Specification notes (cont.):

3. Total accuracy is the combined error from offset and span calibration, linearity, pressure hysteresis and temperature effects. 4. The sensor is calibrated with a common mode pressure of 1 bar absolute. Due to the mass flow based measuring principle, variations in absolute common mode pressure need to be compensated according to the following formula:
Peff = Psensor 1 bara Pabs

Peff = True differential pressure Psensor = Differential pressure as indicated by output voltage Pabs = Current absolute common mode pressure

5. The max. common mode pressure is 2 bar. 6. Figure based on accelerated lifetime test corresponding to 1 year of life. 7. For example with a LBAS500... sensor measuring CO2 gas, at 4.5 V output the actual pressure will be 500 Pa x 0.56 = 280 Pa.
Peff = Psensor gas correction factor

Peff = True differential pressure Psensor = Differential pressure as indicated by output voltage
