IWPT Pressure Transmitter Specifications
The IWPT Wireless Pressure Transducer offers an economical alternative to conventional wired pressure transducers. It provides the benefits of low-cost installation, even in locations that are difficult or expensive to access.
This instrument can be effortlessly paired with any device from the IWR receiver range, providing a seamless “plug and play” solution for pressure measurement needs. Constructed with a piezo-resistive ceramic sensor encased in 316 stainless steel housing, it ensures superb media compatibility for even the most demanding applications.
For added convenience, a swivel adapter (IWPT-SA) is available, enabling easy alignment of the head to the IWR receiver. The IWPT sensor is compatible with the entire range of IWR receivers.
With a line-of-sight range extending up to 500 meters, the performance may vary based on the specific wireless receiver chosen. Please refer to individual receiver data sheets for more detailed information.
Every IWPT device is temperature compensated, carefully calibrated, and comes with a traceable serial number, ensuring accuracy and reliability in all conditions.

Applications
The IWPT Wireless Pressure Transmitter is ideal for simple cable replacement installations, allowing users to eliminate the need for costly and complex cable runs. This makes it especially useful in environments where running cables is impractical, expensive, or disruptive, such as in retrofit projects or remote locations.
In environmental monitoring, the transmitter is well-suited for use in pumping stations, sewage plants, and water treatment facilities. Its wireless capability enables reliable pressure monitoring in areas that are often wet, hazardous, or difficult to access, ensuring continuous data collection without the maintenance challenges associated with wired systems.
For facilities management, the device can be deployed in boiler rooms, plant hydraulics, and plant pneumatics. It provides real-time pressure data that helps facility managers maintain safe and efficient operation of critical systems, while the wireless design simplifies installation and reduces downtime during upgrades or maintenance.
Asset monitoring is another key application, with the transmitter being used in tank farms, process plants, HVAC systems, and building management. By wirelessly tracking pressure in these assets, operators can optimize performance, detect issues early, and reduce the risk of costly failures, all while benefiting from the flexibility of wireless deployment.
The IWPT is valuable for service contracts, where it can be temporarily installed for servicing and field trials. Its wireless nature allows for quick setup and removal, making it perfect for short-term monitoring projects, troubleshooting, or validating system performance without the need for permanent infrastructure changes.
