Adjustments

Jumper Configuration

Jumper configuration varies according to the output type of the low pressure transducer. Range 
configurations are shown in Table 1. Jumper selections for mA output low pressure transducers 
are shown in Figure 10; jumper selections for VDC output low pressure transducers are shown 
in Figure 11.

Checkout

1.

Verify that the transducer is mounted in the correct position.

2.

Verify the appropriate input signal and supply voltage.

3.

Verify the appropriate configuration range.

AUTION

!

Never connect 120 VAC to the pressure transducer. AC voltage should never be connected 
to a transducer intended for a DC power supply.

Transducer Operation

1.

Adjust the pressure to obtain the maximum output signal for the appropriate range.

2.

Ensure that output is either 20 mA or 5 or 10 VDC.

3.

Adjust the pressure to obtain a minimum output signal.

4.

Ensure that output is either 4 mA or 0 VDC.

Note:
This pressure transducer is a highly accurate device. For applications requiring a high degree of 
accuracy, use laboratory quality meters and gages.

Calibration

All transducers are factory calibrated to meet or exceed published specifications. If field 
adjustment is necessary, follow these instructions:

Calibration of All Pressure Transducers

1.

Connect terminals [+] and [-] to the appropriate power source.

2.

Connect the DVM in series to the [-] terminal.

3.

Apply low pressure to the transducer and carefully adjust the zero trimmer [Z] to obtain the 
desired low output pressure.

4.

Apply high pressure to the transducer and adjust the span trimmer [S] to obtain the desired 
high output pressure.

5.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the transducer is fully calibrated.

Calibration of VDC Output Pressure Transducers Only

1.

Connect terminals [+] and [-] to the appropriate power source. The [-] terminal is also the 
negative output terminal.

2.

Connect the DVM on DC volts across the [0] and [-] terminals.

3.

Apply low pressure to the transducer and carefully adjust the zero trimmer [Z] to obtain the 
desired low output pressure.

4.

Apply high pressure to the transducer and adjust the span trimmer [S] to obtain the desired 
high output pressure.

5.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the transducer is fully calibrated.

Maintenance

Perform regular maintenance on the total system to ensure the sustained optimum performance 
of the low pressure transducer.

Field Repair

Do not attempt to repair the low pressure transducer. Replace a malfunctioning transducer with 
a functional transducer if necessary.

Warranty

See the accompanying data sheet for additional information.
