OPTIBAR PSM 1010

Electronic pressure switch for basic pressure and level applications – compact, reliable and fully configurable for diverse process needs.
OPTIBAR PSM 1010

Overview

The OPTIBAR PSM 1010 is an electronic pressure switch designed for absolute and gauge pressure measurement of liquids and gases. Its ultra-compact form factor makes it a cost-effective choice for simple applications such as monitoring pumps, compressors, and other machinery, as well as hydrostatic level detection in open tanks where installation space is limited. The fully welded stainless steel diaphragm ensures corrosion resistance, even in aggressive media, while digital compensation guarantees outstanding temperature stability.

This switch combines transmitter functionality with multiple output options in one configuration. Standard I/O includes PNP/PNP switching and IO-Link, with selectable secondary outputs such as analogue 4…20 mA, 0…10 V, or PNP/NPN. IO-Link communication enables easy device configuration, advanced diagnostics, and predictive maintenance through process data, operating hour counters, and pressure spike monitoring.

  • Outstanding temperature and static pressure stability even under harsh conditions
  • Unique 3D linearisation of transmitter: compensation for all influencing factors at virtually all possible combinations
  • Very good repeatability and long-term stability of the measuring signal
  • Integrated absolute pressure measurement for lowest possible influence of static pressure changes on the signal while providing an additional process signal
  • Very quick step response times <125 ms
  • Combined DP, SP and T measurements for maximum process security
  • Compact measuring cell with low weight
  • Turndown ratio up to 100:1, higher upon request
  • Extensive diagnostic and parameterization functions on the display and adjustment module or the user-friendly and free DTMs
  • Wireless device commissioning, verification and monitoring with the OPTICHECK Pressure Mobile app
  • Ex ia, Ex d, Ex t approvals
  • SIL 2/3
  • Chemical, petrochemical, power generation, food and beverage, water and other industries
  • Pressure monitoring of filters and pumps with overload protection of up to 160 bar / 2320 psi
  • Level measurement of liquids in pressurised vessels
  • Flow measurement of gases, vapours and liquids with primary elements
  • Measurement of density and separating layers of liquids in tanks
