The SX-10506 Xwire peripheral board interfaces a pressure sensor to a SPLat controller. As the sensors are dual port, they can measure positive pressures, vacuum and pressure differential. Typical applications would include water level sensing, clogged filter detection, air pressure regulation etc. The particular pressure sensor type used allows for different pressure ranges of:
| Sensor Type Number | Pressure Range |
|---|---|
| MPX5010DP | 0 - 1.45 PSI, 0 - 10kPa, 1 metre H20 |
| MPX5050DP | 0 - 7.25 PSI, 0 - 50kPa, 5 metres H20 |
| MPX5100DP | 0 - 14.5 PSI, 0 - 100kPa, 10 metres H20 |
| MPX5500DP | 0 - 72.5 PSI, 0 - 500kPa |
| MPX5700DP | 0 - 101.5 PSI, 0 - 700kPa |
The SX-10506 is normally supplied with an MPX5100DP sensor, unless otherwise specified. Other types may incur a lead time.
