NRG Systems’ BP60 Barometric Pressure Sensor
brings important upgrades to the proven design
of our BP20 Barometric Pressure Sensor, offering
significantly improved accuracy and temperature-
compensation.
Key Benefits:
• New housing and sensing element improves
measurement accuracy over 4x vs. BP20
• Native temperature-compensation allows
the sensor to react to internal temperature
changes almost immediately
• Well-suited for remote wind and solar energy
studies with low, 1 mA current draw
• Designed to be a drop-in replacement for
the BP20 for seamless transitions
• Cable lengths up to 110m and an optional
up-tower bracket provide flexible mounting

Specifications:
Each BP60 unit undergoes a single-point check to confirm
performance within the sensor’s specifications, the results
of which are available in a factory verification certificate at
no additional cost.
A three-point calibration is also available from NRG’s ISO
9001: 2015 manufacturing facility.
