7. Ordering information
The 2450 Pressure Sensor has a one-piece injection molded PVDF body and ceramic diaphragm for superior compatibility in corrosive
liquids. These sensors are available with Digital (S3L) digital output or field-scaleable 4 to 20 mA output. Select from three (3) pressure
ranges for optimal measurement resolution. Built-in temperature compensation provides outstanding accuracy over a wide operating
range. Versions with 1/2in. union process connection are best suited for in-line installations.
Integral adapters (sold separately) may be used to create a compact assembly with field mount versions of the 8250 Level Transmitter
and the 8450 Pressure Transmitter.

3. Installation
Diaphragm
Capillary Tube
Cable gland
Reducer coupling
• Signet 2450 Pressure Sensors are gauge pressure sensors. Gauge pressure
sensors measure the difference in pressure between the process on one side of a
diaphragm and the atmospheric pressure on the opposite side of the diaphragm.
A tiny capillary tube inside the sensor body is used to ensure that the back of the
diaphragm remains at atmospheric pressure. If moisture is allowed to propagate
down this tube to the rear of the diaphragm, the sensor may be damaged.
Important Installation Recommendations
• The ceramic diaphragm is subject to breakage by over-pressure conditions or mechanical contact.
HANDLE WITH CARE. Do not attempt to test the sensor by pressing on the diaphragm.
• Short duration pressure pulses or shocks, called ‘‘water hammer’’ are generated by a rapid change in flow rate caused by the
operation of system components such as compressors, pumps, pistons and valves. Water hammer can reach pressure levels
far exceeding the over pressure rating of our pressure sensors and damage the ceramic diaphragm.
• A pressure snubber is a device for slowing the rate of change of system flow. Installation of a properly sized snubber at or
near the input of a pressure sensor will protect it from water hammer damage. Snubbers are available through plumbing and
instrumentation dealers.
• When threading the sensor into a piping system, any backpressure can damage the ceramic diaphragm. Open nearby valves
to relieve any backpressure while threading the sensor into the pipe.
• If the nearby valves cannot be open while threading the
sensor into the pipe, a bleed valve can be installed to
avoid over pressure.
• Make sure there are no air bubbles in the pipe,
particularly if a long and flexible hose is used to tap into
the process pipe. Air bubbles could cause reading fluctuation and errors.

3.3 Tank Installation Options
Submersible:
• Refer to the GF product 3-2250-XX for submersible installations.
(Refer to Signet Submersion Kit 3-0000.707)
Side Tank Mount:
• Install GF ball valve to allow isolation of the sensor for maintenance.
• It is recommended that a 3-8052-1 kit be used to protect the back end of the sensor.
WARNING: Exposing the sensor body to elevated temperature that are different that the tank
fluid temperatures will cause inaccurate reading.

• Connect the 2450 cable directly to a loop device as shown.
4. Digital (S3L) wiring
• All models of the 2450 provide Digital (S3L) output when powered with 5 VDC.
• Connecting the SHIELD to a direct Earth ground may reduce electrical noise interference.
• The maximum Digital (S3L) cable length is dependent upon the instrument to which the sensor is connected.
Consult the instrument manual for details.
• Connect the 2450 cable directly to Digital (S3L) I/O terminals. • When the 2450 includes a junction box, connect the 2450
terminals to any Digital (S3L) I/O port as shown.
• When the 2450 includes a junction box, connect the 2450
terminals to the loop device as shown.

6. 4 to 20 mA Span Adjustment
The 4 to 20 mA endpoint values are independent of one another and may be adjusted in the field. For example, to reduce the 20 mA
endpoint value from the maximum full scale limit set at the factory, but to allow the 4 mA endpoint to remain at 0 psig, perform only the
steps listed in 6.2 below. NOTE: The RED wire, which is not connected during normal 4 to 20 mA operation, assumes an important role
in the following procedures.
6.1 To adjust the 4 mA endpoint in the field:
• Carefully remove the heat shrink tube that is protecting the red wire.
• Expose the sensor to the pressure desired to correspond with 4 mA
(any pressure in the operating range).
• With power applied as described in Section 5, connect the RED wire
to the WHITE wire for 15 seconds.
(After about 10 seconds the output will drop to 3.6 mA and remain
there until the RED wire is disconnected.)
• Disconnect the RED wire from the WHITE wire; the 4 mA endpoint
has been adjusted.
NOTE: The output will act as a switch if the 4 and 20 mA endpoints are
set very near to the same value.
6.2 To adjust the 20 mA endpoint in the field:
• Expose the sensor to the pressure desired to correspond with 20 mA (any pressure in the operating range).
• With power applied as described in Section 5, connect the RED wire to the BLACK wire for 15 seconds.
(After about 10 seconds the output will rise to 22 mA and remain there until the RED wire is disconnected.)
• Disconnect the RED wire from the BLACK wire; the 20 mA endpoint has been adjusted.
NOTE: The output will act as a switch if the 4 and 20 mA endpoints are set very near to the same value.
Minimum span is ±2% of maximum range.
• After adjusting the 4 to 20 mA span, protect the red wire by installing the provided wire nut.
• For easier re-spanning use the Signet 0250 USB to Digital (S3L) Configuration/Diagnostic Tool.
6.3 To restore factory span:
• Disconnect power to the sensor. Wait 10 seconds to allow circuit to discharge.
• Connect the RED wire to the WHITE wire.
• Apply power as described in Section 5, but with the RED wire connected to the WHITE wire for 15 seconds.
(After about 10 seconds the output will drop to 3.6 mA and remain there until the RED wire is disconnected.)
• Disconnect the RED wire from the WHITE wire; factory settings have been restored.
