Introduction
The PV350 Pressure/Vacuum Transducer Module (the module)
measures gauge pressure; the difference between atmospheric
(barometric) pressure and the pressure (or vacuum) applied to the
pressure port on the transducer. It then converts that measurement to 1
mV dc per unit. A module and a high-performance digital multimeter
(DMM) with min/max function become a datalogger capable of measuring
peak high and peak low.

Safety Information
WWarning
To avoid eye injury, always wear approved safety glasses
when working with this instrument.
To avoid injury from pressure explosion:
• Be sure that pressure is removed before
disconnecting any hoses or tubing from the PV350
transducer.
• Follow accepted safety procedures for systems on
which pressure or vacuum measurements are made.
• Make sure the PV350 is serviced by a qualified
technician.
• Complies with safety standard EN/IEC 61010.
