I. Basic Description
The PSW-100 Pressure Sensor is designed to be a direct plug in accessory to all BDI
DPS-100D and ERI PWR-100D True RMS Power Sensors. The PSW-100 Accepts 5
VDC and Ground and outputs a D.C. voltage in the range of 0.5-4.5 VDC linearly
corresponding to 0-15 PSI.
II. Installation Instructions
The PSW-100 is supplied with a three position push on connector.
1. Install the sensor by applying a small amount of Teflon tape to the threads of the
sensor.
2. Screw the sensor into the gas receptacle on the transmission line. Do not
overtighten the sensor as typically it will be installed into a brass fitting and can
the brass threads can easily be stripped if overtightened. If Teflon tape has been
used it should only be necessary to snug the fitting in place.
3. Using soapy water in a spray bottle spray the fitting to check for leaks.
4. Plug the three position connector into the socket marked “PRES” on top of the
DPS-100D or PWR-100D sensor.
5. Check the pressure indication on the face of the DPS-100D or PWR-100D
sensor or log into the web page to view all parameters.
Note:
It is possible to use the PSW-100 Pressure Sensor with a remote control without the
use of a BDI DPS-100D or ERI PWR-100D sensor. Please follow the instructions
below carefully as an error in wiring will cause damage to the sensor and will void
the warranty.
1. Remove the three position connector by pressing the orange release button
under each hole.
2. Connect the BLACK wire to common-ground
3. Connect the WHITE wire to the metering input of the remote control
4. Connect the Red wire to a +5 VDC source. The ground for the +5 VDC source
must be common to where the BLACK common-ground wire is connected on the
remote control
5. Follow your remote control manufacturers instructions for providing a linear read
out of the PSW-100 sensor. The sensor will indicate 0 – 15 PSI for a 0.5-4.5
VDC output from the sensor. See Fig. 2 Transducer Specifications for complete
detail.
