GE General Eastern Surge Dampener

The GE General eastern surge dampener, when used with Modus capacitive pressure transmitters, absorbs rapid pressure fluctuations in high or low pressure lines and steadies the output signal. Each surge damper has two independent channels.

Typical applications are smoothing out airflow signals and room pressure signals which may vary suddenly when doors are opened or closed. The use of a surge dampener is recommended when pressure is displayed on a digital panel meter and the least significant digit must be stabilized.

For best performance, both the high and low pressure ports of the transmitter should be connected to the surge damper. The dampening effect may be increased by increasing the length of tubing between the measuring instrument and the surge dampener.

Each surge dampener includes a kit consisting of 3 different types of barb fittings to accommodate tubing ranging from 1/8" to 7/32" I.D. (3 to 6 mm I.D.), and a #10x1" lg. sheet metal screw for installation on a wall, if desired. This surge dampener is easily installed.
