Pressure Sensor 4017

Pressure Sensor 4017 is a compact fully integrated
sensor for measuring the pressure level and the water
temperature. The sensor is designed to be mounted
directly on the top-end plate of RCM 9/11,RDCP or via
cable to AADI Data logger using SR10. The sensor can
also be used as stand alone sensor using RS-232. The
sensor is easily integrated in other measurement systems
with third party data loggers.

Features Pressure Sensor 4017 :
•t Smart sensor technology - plug and play
•t Calibration coefficients are stored in the sensor
•t Low maintenance needs
•t Low current drain
•t Depth rating of 6000 meterst
•t Direct readout of engineering data
•t Output parameters: Pressure, Temperature
•t Selectable interval from 1 second to 255 minutes
•t Rugged and robust with low maintenance needs
•t Output formats: SR10, RS-232
•t Up to 60MPa range
•t Configured using Pressure setup program 4047 (or via
Hyper Terminal

In most measuring system used in the sea, pressure is a
vital parameter. For moored instruments the pressure can be
used for determining the actual depth of the instrument. For
instrumentation on the seabed the pressure can be used for
deriving water level. The pressure is also vital when deriving
other parameters as density and speed of sound.
The Pressure Sensor 4017 is a compact yet intelligent sensor
designed to be used on our RCM 9, RCM 11, RDCP or AADI
Data loggers as well as in other measuring systems. The
sensor is based on a silicon piezoresistive bridge sampled
and temperature compensated by an advanced Digital Signal
Processor. The sensor is housed in a rugged titanium cylinder.
Since all calibration and temperature compensation data
are stored inside, the pressure can be presented directly in
engineering units without any external calculation.
Two SR10 channels are available; one for Pressure and one

for Temperature. The user may configure the range on both
outputs; best accuracy is achieved with a short measurement
range.
The sensor can be mounted directly to the top end plate
of Aanderaa Acoustic Current Meters and Profilers and
connected to the Main Control Board (Electronic Board)
with a short cable, Sensor Cable 3854.
The 10-pin receptacle in the sensor foot mates with Aanderaa
CSP (Cylindrical Sealing Plug), giving access to RS-232
output. For connection to a PC the 1 meter Sensor Cable
4865L can be used. It is furnished with a watertight 10-pin
CSP plug at the sensor end. An additional USB plug is used
for providing power to the sensor.
The 4865 is also available in other cable lenght up to 20
meter.
