Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter 3

Install the Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter
The transmitter mounts on a vertical surface with the pressure ports and cable 
entrance on the bottom using the two screw holes on the base of the unit. Ensure 
there is enough space around the unit to make the pressure and electrical 
connections. Avoid locations with severe vibrations or excessive moisture. The 
enclosure has a standard ½” conduit opening and may be installed with either a 
conduit coupler or a cable gland type fitting. In this position the High port is on the 
left and the Low port is on the right as shown on the printed circuit board.
Wire and Connect the Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter
Use twisted-pair 18 to 22 AWG shielded wiring for all connections and do not locate 
the device wires in the same conduit with wiring used to supply inductive loads 
such as motors. Disconnect the power supply before making any connections to 
prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. Make all connections in accordance 
with national and local electrical codes.
This device is a 3-wire sourcing type transmitter. Connect the positive dc voltage or 
the hot side of the ac voltage to the terminal marked PWR. The power supply 
common is connected to the terminal marked COM. The device is reverse voltage 
protected and will not operate if connected backwards. The analog output signal is 
available on the OUT terminal. This signal is jumper selectable for either voltage or 
4 to 20 mA output (factory default). In voltage mode, either 0 to 5 or 0 to 10V dc 
can also be selected. These options are indicated on the circuit board.
The remote zero feature may be used by wiring a dry-contact (relay only) digital 
output to the ZERO terminals. Do not apply voltage to the ZERO terminals.
Plumbing
The two pressure ports are labeled High and Low. The output signal indicates a 
positive value when the pressure is higher on the High port than the Low port so 
ensure these ports are connected correctly. Use an appropriately rated pressure 
tubing and arrange it to minimize stress on the connections.
Do not allow material to fall into the pressure ports as contamination could damage 
the sensors.
Configure the Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter
As shown on the printed circuit board diagram, push-on jumpers and switches are 
used to select the output signal type, the input pressure range and several features. 
The device is factory configured to operate in the 4-20 mA output mode but can be 
changed to voltage mode by moving the two jumpers from the positions marked
