The IFM PL5412 is a flush pressure transmitter designed for reliable relative pressure measurement in demanding industrial and mobile applications. It provides a 0 to 160 bar measuring range with a precise 4 to 20 mA analogue output for direct integration with PLCs and control systems. Its thin-film measuring cell with diaphragm seal technology is suitable for liquids, gases, viscous media and liquids containing suspended particles. The compact stainless-steel housing offers high resistance to shock, vibration and harsh operating conditions. With IP67 and IP69K protection, the PL5412 delivers dependable pressure measurement where space is limited and robust construction is required.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The PL5412 is designed as a flush pressure transmitter for industrial applications where the measuring element needs to be positioned close to the process medium. Its thin-film measuring cell uses diaphragm seal technology to support reliable pressure detection in different types of industrial media. The transmitter measures relative pressure over a 0 to 160 bar range and provides a linear 4 to 20 mA output signal. This configuration makes the device suitable for continuous pressure monitoring and integration into automated control systems. The flush-mount design is particularly useful for compact machinery and installations with restricted mounting space.
The PL5412 supports a measuring range of 0 to 160 bar, 0 to 2320 psi and 0 to 16 MPa, allowing it to handle high-pressure industrial applications. It has a static pressure rating of 400 bar and a minimum bursting pressure of 1100 bar, providing substantial pressure resistance. The transmitter also offers vacuum resistance down to -1000 mbar, extending its suitability to systems where pressure conditions can vary significantly. Repeatability is specified at less than ±0.05 % of span, while linearity deviation is less than ±0.1 % BFSL or ±0.2 % LS.
The transmitter uses a compact cylindrical housing manufactured from stainless steel 630/17-4 PH, stainless steel 316L and PEI materials. Wetted components are made from stainless steel and FKM, helping the device withstand demanding industrial media. The PL5412 operates in ambient temperatures from -25 to 90 °C, while the medium temperature range is -20 to 90 °C. IP67 and IP69K protection provides resistance against dust, water and high-pressure cleaning environments. Its resistance to 50 g shock and 20 g vibration from 10 to 2000 Hz makes it appropriate for machinery and mobile applications.
The PL5412 operates from an 8.5 to 36 V DC supply and provides one 4 to 20 mA analogue current output. Its M12 A-coded connector offers a standardized electrical interface for industrial automation systems. Reverse polarity, short-circuit and overload protection improve operational reliability during installation and operation. The analogue output has a step response time of approximately 2 ms, allowing pressure changes to be transmitted rapidly to connected controllers. The transmitter can therefore be integrated with PLC analogue input modules, process controllers, monitoring equipment and industrial data acquisition systems.
