Description:
The Fireye PXMS-15K Steam Pressure Sensor is a pressure transmitter engineered for precise measurement of steam pressure in industrial applications. Part of the PXMS-K Series, this sensor utilizes advanced piezoresistive technology to ensure accurate and reliable pressure readings. The PXMS-15K model measures pressures up to 15 psi (1 bar) and provides a standard 4-20 mA output signal, making it ideal for integration with various control and monitoring systems.
Built with 316L stainless steel wetted parts and housing, the transmitter offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, ensuring durability in harsh and corrosive environments. Its robust design includes a laser-welded stainless steel isolation diaphragm and internal signal conditioning circuitry that minimizes temperature-induced errors, ensuring consistent performance across a wide temperature range. Additionally, the PXMS-15K is highly resistant to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, maintaining reliable operation in environments with high electromagnetic noise. This sensor is perfect for applications requiring precise steam pressure monitoring and control.

Installation Instructions:
-
Install the Fireye PXMS-15K Steam Pressure Sensor in the designated pressure port or steam line using the 1/2” NPT connection.
-
Connect the 4-20 mA output to the appropriate input terminal on the control system.
-
Ensure the sensor is securely mounted and that all connections are leak-free and tight.
-
Verify that the sensor is properly integrated into the system and that the wiring meets operational specifications.
-
Test the system to ensure the sensor is providing accurate steam pressure readings.
Maintenance Instructions:
• Regularly inspect the sensor for dirt, debris, or damage that could affect performance.
• Check the 1/2” NPT connection for wear, corrosion, or leaks.
• Ensure the sensor is securely mounted and free from mechanical strain.
• Perform periodic calibration checks to ensure continued accuracy of pressure readings.
• Replace any damaged components to maintain optimal performance.
Troubleshooting:
• No output signal: Verify that the power supply is functioning and check for loose or disconnected wires.
