Introduction
This manual is for use with NT®
Pressure Transducers for vacuum
applications, single-port and
flow-through models 4150 and 4250.
These instruments have been
designed for use in high purity
applications in the semiconductor
industry and are compatible with
highly corrosive processes.
These products feature no moving
parts and no filled cavities, which
reduces the possibility of a contami-
nated process. The wetted parts of
these nonmetallic transducers are
constructed with PTFE, sapphire or
other similar high purity inert
materials.

IDENTIFYING NONSTANDARD
PRODUCT CONFIGURATIONS
This User Guide applies to product
manufactured as standard NT
Pressure Transducers single-port
and flow-through models 4150 and
4250. Entegris also manufactures
nonstandard product to meet the
needs of specific applications.
Nonstandard product may have
dierent materials of construction,
accuracy specifications, performance
and other specifications that dieren-
tiate the nonstandard product from
the standard oering.
NOTE: Nonstandard pressure transduc-
ers may be identified by the model
number found on the product label.
Nonstandard single-port pressure
transducers, model 4150 product
line, are identified with a “P” followed
by a number code.
For example, part number
4150-030V-F02-B06-A-P04
the “P04” designates the product as
a nonstandard product manufactured
to certain specifications designated
under the “P04” code.
Nonstandard flow-through pressure
transducers, model 4250 product
line, are identified with a “T” followed
by a number code.
For example, part number
4250-030V-F02-B06-A-T02
the “T02” designates the product as
a nonstandard product manufactured
to certain specifications designated
under the “T02” code.

Installation
CAUTION! The NT Pressure
Transducer has been factory
sealed. Do not attempt to remove
the coverof the pressure trans-
ducer. Any attempt at removal
of the pressure transducer cover
will void the warranty and damage
the unit.
CAUTION! Do not tighten the
nuts that protect the process
connections during shipment.
Do not tighten the nuts unless
the proper tubing has been
installed. Tightening these
nuts may result in damage to
the pressure transducer process
connections.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
NT Pressure Transducers utilize
Flaretek®flared tube connections
and must be used with the proper
tubing size and coupling nut.
When installing flared tubing to the
pressure transducer, the flared tube
is pushed over the transducer’s fitting
until the fitting reaches the smaller
tube diameter. The amount of torque
required to tighten the coupling nut
is dependent upon the size of the
fitting.
Fitting size 11⁄44"33⁄88"11⁄22"33⁄44" 1"
Torque (in•lb) 5 8 11 14 30
Care should be taken when installing
flared tubing onto the pressure
transducer. Do not use excessive
torque or subject the transducer to
high heat during installation. The
transducer should be firmly mounted
to a solid surface to ensure stability.
Verify that the pressure transducer
and the signal cable are free from
mechanical stress or excessive
bending from the surrounding
equipment.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The pressure transducer provides
an analog (4-20 mA) electrical
output proportional to the pressure
measured.
NOTE: The white wire is not required,
please refer to the wiring diagram

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The pressure transducer requires a
12-28 volt DC power supply with less
than 2% ripple at 100 or 120 Hz. The
required power supply voltage varies
with the load resistance (RLoad),
please refer to the diagrams below
and the formulas on page 9.
The power supply must provide clean
power and must be used only to
power similar measurement-type
devices. The power supply must not
be used to power inductive loads,
such as motors, relays or solenoids.
These devices may produce tran-
sients that may aect the pressure
transducer measurements when the
inductive device is powered-up or
powered down.
NOTE: Be sure to ground the shield of
the cable to local ground.

LOAD RESISTANCE: CURRENT OUTPUT
(4-20 mA Configuration)
If a load resistor, RLoad, is used in series
with the current output, the value
of RLoad is dependent on the supply
voltage and the meter resistance
and is calculated from the following
formula.
where:
RLoad = maximum load resistance
(ohms)
VPS = power supply voltage (volts)
Rmeter = meter resistance (ohms)
(typically not used, therefore
Rmeter = 0)
Rwire = resistance of
interconnecting wire
RLoad = - (Rmeter +Rwire)
VPS - 12 V

Unit Operation
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The pressure transducer is to be
mounted in a well vented and
controlled environment. Refer to
the Reference section on page 13
for additional specifications.
PROCESS CONNECTIONS
To avoid possible pressure leaks,
make sure all process connections
have been performed in accordance
with the Mechanical Installation
guidelines on page 6.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
COVER ASSEMBLY
NT Pressure Transducer covers are
factory sealed and should not be
tampered with or opened. Opening
the cover shall void the product
warranty.
NOTE: Any attempt to remove or tamper
with the transducer cover will void the
warranty and damage the unit.
TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS
The pressure transducer is rated for
use with fluids at process tempera-
tures between 10° to 35°C (50° to
95°F) under normal operating
conditions.

cantly for temperatures above
35°C (95°F) Please consult the
factory.
PRESSURE REFERENCE ACCURACY
The accuracy of the pressure
transducer output is ±1% of span.
For example, a -12 to 30 psig ranged
pressure transducer has a span of
42 psig and an accuracy of ±0.42
psig. This accuracy includes the
eects of linearity, hysteresis and
repeatability, measured at room
temperature.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting the NT Pressure
Transducers may be accomplished
by measuring the output signal of
the pressure transducer with a battery
powered current/voltage meter. The
meter may be placed in series with
the pressure transducer to measure
the current output or it may be used
to directly measure the voltage
output.
Using the battery powered current/
volt meter is an eective method to
determine whether the device or the
on-site data acquisition system is not
functioning properly.
