[Std] – This pressure transducer used to
convert the package discharge pressure of the
compressor into a 4-20ma analog signal to the
controller. This sensor has a supply voltage of
24VDC, and wired into terminal block XO5 pins
1 & 2 on the backside of the controller. The
output analog signal ranges from 4ma at 0 psi to
20ma at 232psi.The output signal is processed
by the Intellisys and depending on the voltage
the controller may cause a change in the
pressure readout on the display, load or unload
the compressor, or even shut the compressor
down if conditions dictate.
