ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. WIRING DIAGRAM
Depending on connector below :
2. CABLE+GROUND (26AWG, 6WIRE, SHIELD)
Shield may have to be connected to ground in a
high noise environment. Do not connect to meter.
3. ZERO ADJUSTMENT
To compensate for pressure drift caused by temp changes.
At operating temperature with no pressure on transducer,
adjust the pressure indicating device to read “0”
4. SPAN ADJUSTMENT
To calibrate readout device to transducer.
Press “CALIBRATE” and adjust reading to read 80% SPAN.

GENERAL OPERATIONAL GUIDES
1. START UP
Before starting the extruder drive, ensure that the extruder is at operational temperature and plastic at tip is molten.
A cold start can literally rip o the fragile diaphragm.
2. REMOVAL
Only remove transducer when barrel is at operational temperature and zero pressure.
Always clean hole of all solids before re-installing.
Check hole dimensions with thread gauge of cleaning kit to ensure proper hole. Hole size at tip can reduce over time.
Always remove transducer before cleaning inside barrel with abrasive cleaner or wire brush.
3. CLEANING TIP
Clean tip lightly with a dry cloth while tip is still hot.
Do not use any sharp tools (screwdriver, chisel, knife, wire brush etc.)

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Indicator Full Scale Check Continuity Of Cables
2. Indicator Unstable Reading Check Continuity Of Cables
3. Indicator Reads Only “0” Perform Calibration.
If Doesn’t Change - Send Instrument In For Anaysis
4. Indicates Wrong Pressure Perform Calibration
If Still Incorrect - Send Transducer In For Analysis
HOLE CLEANING KIT
TDMP-1-CLEANKIT
Kit is used to clean transducer hole before insertion to
prevent diaphragm damage.
HOLE CUTTING KIT
TDMP-1-CUTTINGKIT
All the Drills, Reamers and Taps required to drill a
proper hole for standard transducers (1/2-20UNF).
