in the connecting cable.
The hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column acts on the diaphragm of the sensor and transmits the pressure to the
Wheatstone resistance bridge in the sensor.
The output voltage signal of the sensor is fed to the electronics, where it is converted into an output current signal of 4 mA to
20 mA.
