IFM PM1504 Flush Pressure Sensor -1-10bar 4-20mA IO-Link IP69K Hygienic

Overview
The IFM PM1504 (PM-010-REA12-A-ZVG/US) is a high‑precision flush pressure sensor with an overload‑resistant ceramic‑capacitive measuring cell, designed for hygienic applications in the food and beverage industry. With a measuring range of -1…10 bar (-14.5…145 psi / -0.1…1 MPa), this relative pressure and vacuum sensor provides reliable pressure monitoring in viscous media, liquids with suspended particles, and gases — even in environments exposed to aggressive cleaning agents or extreme temperature fluctuations.

The sensor combines a scalable analogue output (4…20 mA) with integrated IO‑Link V1.1 communication (COM2, 38.4 kBaud) for remote parameterisation, process data readout, and extended diagnostics. Housed in a robust stainless steel (316L) body with gold‑plated contacts and a G 1/2 external thread sealing cone process connection, the PM1504 is flush mountable for the food and beverage industry. Rated IP67, IP68, and IP69K, the sensor withstands high‑pressure washdowns and CIP/SIP cleaning processes. With integrated temperature monitoring via IO‑Link (-25…150 °C), high accuracy (repeatability < ±0.1 %), and a pressure rating of 75 bar (min. bursting pressure 175 bar), the PM1504 delivers long‑term stability and reliability in demanding hygienic applications.
