The Gauge Transmitter is normally used on dry and pressure neutral locations.
The Gauge Transmitter is available in 4 ranges: 

0 - 3.5 mH

The Absolute Transmitter is typically used if the amplifier is exposed to water, e.g. on open deck.
The Absolute Transmitter is available in 2 ranges: 0 - 20 and 0 - 35 mH

O less than the nominal range because of the atmospheric pressure which must be taken into 

consideration when choosing the transducer.
A transducer with an effective range larger than the tank height should be selected.

Absolute Trans-
ducer

The absolute transducer has no breather pipe, because it refers to 
absolute vacuum. An atmospheric pressure sensor is used to compen-
sate for the atmospheric pressure. The absolute transducer is espe-
cially suitable for open deck applications, where the amplifier box may 
be exposed to flooding.

Gauge Transducer

The gauge transducer is fitted with a breather pipe at the back of the 
diaphragm to compensate for the atmospheric pressure. The breather 
pipe is connected to a vent plug in the amplifier box. The gauge trans-
ducer is suitable for most applications.

High Temperature 
Gauge Transducer

The transducer is mounted with a special high temperature cable and 
designed for heated tanks e.g. HFO tanks, and other applications with 
high tank media temperatures.
