The Series 10 pressure transducers cover all pressure ranges from 100 mbar to 1000 bar. They have been produced for over 30 years and are the premium product of the KELLER OEM-line. They are delivered with engraved serial number and electrical leadouts. Several millions of these pressure transducers are in use world-wide in a variety of different applications. Main ields of application are: Level technology, pneumatics, hydraulics, avionics. A high-sensitivity piezoresistive silicon chip is used for pressure sensing. The chip is protected against ambient inluences by a stainless steel housing sealed with a concentrically corrugated diaphragm. The housing is illed with silicone oil so as to ensure the transfer of the pressure from
the diaphragm to the sensing component. All metal parts in contact with the pressure media are made of stainless steel 316 L. The fully welded housing is vacuum-tight. A Rugged Pressure Transduce. The piezoresistive chip immersed in silicone oil is welded into a housing made of stainless steel 316 L.
High Sensitivity
A nominal signal of 200 mV is obtained at a supply current of 1 mA for the standard pressure ranges above 2 bar.
Flexibility
Versio
The KELLER Series 10 sensor is mounted with the compensation resistors in a stainless steel housing. The sensor floats on an O-ring seal and is therefore free of any housing stresses. It is particularly suited in connection with PAP-based signal processing. Transducers can be ordered with the coefficients of a mathematical model ready for integration with a PAP-base
system. Error Bands of 0,1%°≠0,01 %FS are achievable, depending on the temperature ranges Whilst the Series 11 fulfils all the classical functions expected of a mV-transducer, it is often used in development of larger OEM projects to test the performance of the KELLER OEM sensors. As a special order, any OEM sensor from Series 3 to 10 can be ordered in such a housing, with or without integrated compensation resistors. The customer can then verify that the chosen OEM sensor is suitable for the application.

Watercooled pressure transducers are used for accurate static and dynamic measurements in fluids upto 350 !aC. The sensor, an integrated silicon cell with four diffused strain gauge resistors, is locatedin the watercooled section of the oil-filled body. The oil transmits the pressure from the flush steel diaphragm to the sensor, isolating it from the temperature of the media. This allows very accurate pressure measurements over a wide temperature range without influencing the pressure or flow conditions. Originally developed for blow down tests on water-cooled reactors, these transducers find manyapplications in high temperature chemical reactions and engine tests.

The TAB 1 pressure measuring cells are designed to measure absolute pressures. They are
offered in two different version: Version 1 to be soldered on a glass feed through and welded
in an oil filled housing as for industrial transmitters. Version 2 can be soldered directly on
printed circuit boards of instruments as for the measurement of depths or altitude, where the
surrounding pressure is measured.
TAB (Tape Automated Bonding) is a special process for contacting the diffused resistors on
the chip. The resistor aluminum contacts are provided with 0,1 mm thick gold bumps. The
pretinned ends of the copper strips on the flexible circuit material are soldered to the these
goldbumps. Each contact is able to withstand a force of more than 1 Newton. TAB bonded
cells withstand extreme conditions in shock or vibration. TAB bonded cells may be surrounded
by high viscosity gels or mouldings in water depth instruments without danger of contact
braking as with wire bonded cell.

The pressure sensors Series 2, 3 and 4 are suited for direct-mounting on printed circuit boards. The pressure sensor is a piezoresistive measuring cell consisting of a glass back plate and the silicon chip with the diffused resistor bridge. The cell is mounted on a glass feed through and packaged in a housing for easy pressure connection. The high, stable and reliable output signal of the sensor can easily be conditioned with standard ampliiers. All sensors are tested for temperature, stability and linearity and are delivered with an individual calibration sheet.
Series 2
The medium is acting directly on the silicon chip and comes into contact with the strain gauges of the Wheatstone bridge. Application in dry air only.
Series 3
The sensor is mounted in an aluminium housing. Housing and sensor are protected by a thin (7 |ìm) parylene layer. This layer grants full protection in applications where condensation may occur. Continuous water exposure is not recommended. The average time of water resistance of the parylene layer is 6 months.

These piezoresistive pressure transmitter-heads are produced on the new KELLER automatic brazing lines, making possible the mass production of high quality pressure transmitters at low cost. This new technology allows the crevice-free construction of the pressure port without using seals or O-rings. In the brass sensor line (Series 6 MC), a steel insert and a nickel dia-
phragm are brazed into a brass housing. In the steel version (Series 6 S, Series 6 SC), all parts are of stainless steel (AISI 316 L). The header with the silicon pressure sensor and the glass feed-through pins are welded to the steel insert underneath the oil filling.

The Series 7S / 9S is the latest development in media isolated piezoresistive silicon chip pressure transducers. The new low mass one-piece housing is smaller with a brazed stainless steel diaphragm for lower production cost, giving excellent long-term stability combined with easy installation. The Series 7S / 9S can be installed into a housing using an O-ring seal, or it can be welded. Welding should only be made to the lange at the rear of the transducer. Performance speciications will remain unaffected by the proper installation. The O-ring seal may be itted directly below the lange, or as a peripheral seal at the front face of the transducer. The rear lange can be modiied or machined off completely where space is important. The thin lange and outer capsule wall ensure that mechanical mounting stresses are not transmitted into the measuring cell. The structure also has good thermal conductance and the sensor closely tracks the process media temperature The Series 7 S / 9 S transducers are constructed from 316L stainless steel, using a high temperature hydrogen brazing technique; the brazed 316L diaphragms are highly resistant to corrosion.

Technology
KELLER grew up in the 1970s with OEM pressure transducers. Now the company has not only outstanding know-how in design, connection and housing technology at it disposal. After many years of experience in digital signal processing, KELLER has integrated signal processing and compensation at chip level in a joint, hermetically sealed housing in a top class OEM transmitter in the Series 4 LC to 9 LC. First, the entire transmitter electronics in the transducer housing are hermetically embedded in oil and second, these highly-integrated OEM transmitters represent an ideal pressure transmitter module for integration in higher-order systems due to the selected analogue and digital output signals. Interfaces The ratiometric, analogue output signal makes connecting to an external analogue/digital converter extremely simple: the fact that both systems are in principle referenced to each other means that there is no need to set up an expensive, absolute measuring system.
