ABB 261GC 261GCLRAEFSS21 Gauge and Absolute transmitters with direct mount seal

General description

For the transmitters 261Gx and 261Ax, process connections with flush diaphragms are available in a variety of designs

and dimensions to meet the requirements of a wide range of sectors, including industries such as oil and gas, paper,

chemicals, food and pharmaceuticals.

NOTE

The measuring range lower limit (LRL) for model 261A is 0 absolute for all measuring ranges. Special filling fluids are available for applications with high

temperatures. For hygienic applications or use in the food industry, select filling fluids that are classified by the US Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) as safe for use with food.

Span limits

Maximum span = measuring range upper limit (URL)

To optimize performance characteristics, it is

recommended that you select the transmitter sensor code

with the lowest turn down ratio.

TURNDOWN = Upper range limit/set span

Damping

Configurable time constant between 0 and 60 s.

This is in addition to the sensor response time, and can be

adjusted via the optional LCD indicator, handheld

terminal, or PC user interface.

Warm-up time

Ready for operation as per specifications in less than 10 s

with minimum damping.

Insulation resistance

>100 MΩ at 500 V DC (between terminals and ground)

Zero suppression and elevation

The zero position and span can be set to any value within

the measuring range limits listed in the table if:

— Set span ≥ minimum span
