Staset® Gen 3 Safety Rated SIL 3 Pressure Switch, Gauge and Transducer from U.E. Precision Sensors

New 3 in 1 Staset, SIL 3 capable safety rated switch with a gauge and transducer

Precision Sensor's released the highly anticipated Staset Gen 3 Series SIL 3 safety rated pressure switch, transducer and gauge. This new 3 in 1 product is available in pressure ranges up to 3000 psi. Staset Gen 3 was designed with versatility in mind. The transducer output can be configured with various voltage output options. The switch output utilizes full analog circuitry and is ISO13849 PLe and IEC61508 SIL 3 capable. The highly readable OLED display indicates sensed pressure and is available for various pressure units. Constructed using 316L stainless steel for all wetted surfaces, Staset Gen 3 offers excellent compatibility with a wide range of media.

Designed for semiconductor fabrication and OEM process equipment, Staset combines the safety of a tamper proof switch, the output of a transducer, and the convenience of a gauge in a reliable, cost effective 1 1/8 diameter package. 

Note: This product is backwards compatible to fit form and function to work in place of the two previous versions.

Staset® Gen 3 Safety Rated SIL 3 Pressure Switch, Gauge and Transducer Q & A

+What does SIL 3 certification mean for pressure devices?
SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) indicates a very high level of risk reduction capability. A SIL 3-certified pressure device is designed to perform reliably in safety-critical applications, significantly lowering the probability of dangerous failure when properly installed and maintained.
+When should I choose a pressure switch vs. a transducer vs. a gauge?
  • Pressure switches are ideal for triggering alarms or shutdowns at specific setpoints
  • Transducers provide continuous pressure data for monitoring and control systems
  • Gauges offer local, visual pressure indication without requiring power

Your choice depends on whether your application requires control, monitoring, or visual feedback.

+Are these devices suitable for hazardous environments?
Yes. Gen 3 SIL 3 pressure devices are designed for use in harsh and hazardous environments, with options available to meet common hazardous area certifications. Always confirm the specific rating required for your application.
 
+How do SIL 3 pressure devices improve plant safety?
These devices continuously monitor pressure conditions and trigger protective actions when unsafe thresholds are reached. By integrating into a Safety Instrumented System, they help prevent incidents such as overpressure, equipment failure, and potential safety hazards.
+What industries benefit most from SIL 3 pressure instrumentation?
Industries with high-risk processes benefit the most, including oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment. Any operation requiring compliance with functional safety standards can leverage SIL 3 devices to enhance protection and reliability.
