INSTALLATION

Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate carrier 

immediately.  If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for 

obvious damage. Return damaged products.

Warning:

•  Do not use on oxygen service, in an explosive/hazardous environment, or 

with flammable/combustible media.

•  Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent electrical shock 

and equipment damage.

•  Make all connections in accordance with the job wiring diagram and in 

accordance with national and local electrical codes. Use copper 

conductors only.

Caution:

•  Use electrostatic discharge precautions (e.g., use of wrist straps) during 

installation and wiring to prevent equipment damage.

•  Avoid locations where severe shock or vibration, excessive moisture or 

corrosive fumes are present. NEMA Type 4 housings are intended for 

outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against wind-blown 

dust, rain, and hose-directed water.

•  Do not exceed ratings of the device.

Refer to 

Figure 7

 for mounting dimensions.

1.  Remove the transducer cover using a Phillips head screwdriver.
2.  Select the mounting location.
3.  Mount transducer on a vertical surface with two #8 self-tapping screws 

(not provided).

4.  Pull wires through bottom of enclosure and make necessary connections.
5.  Replace cover and make pneumatic connections.

PX276 pressure transducers with 4–20 mA output units are powered with a 12–40 VDC supply.
The following describes the proper wiring of these pressure transducers with mA output:
1.  Remove the terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board.
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.  Re-insert the terminal block to the circuit board and apply power to the unit.
7.  Check for the appropriate output signal using a DVM set on DC milliamps connected in 

series with the [-] terminal.

PX276 pressure transducers with 4–20 mA output units are powered with a 12–40 VDC supply.
The following describes the proper wiring of these pressure transducers with mA output:
1.  Remove the terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board.
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.  Re-insert the terminal block to the circuit board and apply power to the unit.
7.  Check for the appropriate output signal using a DVM set on DC milliamps connected in 

series with the [-] terminal. 

PX279 pressure transducers with VDC output are field selectable 0–5 VDC or 0–10 VDC 

output and can be powered with either 12–40 VDC or 12–35 VAC.

The following describes the proper wiring of these pressure transducers with VDC output:

1.  Remove the terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board.
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 

terminal. 

5.  Re-insert the terminal block to the circuit board and apply power to the unit.
6.  Check the appropriate VDC output using a voltmeter set on DC volts across the [0] and [-] 

terminals.

Mounting

INSTALLATION

Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate carrier 

immediately.  If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for 

obvious damage. Return damaged products.

Warning:

•  Do not use on oxygen service, in an explosive/hazardous environment, or 

with flammable/combustible media.

•  Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent electrical shock 

and equipment damage.

•  Make all connections in accordance with the job wiring diagram and in 

accordance with national and local electrical codes. Use copper 

conductors only.

Caution:

•  Use electrostatic discharge precautions (e.g., use of wrist straps) during 

installation and wiring to prevent equipment damage.

•  Avoid locations where severe shock or vibration, excessive moisture or 

corrosive fumes are present. NEMA Type 4 housings are intended for 

outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against wind-blown 

dust, rain, and hose-directed water.

•  Do not exceed ratings of the device.
