The new DSA5000 Pressure Scanner!


The all new DSA5000 is the latest advancement in the historically reliable and accurate DSA series pressure scanners. Engineered to be extremely versatile and accurate, several functional improvements have been added that put the DSA5000 at the front of pressure measurement solutions. With over 500 different configurations available, the DSA5000 can be customized to fit the most demanding applications.

The DSA5000 was designed with simplicity in mind – requiring only a power and Ethernet connection. All communications, configurations and engineering unit data output is handled over an Ethernet connection. A broad selection of data output formats and options are available including; TCP/IP, UDP and FTP data transfer protocols, in ASCII and Binary formats. A Webserver is fully integrated providing an intuitive and easy means for configuration and operation.


All new electronics have been added to the DSA5000 that allow us to maintain some legacy features of the DSA series for replacement compatibility, but include several new improvements. This includes one 24-bit ADC per pressure transducer (no multiplexing!), one RTD per pressure transducer for accurate temperature compensation, IEEE1588PTPv2 compliance for synchronization, and Engineering scan rates up to 5,000Hz (samples per channel per second).

Scanivalve has also developed a new and unique form of connectivity in the DSA5000: the option to use a hardware, multi-drop architecture. This features allows for a single Ethernet connection to a single DSA5000 which can then control and collect data from a number of other DSA5000 modules. Module identification, configuration, and synchronization happens seamlessly, minimizing setup time and frustration.


Other Features and Improvements

The demand for multi-channel, high-pressure measurement solutions is always increasing. We have spent considerable time researching sensors for the DSA5000 which has allowed us to expand the configurable pressure range from as low as 4″H20 up to 1000psid. This improvement also allows to us to study and prepare for future pressure ranges up to 1500psid.

The pressure range expansion also comes with a accuracy improvement in most ranges of up to ±0.04% FS, which makes the DSA5000 the most accurate pressure scanner on the market.

All DSA5000 configurations are IP67 rated, can be configured with a shock mount for a MIL-STD 810G Cat. 24, 514.6 rating (whether in the field or at the factory), the option for a “Quick-Disconnect” input header, and can include integral heaters for operations down to -50°C.

The integrated heater’s set point can now be controlled via software to allow the module to be customized for different sub-zero applications by the user in the field.

All pneumatic inputs, including measurement and utility inputs (CAL, REF, CTL), use a 5/16″x24 female threaded input. This highly adaptable fitting allows for different adaptors to be installed to convert this input to a Stainless Steel bulged tubulation, compression fitting, or a unique Scanivalve “quick-connect” fitting. Different fittings can be installed in every port and changed quickly.


Scanivalve continues to expand our product line to support our users worldwide. The DSA5000 is an excellent example how we can leverage our vast experience to design products that allow users to easily expand and maximize the capabilities of their Scanivalve pressure measurement systems.
