DS & WT SERIES PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS

DS & WT SERIES PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS

Product catalog summary
Description: The DS and WT series pressure transducers are designed to measure the pressure of gases or fluids and convert it into an electrical signal. The DS series uses a piezoresistive semiconductor sensor chip, while the DST series features a stainless steel diaphragm with no elastomers or o-rings in contact with the media. The WT series is similar to the DS series but housed in a NEMA4 canister for protection against fluid spray.
Specifications: The transducers offer wide pressure ranges, adjustable zero and span, and are available with voltage (0-10 VDC) or current (4-20 mA) outputs. They are housed in rugged anodized aluminum with options for stainless steel sensors and NEMA4 protection.
Dimensions: The document provides detailed dimensions for the DS, DST, and WT series, highlighting the differences in size and fittings.
Electrical Specifications: The transducers require a supply voltage of 15-24 VDC and have a supply current range of 4-50 mA. The analog output varies depending on the model.
Performance: The pressure ranges for the DS and WT series are from -14.7 to 300 psi, while the DST series ranges up to 7200 psi. The response time is fast, and the devices offer high repeatability and accuracy.
Physical Characteristics: The weight varies between series, with the WT series being the heaviest. Materials include Viton seals for DS and WT series and 316L stainless steel for DST series. The devices are designed for non-corrosive gases and fluids.
Calibration Procedure: The document outlines a detailed calibration procedure involving zero and span adjustments, requiring removal of metallic tape to access calibration potentiometers.
Ordering Information: The document provides a comprehensive guide to ordering, detailing options for series units, electrical connections, pressure ranges, fittings, and special options.
Warranty and Safety: Proportion-Air offers a one-year warranty against defects, with limitations on liability. Proper installation and supervision are emphasized to avoid risks.

DS & WT SERIES PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS-1

DS & WT SERIES PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS ♦ Wide pressure ranges available Adjustable zero and span Available with voltage or current outputs Rugged anodized aluminum housing Stainless steel sensor option DS series pressure transducers accurately measure pressure of gases or fluids. The output is an electrical signal based on the measurement. Conditioning of the electrical signal from the strain gauge sensor gives either 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA output depending on the model ordered (consult factory for other available outputs). The electrical output is a linear ratio of the pressure sensed. DS series transducers are enclosed in a rugged aluminum housing. A strain relief protects the wiring from damage caused by excessive pulling force. The standard version (DS) measures pressure using a piezoresistive semiconductor sensor chip. The stainless steel version (DST) utilizes the same silicon etched device mounted on a stainless steel diaphragm. On these units, no elastomers or o-rings contact the pressurized media. All media wetted parts are ANSI type 316L stainless steel. The NEMA4 version (WT series) is electrically identical to the DS series. The WT series is housed in a slightly larger canister that is sealed against fluid spray from any direction. ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR— USER SPECIFIED

DS & WT SERIES PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS-3

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The WT, DS & DST series pressure transducers are factory calibrated. Should further calibration be required, please follow these procedures. Two calibration potentiometers on the pressure transducer set the overall zero and span points. They are located on the back of the transducer recessed in two holes.¹ (See figure 1 for location) These adjustments are set by the factory and covered with metallic tape. This metal tape may be removed to recalibrate the unit.¹ Figure 1 *You must have a good understanding of what the span and zero set adjustments do...
