They also come with an I2C digital or analog output and have configurable ports and custom calibration available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical applications for these devices include use in commercial or industrial HVAC systems for filter monitoring, or in medical equipment, such as low\/medium risk devices, excluding life-saving or life-critical apparatus, but including patient monitoring equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low differential and gauge calibration pressure sensors are also available for CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) equipment or spirometers, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BPS130 sensor is squarely targeted at high temperature and certain harsh media environments and is designed for medium pressure ranges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device delivers a 2.5% TEB across and up to the extremes of the \u201340 to +150\u00b0C temperature range. The BPS130 sensor is also available with custom enclosure configurations and custom calibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical applications include process control; commercial and industrial HVAC equipment; in consumer markets for white goods and other appliances; and in heavy equipment industries, such as in fuel or transmission fluid systems, or EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bourns BPS sensors are now shipping from RS in EMEA, Asia Pacific and North America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RS Components has announced availability of the Bourns Precision Sensor (BPS) portfolio, which offers a highly dependable range of pressure and humidity sensors for measuring relative humidity and other environmental conditions.
