• Six industry-standard pressure port types, including a
tube port which provides for hermetically-sealed process
connection
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Industrial: Refrigerant pressure monitoring in HVAC/R
systems; air compressor system pressure
• Transportation: Air system monitoring; hydraulic oil pressure
monitoring
The PX3 Series is not recommended for use with media
involving water, saturated air such as steam and vapor, and
ammonia.
PORTFOLIO
Honeywell’s PX3 Series joins the PX2 Series, MLH Series, and
SPT Series heavy duty pressure transducers.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Total Error Band (TEB) ±1.0 %FSS from -20°C to
85°C: Provides the most comprehensive, clear and
meaningful indication of the sensor’s true measurement
performance over a specified temperature range; small
error promotes system uptime and efficiency. (See Figure 1.)

• High insulation resistance and dielectric strength: Protect
the user and sensor in high over-voltage situations,
and ensures that the device is compliant with industry
standards.
• High EMC performance: Operates reliably in the presence
of electro-magnetic fields, such as near wireless signals, RF
communication, and electrical devices.
• High external freeze/thaw resistance: Survives exposure to
frost, commonly found in refrigeration systems. (See Figure 2.)

Total Error Band: The maximum deviation from the ideal transfer function over the entire compensated temperature and pressure range. Includes all
errors due to offset, full scale span, pressure non-linearity, pressure hysteresis, pressure non-repeatability, thermal effect on offset, thermal effect
on span, and thermal hysteresis. See Figure 1.

Pressure Reference
Absolute
Definition
Output is calibrated to be proportional to the difference between applied pressure and a fixed reference to
perfect vacuum (absolute zero pressure).
Sensor construction is identical to the absolute version with a built in reference at zero pressure in order to
minimize measurement error over temperature. The output is calibrated to be proportional to the difference

Diagnostics Mode
The PX3 Series diagnostics mode allows the device to
indicate when internal or external faults occur. If an internal
fault occurs, the output will rail to the preset lower or upper
limit values shown in Figure 4 and Table 5.
External faults will result in the sensor’s output exceeding
those preset limits (lower or upper). (For example, if the
external sensor ground (signal) were lost, the sensor output
