Superior Sensor Technology CP Dual Low-Pressure Sensors

Superior Sensor Technology CP Dual Low-Pressure Sensors are highly integrated devices with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital signal processor (DSP). The CP sensors combine differential and gauge sensors into one module. When used for CPAP applications, these sensors employ the NimbleSense™ proprietary architecture that achieves a high dynamic range. The CP components offer a 4V maximum voltage rating, 25mA maximum current rating, and -20°C to +85°C operating temperature range. Two variants are available: the CP201 offers a 3-port configuration and the CP301 a 4-port configuration. Superior Sensor Technology CP Dual Low-Pressure Sensors are designed with a high-reliability plastic enclosure creating an ideal combination of high performance and reliability while ensuring a solution optimized for a wide array of CPAP devices.
