technology to sense the static 
(absolute or gauge) pressure. 
The transducer electronics convert the pressure 
variables directly into a digital format, allowing
accurate correction and compensation. A 
microprocessor linearizes and corrects the raw 
pressure signals (from the sensor) using 
characterization data stored in non-volatile memory. 
The electronics also allow the DVS to communicate 
with a FloBoss using a Serial Peripheral Interface 
(SPI).  
Accuracy 
Two versions of the DVS transmitter are available: 
ƒ  DVS205P with reference accuracy of 0.075% of 
the full span.  
ƒ  DVS205E with reference accuracy of 0.10% of 
the full span.  
Mounting  
The DVS is factory installed on a FloBoss™ 103, 
FloBoss 107E, or FloBoss 500-Series Flow Manager 
to comply with agency requirements. Attached to the 
bottom of the sensor body is a Coplanar™ flange. 
This flange allows the DVS to mount on an integral 
orifice assembly or manifold valve.
