Barometric Pressure Sensors

Barometric pressure sensors measure atmospheric pressure, a key parameter in any weather station. Our range includes high-accuracy electronic barometers with voltage, current and serial outputs, suitable for remote sites running on battery or solar power, plus a pressure port that minimizes wind-induced errors outdoors.


Model 61402V Barometric Pressure sensor

R.M. Young
MODEL 61402V Barometric Pressure Sensor is a versatile electronic barometer featuring high accuracy, low power, wide operating temperature range, and calibrated voltage output or RS-232 serial data I/O. Low power consumption and wide temperature range make the 61402V ideal for remote applications using battery or solar power.Model 61402L features a standard 4-20 mA output or user selectable serial interfaces SDI-12, RS-232, RS-485. The compact size of the barometer allows easy placement in most standard instrument enclosures. A plug-in connector simplifies wiring. For outdoor use, an optional Weatherproof Enclosure offers a convenient mounting location while the Pressure Port helps minimize dynamic pressure errors due to wind.

Model 61205V Barometric Pressure sensor

R.M. Young
The Model 61205V Barometric Pressure Sensor is a versatile electronic barometer featuring high accuracy, low power, wide operating temperature range and calibrated voltage outputs. Low power consumption and wide temperature range make the 61205V ideal for remote applications using battery or solar power. The accuracy, which is better than ±0.5 hPa (mbar), is maintained over the entire pressure and temperature ranges. Standard pressure scale for analog outputs spans 600 to 1100 hPa (mbar). Narrower ranges may be selected via software menu. The 61205V is designed for mounting in a weather proof enclosure. Mounting holes on the case allow for panel mounting with holes 1 inch on centre. The Model 61205V barometer requires no regular maintenance. Periodic calibration certification, if required, is available from the factory.
Pressure Range600 to 1100 hPa standard range

Accuracy±0.5 hPa (mbar) at -50 to +60°C
Update rate2 seconds
Analog Outputs0 to 2500 mV Standard range 600 to 1100 hPa (mbar) Other ranges user settable
Analog Resolution0.1 hPa (mbar)
Power7 to 30 VDC at 9 mA

Model 61202V & 61202L Barometric Pressure sensor

R.M. Young
The New Model 61202 Barometric Pressure Sensor offers unparalleled performance and flexibility for atmospheric pressure measurement. The barometer is available in two configurations to satisfy a variety of applications; Model 61202V offers 0-5 VDC output, 61202L offers a 4-20 mA current output. Both models offer serial output in addition to the analog signal. The barometer is housed in a weatherproof molded case. Cable connections are inside. A U-bolt mounting is supplied for easy attachment to towers and masts. For outdoor installation, use of Model 61002 Pressure Port is recommended. The Pressure Port minimizes dynamic pressure errors due to wind.
