That silver housing is actually formed, heavy gauge stainless steel, fully sealed to meet NEMA4 and IP66. Electronics are cushioned by a shock absorbing mounting, and the large (16.5 mm, 0.65″) high contrast display is reinforced against damage.Pressure is displayed in up to 9 different pressure scales (PSI, kPa, etc.), on one of the easiest to read, full five digit, liquid crystal display, and there’s a peak capture function. The XP2 is so simple to use it doesn’t need or use configuration menus. All XP2s have a built-in RS232 interface, and they’re available in rear port and panel mounted versions. Although battery life is 1500 hours, XP2s can also be run from external power.Our hallmark is performance, and the XP2 is no excep- tion. It’s rated at 0.1% of reading, from 20% to 100% of the rated range. 300 PSI ranges and lower are compound, and are rated to measure vacuum, too. That means any XP2can replace several “of scale” rated test and/or digital gauges! And they’re ful ly temperature compensated – the specs are not derated for any temperature between -10°C (14°F) and +50°C (+122°F)!With all these features, you may be surprised that the XP2 costs less than you might expect - around the same as other digital gauges, making it an exceptional value.
