Amphenol Advanced Sensors NovaSensor FMA Series FAR Sensors
Amphenol Advanced Sensors NovaSensor FMA Series Filtration Air Restriction (FAR) Sensors offer a compact, active-technology sensor for detecting pressure drops across air filters. These devices monitor airflow resistance by providing a proportional analog voltage that corresponds to differential pressure. The design includes a hydrophobic reference port, a 1/8-27 NPT female pressure port, and a sealed AMPSEAL 16 connector for reliable operation. These sensors feature built-in diagnostics, temperature compensation, and a typical response time of less than 2 ms. They operate within a temperature range from -40°C to +125°C with ±2.5% FS accuracy. The FMA series is ideal for engine air filtration, HVAC monitoring, and industrial filter applications.
