The IFM PT5494 is a compact pressure transmitter designed for industrial pressure measurement across a range of -1 to 10 bar. It supports both relative pressure and vacuum measurement, making it suitable for a wider variety of industrial applications. The transmitter provides a 4 to 20 mA analogue output for easy connection to PLCs, controllers and monitoring systems. Its stainless-steel construction and compact design allow installation in space-restricted machinery. IP67 and IP69K protection provide dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The PT5494 measures pressures from -1 to 10 bar, providing capability for both positive pressure and vacuum-related applications. Its 4 to 20 mA analogue output provides a standardized signal for industrial control and monitoring systems. The transmitter has a characteristic deviation below ±0.5% of span and repeatability below ±0.05% of span. Linearity deviation is specified below ±0.1% BFSL, supporting stable pressure measurement. Its fast 1 ms analogue response time allows the transmitter to respond quickly to changing pressure conditions.
The PT5494 has a compact cylindrical housing with approximately 19 mm diameter and 66 mm overall length. Its wetted parts use stainless steel 17-4 PH / 630 for mechanical strength and reliable industrial service. The housing combines stainless steel and PEI materials to support operation in demanding environments. IP67 and IP69K protection provide resistance against dust, water and high-pressure cleaning. The transmitter is designed to withstand 60 million minimum pressure cycles at 1.2 times nominal pressure.
The PT5494 operates from 8.5 to 36 V DC and provides a single 4 to 20 mA analogue output. The output is compatible with standard industrial PLCs, controllers and process monitoring equipment. Reverse-polarity, short-circuit and overload protection help improve electrical reliability. The transmitter uses an M12 A-coded connector for secure industrial wiring. Its maximum load can reach 720 Ω at a 24 V DC supply, providing flexible integration into control systems.
