DESCRIPTION
The Ares is a small, low cost pressure transducer, which is able to measure pressures as low as 0-5
inches of water and as high as 0-1 psi. Sensitivity to extremely low pressures combined with the small physical
size make this device ideally suited for application such as HVAC, medical equipment, and flow monitoring. The
GA100 series has a 4V span from 0.50V to 4.50V and the GA200 series has a 3.75V span from 0.25-4.00 V.
The plastic housing design for the Ares Series makes the device very user friendly. The housing is
designed to be printed circuit board mountable, requiring no additional hardware. Built into the housing are self
locking pins which insure a secure fit between the housing and the PCB. The pressure ports are 3/16" barbed
ports which mate with industry standard 1/8" or 3/16" ID tubing. These ports are mounted 90° to the printed
circuit board to allow other boards to be located above the sensor.
The Ares utilizes a unique sensor circuit design to provide ASIC digital error correction and signal
amplification while maintaining an analog signal path. This technique delivers the high level of error correction
associated with microprocessor-based circuits, while maintaining a typical bandwidth of >1 kHz generally found
only in analog circuits. The result is a pressure sensor that offers the ultimate in low cost and high accuracy,
while preserving the fast response and smooth output inherent to silicon sensors.
Due to its small size, barbed pressure ports, and solder re-flow capability, the Ares pressure transducer
is ideally suited for a wide range of applications.
