RETURNING PRODUCTS FOR REPAIR
Please contact Setra (1-800-257-3872 or 978-263-1400) before returning unit for repair to review information
relative to your application. Many times, only minor field adjustments may be necessary.
When returning a product to Setra, the material should be carefully packaged and shipped prepaid to:

Attn:
Repair
Department
To assure prompt handling, please supply the following information and include it inside the package of
returned material:
1. Name and phone number of person to contact.
2. Shipping and billing instructions.
3. Full description of the malfunction.
4. Identify any hazardous material used with product.
Notes: Please remove any pressure fittings and plumbing that you have installed and enclose any required
mating electrical connectors and wiring diagrams.
Allow approximately 3 weeks after receipt at Setra for the repair and return of the unit.
Non-warranty repairs will not be made without customer approval and a purchase order to cover repair
charges.
in to the output circuit to cause output oscillation. If encountered, this oscillation may be eliminated by
connecting a 100 ohm resistor (1/8 watt or larger) in series in each of the output leads at the end of the 2
foot transducer cable. These series resistors, of course, add to the output resistance.
CAUTION:
Excitation power, or voltage in excess of 15 VDC, inadvertently applied to the output leads
may damage the electrical circuit. Care must be taken when installing this transducer that the excitation
voltage is not applied to the output leads by mistake. Shielding or other precaution should be provided
to assure that transient voltages in excess of 15 VDC are not applied to the output leads.
ADJUSTMENTS (with cover removed)
CAUTION: TURN OFF EXCITATION POWER DURING COVER REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT.
ZERO PRESSURE OUTPUT
Unit factory adjusted to within ± 50 mV. Can be adjusted by the air trim capacitor as shown in the dia-
gram. Any adjustments will begin to change sensitivity.
SENSITIVITY
Can be adjusted by potentiometer as shown on diagram. Unit factory adjusted to order specifications.
OTHER ADJUSTMENT
Adjusted at factory. Touching any adjustments other than zero output or sensitivity may necessitate
recalibration. Do not touch.

CALIBRATION SERVICES
Setra maintains a complete calibration facility that is traceable to the National Institute of Standards & Technol-
ogy (NIST). If you would like to recalibrate or recertify your Setra pressure transducers please call our Repair
Department at 1-800-257-3872 (978-263-1400) for scheduling, cost and turnaround estimates.
Option #1
Uses a single, ground referenced power supply
for excitation and separate, isolated, (not ground
referenced), readout or "differential input" to a
data acquisition system for each pressure trans-
ducer output.
Option #3
Uses a single, ground referenced power supply
for excitation and either a single, isolated readout
with a bipolar switch that "breaks before makes"
both the + output and - output of each pressure
transducer, or a single data acquisition system
with a multiplexer (MUX).
NOTE: The shield is internally commoned to the
case and pressure port of the transducer. When
the shield is connected to ground, the case and
pressure port of the transducer will also be com-
moned to that ground.
PS - Power Supply (Nominal 24 VDC)
PT - Pressure Transducer (4 Wire Circuit)
DVM/DAS - Digital Volt Meter or Data Acquisition
System
Option#2
Uses a separate, isolated power supply for each
pressure transducer's excitation and a single,
ground referenced readout or "single-ended
input" to a data acquisition system for all of the
outputs.
