SOLID STATE PRESSURE SWITCH AT NEW, LOW PRICE
Added: (Tue Mar 20 2007)
American Sensor Technologies, Inc. announces a significant reduction in the price of its Model 1000 Pressure Switch. Previously priced at $250 for low quantities of 1-9, AST now offers the media isolated pressure switch starting at $195. The new, lower pricing schedule has been applied to all quantity levels.
�This reduction is possible due to AST�s increased manufacturing efficiency,� commented Samuel Franzblau, AST Sales & Marketing Manager. He also stated that lowered price can be attributed to �increased leveraging of buying power with vendors.�
The Model 1000 is a highly repeatable, stainless steel pressure switch designed for the measurement of gases and liquids that are compatible with stainless steel. Its one-piece sensor element is a solid-state design, free of moving parts, internal O-rings, welds and fill fluid, all of which eliminate the chance of process contamination. The switch mechanism includes a pair of isolated relays and is packaged with a high level of EMI/RFI protection (100V/m). AST�s Model 1000 also has a wide operating temperature ranging from -40 to 85̊C (-40 to 185̊F).
The competitively priced pressure switch is offered with factory-set switch point and hysteresis. Units offer switching capability of 1 amp @ 24V DC or 0.5 amps @ 125V AC, max. Open or closed circuits are provided, based on customer�s defined switching point. The sensor is available in switch points between 25 PSI and 10,000 PSI and with high purity finishes.
The heavy-duty relay contacts and high electrical isolation [up to 500VDC] allow this pressure switch to handle a variety of applications. The Model 1000 is ideal for applications that require consistent repeatability, excellent long-term stability, trouble- free operation, long cyclical life and high performance. Ideal applications include: test stands, hydraulic systems, refrigeration, off road, process control, compressors and oil & gas instrumentation.

About AST
AST manufacture state-of-the-art, MEMS-based pressure sensors, transducers and transmitters that offer the best price-performance ratio in the industry. Through the acquisition of noted LVDT manufacturer Macro Sensors (http://www.macrosensors.com/), AST also offers a full line of linear/rotary position sensors, as well as related instrumentation. Common applications of AST sensor products are in industrial OEM, hydraulic systems, fuel cells, medical gases, HVAC/R, refrigeration (ammonia, Freon, CO2), oil & gas exploration and production, and off-road vehicles. By combining exotic metals and AST�s exclusive, proprietary Krystal Bond� Technology (an advanced process in which inorganic materials are molecularly diffused onto a metallic surface in the presence of certain gases) in the manufacture of its pressure sensors, AST can produce high-performance pressure units that support the specialized needs of key niche markets. Many AST products are UL listed as intrinsically safe and certified for explosion-proof required environments.
