1. Location
Select a clean, dry mounting location free from excess vibration where
the temperature will remain between 20 and 120˚F (-6.7 and 48.9˚C).
Distance from the receiver is limited only by total loop resistance. See Panel
Electrical Connections on next page. The tubing supplying pressure to
the instrument can be practically any length required, but long lengths
will increase response time slightly.

2. Position
A vertical position required. That is the position in which all standard
models are spanned and zeroed at the factory.

Pressure Connections
Two integral tubing connections are provided on the side of the gage. Surface
They are sized to fit 1/8˝ (3.12 mm) I.D. tubing. Be sure the pressure
rating of the tubing exceeds that of the operating ranges. 11/16

 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS USER CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not exceed specified supply voltage ratings. The transmitter may be user calibrated with two buttons on the front. The
Permanent damage not covered by warranty will result. This unit is standard models have buttons labeled “ZERO” and “SPAN”. LCD models
not designed for 120 or 240 volts AC line operation. have buttons labeled “ZERO” and “UNITS”. The “UNITS” button on the
LCD models has 2 functions. If pushed for less than 2 seconds and

“UNITS” button serves the same function as the “SPAN” button on the
standard models.

To calibrate the transmitter you will need three pieces of equipment. You
will need a calibrated pressure source capable of generating a stable
pressure value for the maximum range of the unit under test, an
instrument capable of validating the calibration pressure, and a
milliameter to measure the current output from the unit under test. The
transmitter is calibrated using the following procedure.

Preparation – Connect the Milliameter and power supply, being careful

to observe polarities. The transmitter must be calibrated in a vertical
Figure B position.
