Installation 

Inspection

Inspect the transducer packaging for signs of damage. If damaged, notify the carrier 
immediately.

Requirements

Tools (not provided):

-

Digital volt-ohm meter (DVM)

-

Appropriate screwdriver for mounting screws

-

Appropriate drill and drill bit for mounting screws

Appropriate accessories

Two #8 self-tapping mounting screws (not provided)

Training: Installer must be a qualified and experienced technician

W

ARNING

!

Disconnect the power supply before installing the transducer. Failure to do so can result in 

electrical shock and equipment damage.

Make all connections in accordance with the job wiring diagram and national and local 
electrical codes. Use only copper conductors.

Use electrostatic discharge precautions such as wrist straps when installing and wiring the 
transducer.

Avoid installing the transducer in locations where severe shock, vibration, excessive 
moisture, or corrosive fumes are present. NEMA 4 housings are primarily intended for 
outdoor use to provide a degree of protection against windblown dust, rain, and hose-
directed water.

Do not exceed ratings for the transducer.

Mounting

1.

Remove the transducer cover using a Phillips screwdriver.

2.

Select the mounting location.

3.

Mount the transducer on a vertical surface with two number eight self-tapping screws (not 
provided).

4.

Pull the wires through the bottom of the enclosure and make the necessary connections.

5.

Replace the cover and make the pneumatic connections.

Wiring

Use 12 AWG wire maximum for wiring terminals. Use flexible 1/4-inch outer diameter (5/32-inch 
inner diameter) tubing for the high and low pressure connections. See Figures 6 to 9 for wiring 
diagrams and Figures 10 and 11 for jumper designations.

Wiring for mA Output

1.

Remove the blue terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board. See Figure 4.

2.

Locate the [+] and [-] terminal markings on the board.

3.

Attach the supply voltage to the [+] lead.

4.

Connect the 4 - 20 mA output ([-] terminal) to the controller’s input terminal.

5.

Ensure that the power supply common is attached to the common bus of the controller.

6.

Reinsert the terminal block to the circuit board and apply power to the transducer.

7.

Check for the appropriate output signal by using a DVM set to DC milliamps connected in 
series to the [-] terminal.

Wiring for VDC Output

The VDC output low pressure transducer is field selectable for 0 - 5 VDC or 0 - 10 VDC output 
and can be powered with either 12 - 40 VDC or 12 - 35 VAC. 

1.

Remove the blue terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board. See Figure 5.

2.

Locate the [+], [-], and [0] terminal markings on the board.

3.

Attach the power wires to the [+] and [-] terminals. The [-] terminal is also the negative 
output terminal.

4.

Connect the [0] terminal, which is the positive VDC output terminal, to the controller’s 
input.

5.

Reinsert the terminal block to the circuit board and apply power to the transducer.

6.

Check the appropriate VDC output by using a DVM set to DC volts connected to the [0] 
and [-] terminals.

C

AUTION

!

If using grounded AC, ensure that the hot wire is on the [+] terminal. In addition, if using a 
controller without built-in isolation, use an isolation transformer to supply the transducer.

This transducer contains a half-wave rectifier power supply and must not be powered from 
transformers powering other devices with non-isolated full-wave rectifier power supplies.

When multiple transducers are powered from the same transformer, damage will result 
unless all 24-gage power leads are connected to the same power lead on all transducers. 
Maintain the correct phasing when powering more than one transducer from a single 
transformer.
