This pressure sensor can measure up to 2 bar absolute pressure (10m depth) with a depth resolution of 0.16mm and an in-air altitude resolution of 13cm. It is waterproof and ready to install. This sensor is NOT compatible with ArduSub or the BlueROV2.

This updated sensor has a preinstalled JST GH connector in place of a DF13 connector. Our JST GH to DF13 Adapter can be used to connect to hardware using DF13 connectors.
Please note! This sensor must be allowed to dry in air once per day for at least 2 hours, or the pressure and temperature readings will drift.
For long term submersion or environments where regular drying is not possible, please see the Bar100 Depth/Pressure Sensor.

Product Description

The Bar02 Ultra-High Resolution 10m Depth/Pressure Sensor is a low-pressure, high resolution, high accuracy version of our Bar30 sensor. Using the MS5837-02BA sensor from Measurement Specialties, this device can measure up to 10 meter depth (2 bar absolute pressure) with a water depth resolution of just 0.16mm! It can also measure altitude in air using air pressure with a resolution of 13cm. It’s housed in the same penetrator form factor as the Bar30 and can handle up to 10 bar absolute pressure (90 meter water depth).

One of the key features of this version of the sensor compared to the Bar30 sensor is the very high accuracy. According to the datasheet, the worst case accuracy is about +/- 4 mbar (4 cm water depth).

The sensor communicates over I2C. It operates on 3.3V I2C voltage but can accept power input up to 5.5V. It comes standard with a JST GH connector, however it is not compatible with ArduSub or the BlueROV2.

This sensor includes a temperature sensor accurate to ±2°C, with data also accessible through I2C. If you need something with more temperature accuracy, please check out the Celsius Temperature Sensor.

The electrical schematic and board layout are open-source and the design files are available in the Technical Details tab. Feel free to adapt for your own needs.

The gel-filled sensor must be completely dried once per day for at least 2 hours, or the pressure and temperature readings will drift.
