Pressure Transducer
AST5300 | AST53ED | AST53EN
Overview
The AST5300 offers low differential pressure measurement ranges in
high line pressure applications with excellent burst pressure
capabilities. The AST5300 has no oil filled cavities and no internal
o-rings to fail, making it ideal for food and beverage, oil & gas,
pharmaceuticals, semiconductor industries and cold ambients.

Line Pressure
The line pressure specification is the maximum pressure the AST5300 can see without damage. Any
pressure applied over the listed number will likely damage the transducer and will, at minimum, cause a
permanent zero shift. Line pressure should be applied evenly to both ports during start up and shut down.
[A Line pressure of 500 psi or less can be applied to one pressure port with the other port at 0psi and will not
cause a zero shift of the output. Pressure above 500 PSI to one side may cause a temporary zero shift.]
To recover from a zero shift caused by negative over-pressure to “L” (low / downstream process connection)
within the listed limits, apply a positive over-pressure “H” (high / upstream process connection) to 1,450 PSI
for a duration of five minutes. Remove the over-pressure and check the zero with no pressure applied. If the
zero has not recovered, repeat the positive over-pressure and recheck zero. If it has not recovered after the
second try, the zero has been permanently shifted. Contact the factory.
