Ruskin’s AMS series are the most versatile pressure
transducers on the market with selectable
pressure ranges and selectable voltage or current
output to satisfy the most demanding air measure-
ment applications. Switch selectable fast or slow
response time provides the ability to smooth out
velocity pressure measurements that are the result
of less than ideal installation locations and turbulent
air flows.
The LCD display shows the actual velocity pressure
independent of the output pressure range selected.
This makes it extremely easy for the installing tech-
nician to know what pressure range to use for each
application. With the maximum air flow passing
through the air measurement station just look at the
displayed value and select the lowest range that
includes the pressure. t’s that easy! By selecting
the correct pressure range, the electrical output can
be scaled for the greatest measurement resolution
and corresponding air flow control.
At a glance troubleshooting can save hours of work.
The three LEDS on the face of the AMS series
low-pressure transducer, above the display, indi-
cate when the velocity pressure being measured is
“Out of Range Low” (or negative), “Out of Range
High” or operating as expected when the “ n
Range” LED is illuminated.

AMS Series Transducer with Display
1. Select OUTPUT
2. Select RANGE
f unit is ordered with a Custom Range,
then the switch must be set to R6.
3. Choose D RECT ON
Bidirectional is a plus/minus range so
choosing 5” range is -5” to +5” Bidirectional
and 0” to +5” Unidirectional
4. Choose UN TS - nches WC or PASCALS
5. Choose RESPONSE T ME
Fast Response = 1/2 second
Slow Response = 4 seconds
6. Mount, Terminate and Auto-Zero the unit
as described in later sections. Attach
the deadhead tubing to the ports during
Auto-Zeroing
