Air receivers and compressors - see the pressure without a gauge on the tank
A receiver is a pressure vessel sitting in a corner: it gets a gauge on the top and nobody looks at it until something else fails. A battery sensor on the drain or test port, read from a phone, makes the check something you can do in passing.
Two different jobs
- Leak detection over days — the slow drop from a compressor that cycles more often than it used to. A reading every day catches it; a gauge in the corner does not.
- Process pressure — if a machine needs to know receiver pressure continuously, that is a receiver configuration into the controller, not a phone check.
Range, stated plainly
The standard sensor is 0–500 kPa gauge (0–600 kPa absolute), about 5 bar. Typical workshop receivers run at 7–10 bar, which is above that: for those we specify a different sensor, or the customer uses a pressure reducing station to bring the measurement point into range. We will tell you which of the two applies before quoting.
What it gives you
- 2.4 GHz Bluetooth, no receiver — the phone is the reader. Nothing to mount or power.
- ±2 kPa accuracy, IP67, Ø21 × 16 mm valve-thread mounting.
- CR1632 replaceable, about 1.5 years — changed without re-pairing.
- Readings can be forwarded and recorded from the app, which is the part a gauge cannot do.
What it does not do
It does not certify the vessel, it does not replace the safety valve, and without a receiver it does not alarm. A pressure sensor is a monitoring device, not a safety device.
Specifications (BLE sensor, standard range)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Pressure range (standard) | 0–500 kPa gauge (0–600 kPa absolute) |
| Accuracy | ±2 kPa |
| Ingress protection | IP67 |
| Operating temperature | −20 to +80 °C |
| Battery | CR1632, replaceable, about 1.5 years average life; pairing survives a battery change |
| Radio | 2.4 GHz BLE 5.1, no receiver and no wiring; reading on a phone |
| Above the standard range | A different sensor, or a regulator ahead of the measuring point — stated before quoting |
| Not measured | Flow, temperature of the medium, or load — pressure only |
