4. Product Features
4.1 Product Features
➢Dual-color LED and red-text alarm displays
➢Analog 4–20 mA output that allows continuous detection of pressure values
➢Anti-corrosion structural design that is suitable for minimally corrosive solution
➢Quick release mount to facilitate calibration and replacement
➢Dual NPN/PNP output that makes pressure control quicker and more convenient
➢IO-Link compatibility to make system integration easier
4.2 Working Principles
With the piezoresistive pressure sensor, as soon as changes in environmental
pressure are detected, the thin film deformation on the pressure sensor
changes too, and the piezoresistive material on the thin film experiences
deformation accordingly. The resistance changes as such as well. Such
resistance change, once read and processed through the Wheatstone bridge
and the amplifier circuit, can be used to measure the size of pressure.

On the installation disc, it is required to make diagonal holes with a diameter of 3.2
mm according to the cross-sectional view B-B above; use the countersunk screws
to hold the disk onto the equipment.
In addition, it is required to make holes with a diameter greater than 51.2 and
smaller than 54 mm according to the forgoing drawing to allow buckling and fixation
once the display pressure meter is inserted into the installation disc.

6.2 Install
Once holes are made on the instrument panel according to Section 5, use the countersunk
screws and nuts (follow the red arrows), and secure the snap disc onto the instrument panel
first. Then, tilt the ECP pressure meter by around 30 degrees. Penetrate it through the snap
disc and let the fixating buckle of the snap disc enter the slot. Turn the ECP pressure meter
clockwise till the pressure meter is in the same orientation as the snap disc and this
completes the installation process.
6.3 Installation of Circuits
Once wiring is completed according to Section 5, finish installing the ECP pressure meter. Link and
insert the quick joint of the cable in the arrow-indicated direction to complete installation of the
circuit.

7.5 Examples
The default value of OUT1 LoPt is 1kgf/cm2 and that of HiPt is 2 kgf/cm2
Once the measured pressure is greater than HiPt 2 kgf/cm2, the On/Off joint OUT1 starts to
act and the font color turns red.
Once the measured pressure is below LoPt 1 kgf/cm2, the On/Off joint OUT1 starts to
initialize and the font color turns green.
Once the measured pressure is greater than OU2 LoPt 3 kgf/cm2, the On/Off joint OUT2
starts to act.
Once the measured pressure is greater than OU2 HiPt 4 kgf/cm2, the On/Off joint OUT2
starts to home.
The OUT2 joint only acts when the measured pressure is between LoPt and HiPt.

8. Transportation And Storage
8.1 Transportation requirements
To prevent the ECP Pressure Guage from damage during the transportation, please
keep the packaging condition as how it was when it was shipped from the factory
before arriving at the installation site. The storage conditions should meet the
following:
➢Appropriate rainproof and damp-proof treatment must be conducted .
➢Vibration must be reduced and collision with other objects must be prevented
during its transportation.
➢The storage temperature must be in the range of -40～70°C
➢The humidity should be lower than 80%
9. Maintenance
9.1 Daily Care
Periodically check the pressure sensing port to see if it is clogged by foreign matters or
damaged; if it is seriously clogged, clean it. If it is damaged, replace the equipment.
When equipment is removed and before it is re-installed, confirm carefully if pressure is
released from pressurized pipes to avoid leakage of liquids from the pipes.
The disposal of equipment shall be based on local national regulations in an
environmentally friendly way.
In the case of return, please make sure that the product is not contaminated, particularly
by hazardous or poisonous substances. For the transport, suitable packaging is required
to avoid damaging the equipment.
