IMI TWTG

NEON Pressure Sensor with Optional Gauge (Ex)

As the energy-producing industry rapidly transforms into the digital age, engineers are beginning to achieve deeper clarity of facilities by adding increasingly more data measuring points. However, while data leads innovation, we understand that, in certain situations, traditional instrumentation can still play a vital role for engineers.

Addressing these demands, IMI has developed a new pressure sensor that is accurate, versatile, and robust. The NEON Pressure Sensor is available in several pressure ranges and various other options, including one with a Badotherm gauge. The analog meter addresses an engineer’s need for immediate visual feedback when performing manual inspections, delicate maintenance, or possible emergency procedures. This design is best for digital and analog workflows, with fewer failure points than competing installations.

NEON Pressure Sensors provide data for predictive maintenance and monitoring and issue alerts when tolerances are breached. They are retrofittable, with up to ten years of battery life, and communicate wirelessly via a local LoRaWAN network. The sensors are available with an IECEx / ATEX certification or as a non-Ex variant.

Designed for industry from the very beginning, the IMI TWTG NEON product line is built to not only operate in industrial sites where explosive gasses are being handled but also all other elements that a sensor may be exposed to in the course of its lifetime (up to 10 years). It has been tested and certified to work in conditions from -40° to 70° Celsius without hampering performance. The devices are designed and engineered so that they can be safely and securely deployed in a wireless network and are remotely configurable, ensuring not only longevity but also reliability within an operation.

The NEON Pressure Sensor is now also available in a non-ATEX / IECEx certified version, tailored for industrial environments where such certification is not required. Built with the same standards as the ATEX / IECEx certified version, this sensor delivers the same accurate pressure readings.

This version is ideal for facilities outside of explosive zones, such as manufacturing, pulp and paper, water management, and automation, offering all the benefits of the known NEON capabilities and features without the need for intrinsic safety compliance.

With the trusted NEON form factor, full LoRaWAN compatibility, and industry-grade resilience, this sensor offers a powerful, cost-effective solution for widespread asset monitoring – engineered to perform for over a decade in the field.

Additional to the sensor’s extremely long lifetime, IMI delivers spare parts and product lifecycle support. The sensor can continue to be used with the correct refurbishment kit. This way, maintenance can be kept at a minimum.

NEON Pressure Sensor can be installed / mounted using its bracket with a band clamp or bolts. The cable between the transmitter and sensor part allows for flexible placing options and easy access on-site.

The NEON product range supports all industrial customers moving towards LoRaWAN as the Industrial IoT network of the future. The LoRaWAN network gives industrial operations a secure solution, which has no vendor lock-in, scales up to tens of thousands of sensors, covers complete sites with only a small amount of gateways, and best of all – the low-power approach means that the lifetime of the NEON products can be extended dramatically. This international networking technology is quickly becoming the industry standard.

NEON stands for a standardised approach to collecting data points from within the operation and a general approach to creating integrated solutions with existing IT ecosystems.
