BPS-800 – Barometric Pressure Sensor


Absolute Accuracy – Triple Verified

The BPS-800 is more than just a barometric pressure sensor – it’s a triple-redundant electronic barometer .
Housed in a compact enclosure, three fully integrated pressure sensing elements operate in parallel. Their data is internally processed, cross-validated, and averaged to deliver stable, reliable readings with high reproducibility – even under extreme environmental conditions.

Advantages of the Triple-Sensor Architecture

  • Redundancy and plausibility checks: Internal cross-verification of sensor data protects against measurement deviations.
  • Averaging for long-term stability: Compensates for aging effects and environmental interference.
  • Measurement reliability in extreme conditions: Ideal for exposed locations or long-term installations.

Calibrated at the Origin of Physics

Each BPS-800 is not simply software-corrected or factory-standard aligned – it is calibrated using an electronic mercury barometer, the gold standard of physical pressure reference systems.
A total of 32 individual pressure points per sensor (96 per unit) are checked and adjusted.

Where other manufacturers cut corners, we define this level of calibration as our standard.

Top-Level Energy Efficiency

The BPS-800 is designed for autonomous systems:

  • <20 µA in sleep mode
  • 3 mA during continuous measurement
  • Dynamic power-saving modes automatically detect operation type (polling vs. streaming)

This makes the sensor ideal for:

  • Solar-powered weather stations
  • Environmental monitoring systems in the field
  • Battery-powered long-term applications

Full Connectivity – Industrial Interfaces for Every Application

The BPS-800 includes four digital interfaces that support all common industrial protocols.
This ensures seamless integration into existing systems – whether in weather stations, environmental monitoring networks, or mobile research platforms.

Available Interfaces:

  • RS-485
    Up to 115,200 baud
    Supports Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, and ASCII stream
    Ideal for long cable runs, bus systems, and industrial use
  • RS-232
    Also up to 115,200 baud
    Same protocols as RS-485
    Simple point-to-point communication, e.g. with data loggers
  • SDI-12
    Also supports ASCII output
    Compatible with standard environmental networks
  • USB-C (CDC / Virtual COM Port)
    For configuration and live readout
    Supports data streaming and batch logging to a PC
    User-friendly – no special interface required

Additional Features

  • ESD protection up to 15 kV on all data lines – perfect for field deployment
  • Customizable output intervals: from 1 second to 24 hours
  • Persistent settings – all configurations remain saved even after power loss
  • ASCII streaming mode: continuous data output – ideal for live data capture
