The Vaisala PTB330 Barometer is a triple cell barometric pressure transmitter which complies to current standards for Offshore Helicopter Landing Areas (CAP 437). Each BAROCAP® Barometer cell is available in class A accuracy. The Vaisala PTB330 triple cell barometer approach offers not only dual redundancy in critical measurement applications (such as helideck weather monitoring) but reduced uncertainty of measurement where the transmitter output is averaged across the three readings. Onboard diagnostics within the PTB330 disregard faulty barometric pressure sensors where appropriate.
The Vaisala PTB330 triple cell barometer can be set to compensate for QNH and QFE barometric pressure used. This feature is particularly valid in aviation applications. The QNH represents the pressure reduced to sea level, based on the altitude and temperature of the observation site. The QFE represents the height corrected pressure of small differences in altitude, for example, the air pressure at the airfield elevation.
