Calibration of PX276 mA Units

1.  Connect terminals [+] and [-] to the appropriate power source.
2.  Connect the DVM in series on the [-] terminal.
3.  Apply low pressure to the unit and carefully adjust the zero trimmer 

[Zu] to obtain desired low output.

4.  Apply high pressure to the unit and adjust span trimmer [S] to obtain 

the desired high output pressure.

5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 until desired calibration is achieved

.

All units are factory calibrated to meet or exceed published specifications. 

If field adjustment is necessary, follow the instructions below.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance of the total system is recommended to assure 

sustained optimum performance.

FIELD REPAIR

None. Replace with a functional unit.

WARRANTY

See Data Sheet for additional information.

Calibration of PX279 VDC Units

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 [0] and [-] terminal.
3.  Apply low pressure to the unit and carefully adjust the zero trimmer 

[Zu] to obtain desired low output.

4.  Apply high pressure to the unit and adjust span trimmer [S] to obtain 

the desired high output pressure.

NOTE:  The PX276/PX279 is a highly accurate device.  For 

applications requiring a high degree of accuracy, the use of

laboratory quality meters and gauges are recommended.

Caution: 

If you are using grounded AC, the hot wire must be on the 

[+] terminal. Also, if you are using a controller without built-in isolation, 
use an isolation transformer to supply the transducer.

Caution: 

This product contains a half-wave rectifier power supply and 

must not be powered off transformers used to power other devices 
utilizing non-isolated full-wave rectifier power supplies. 

Caution: 

When multiple units are powered from the same transformer, 

damage will result unless all 24G power leads are connected to the 
same power lead on all devices. It is mandatory that correct phasing be 
maintained when powering more than one device from a single transducer.

NOTE:  The PX276/PX279 is a highly accurate device.  For 

applications requiring a high degree of accuracy, the use of

laboratory quality meters and gauges are recommended.

Caution: 

If you are using grounded AC, the hot wire must be on the 

[+] terminal. Also, if you are using a controller without built-in isolation, 
use an isolation transformer to supply the transducer.

Caution: 

This product contains a half-wave rectifier power supply and 

must not be powered off transformers used to power other devices 
utilizing non-isolated full-wave rectifier power supplies. 

Caution: 

When multiple units are powered from the same transformer, 

damage will result unless all 24G power leads are connected to the 
same power lead on all devices. It is mandatory that correct phasing be 
maintained when powering more than one device from a single transducer.

CHECKOUT

1.   Verify that the unit is mounted in the correct position.
2.   Verify appropriate input signal and supply voltage.

3.   Verify appropriate configuration range.

Caution: 

Never connect 120 VAC to these transducers. Never 

connect AC voltage to a unit intended for DC supply.

CALIBRATION

Transducer

Operation

This is a rough functional check only.

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

range.

2.  Output should be 20 mA or 5 or 10 VDC.
3.  Adjust the pressure to obtain minimum output signal.
4.  Output should be 4 mA or 0 VDC.

Calibration of PX276 mA Units

1.  Connect terminals [+] and [-] to the appropriate power source.
2.  Connect the DVM in series on the [-] terminal.
3.  Apply low pressure to the unit and carefully adjust the zero trimmer 

[Zu] to obtain desired low output.

4.  Apply high pressure to the unit and adjust span trimmer [S] to obtain 

the desired high output pressure.

5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 until desired calibration is achieved

.

All units are factory calibrated to meet or exceed published specifications. 

If field adjustment is necessary, follow the instructions below.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance of the total system is recommended to assure 

sustained optimum performance.

FIELD REPAIR

None. Replace with a functional unit.

WARRANTY

See Data Sheet for additional information.

Calibration of PX279 VDC Units

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 [0] and [-] terminal.
3.  Apply low pressure to the unit and carefully adjust the zero trimmer 

[Zu] to obtain desired low output.

4.  Apply high pressure to the unit and adjust span trimmer [S] to obtain 

the desired high output pressure.

5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 until desired calibration is achieved.
