Code Configuration Breakdown (DB50-AC10BB11GG20)

Based on Endress+Hauser’s standard historical configuration matrices for the Deltapilot S DB50 series, the order string structures as follows:

Code Segment	Value Option	Technical Definition
DB50	Base Model	Hydrostatic pressure transmitter with Contite cell
A	Approval	Non-hazardous area / Standard industrial execution
C	Output Signal	4 to 20 mA HART analog smart protocol communication
1	Housing / Display	Aluminum housing, standard cable entry profile
0	Electrical Connection	Threaded gland entrance layout
BB	Sensor Range	0 to 0.4 bar / 40 kPa / 6 psi nominal calibration limit
1	Calibration / Accuracy	Standard accuracy configuration (typically $\pm0.2\%$ or better)
1	Process Diaphragm Material	316L Stainless Steel (Alloy 1.4435 / 1.4404)
GG20	Process Connection	Threaded mechanical process connection (e.g., G1½ or standard hygienic connection coupling)

Key Application Advantages

• Contite Measuring Cell Protection: Unlike standard silicon or ceramic capacitive sensors that degrade when exposed to moisture buildup in cold product/warm clean-in-place (CIP) cycles, the Contite cell is mechanically decoupled from ambient atmospheric condensation.
• Hydrostatic Level Precision: Optimized specifically for high-linearity measurements in liquid columns where precise volume density tracking is mandatory.
