Digital Test Gauge takes the concept of an analog Test Gauge, and brings it to a new level. The NEW BetaGauge PI PRO combines the accuracy of digital technology with the simplicity of an analog gauge and achieves performance, ease-of- use, and a feature set unmatched in the pressure measurement world.
The BetaGauge PI PRO builds on the proven performance of the BetaGauge PI with a new purpose designed Zinc-Aluminum Alloy High Pressure Cast housing. The new housing improves the environmental integrity of the gauge in a lighter and smaller yet more rugged form factor.
Setup of the BetaGauge PI PRO is fast and straightforward, through a menu-driven display, that is simple enough to allow the gauge to be used anywhere in the world. Ease-of-use, performance, and features set the BetaGauge PI PRO Digital Pressure Test Gauge apart, just as you’ve come to expect from Martel Electronics!
The BetaGauge PI PRO first and foremost, provides 0.05% of full scale accuracy of pressure in any one of seventeen (17) ranges. Readings may be displayed in any one of 18 standard engineering units, or in 1 custom unit you define, to eliminate tedious conversion calculations.
The 5-1/2 digit, 0.65" high digital display and companion percent-ofrange bar graph provide an easy to read display, even from a distance. A number of features provide additional ease of use. The reading sample rate can be user adjusted to match the type of measurement required. A power saving mode maximizes battery life to 2,000 hours. Other features include MIN/MAX function, Auto Power Off and backlight control.
Password-protected field calibration of the BetaGauge PI PRO may be initiated through the keypad. An RS232 port allows pressure reading data to be extracted directly from the gauge for off-line analysis. (Requires Martel RS232 cable (P/N C232SJ).) In addition to a ZERO function that compensates for sensor drift, large residual system pressures can be nulled using the TARE adjustment. This adjustment, when combined with the ability to create custom engineering units for display, allows the BetaGauge PI PRO to be used in a variety of liquid level and volume measurements, easily reading units of interest, such as gallons in a tank, directly. Damping can be set to integrate readings to accommodate pulsating sources, such as plant air. An optional external 24 VDC power input is available for applications where the BetaGauge PI PRO will be permanently incorporated into a process line. A protective rubber boot is standard to help protect the BetaGauge PI from damage when dropped. The BetaGauge PI PRO is available in a self-contained calibration kit, including a hand pressure pump, and associated fittings.
As with the original high accuracy BetaGauge PI PRO gauges, the BetaGauge PIR PRO takes the concept of a simple analog Test Gauge and combines it with the accuracy of digital technology. The new Reference Class gauges provide exceptional performance with ±0.04% of reading accuracy, especially when operated below 50% of their range.
The Reference Class BetaGauge PIR PRO digital test gauges are available in six ranges — 30 psi Compound, 30 psig, 100 psig, 500 psig, 1,000 psig, 3,000 psig, 5,000 psig, and 10,000 psig. Setup of the BetaGauge PIR PRO is fast and straightforward, through a menu-driven display, with minimal text and intuitive functions, that is simple enough to allow the gauge to be used anywhere in the world without the need for multilingual displays. Pressure readings are displayed in any one of 18 standard engineering units, or in userdefined custom units, eliminating tedious conversion calculations. Readings are displayed on a 5-1/2 digit, 0.65” high digital display and companion percent-of-range bar graph. Accuracy is temperature-compensated over a 0 to +50 °C range. The internal temperature sensor measurement can be displayed in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
