Yokogawa AE102MN-AB1-LNA-A1DH/BR/FF1/FN1
Full Model Number: AE102MN-AB1-LNA-A1DH/BR/FF1/FN1
Product Introduction:
The AE102MN-AB1-LNA-A1DH/BR/FF1/FN1 is a high-performance differential pressure transmitter with remote diaphragm seals from Yokogawa’s EJX series. It is designed for level, flow, and pressure measurement of corrosive, viscous, high-temperature, or sanitary process fluids where direct contact with the process medium must be avoided.

Working Principle:
The process pressure acts on the diaphragm of the remote seal, which is transmitted through a capillary tube filled with incompressible fill fluid to the silicon resonant sensor inside the transmitter. The sensor uses dual resonant element technology — two H-shaped silicon resonators vibrate at their natural frequency. Differential pressure causes a frequency shift proportional to the pressure difference, which is converted to a 4–20 mA output. The remote seal configuration allows the transmitter to be mounted away from the process, protecting it from extreme temperatures, corrosive media, and clogging.
Advantages & Highlights:
- ±0.04% accuracy — highest in class for DP transmitters
- Remote diaphragm seals enable measurement of highly corrosive, viscous, or sanitary fluids
- Dual resonant sensor provides excellent long-term stability (±0.04% per 10 years)
- Multi-sensing capability: DP, GP, AP, level, flow, density
- Self-diagnostics with HART 7 and FOUNDATION Fieldbus
Applicable Industries:
- Chemical and petrochemical plants (corrosive acids, alkalis)
- Pharmaceutical and biotech (sanitary applications, SIP/CIP compatible)
- Oil and gas (crude oil, slurry, heavy oil)
- Power generation (boiler drum level, condenser level)
- Pulp and paper (black liquor, white liquor)
Installation Requirements:
- Mount the transmitter at the same elevation as the upper tap for level measurement, or below for flow measurement
- Keep capillary tube length as short as practical (≤ 15 m maximum recommended) to minimize response time degradation
- Avoid sharp bends in capillary tubing (minimum bend radius: 75 mm)
- Ensure all connections are leak-tight — any leak in the capillary system will cause measurement error
Usage Precautions:
- Do not exceed the maximum static pressure rating of the diaphragm seal at the operating temperature
- For high-temperature service (> 150°C), verify fill fluid compatibility and maximum temperature rating
- Perform zero calibration with both process taps at equal pressure (for DP) or at atmospheric pressure (for GP/AP)
- In cold climates, ensure the fill fluid does not freeze (use appropriate fill fluid for sub-zero temperatures)
