Our low cost Series 668B/D Compact Differential Pressure Transmitter is capable of
sensing differential gage pressure with ±0.8% FS accuracy, and converts this pressure
difference to a proportional high level analog output for both unidirectional and bidirectional pressure ranges. Transmitters can withstand up to 15 psig overpressure
with no damage to the unit. The compact, lightweight design makes installation
simple and easy. Units are protected against incorrect wiring, and include a protective
terminal cover.
INSTALLATION
Work on electrical installations must only be carried out by electricians who are
specically trained for this purpose.
CAUTION
can cause electrical shock and equipment may be damaged.
Risk of Shock: Disconnect power supply before making electrical
connections. Contact with components carrying hazardous voltage

The Series 668B/D is designed to be used with 3/16˝ I.D. push-on tubing. The high
pressure port and the low pressure port are labeled “+” and “-” respectively. For best
results (shortest response times), 3/16˝ I.D. tubing is suggested for tubing lengths up
to 80 feet (25 meters), 1/4˝ I.D. for tubing lengths up to 250 feet (75 meters) and 3/8˝
I.D. for tubing up to 720 feet (220 meters).
The table below shows the maximum wire and receiver resistances as a function of
supply voltage (See Figure 1).
Vmin Vmax Rmin Rmax RL at Supply Voltage (Vs)

Example: If the Supply Voltage is 24 VDC, RL≤50(24-12)=600 Ω, the load resistance
should not exceed 600 Ω.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT
The 668B/D has a 0 to 5 or 0 to 10 VDC output in a 3-wire conguration, with three
terminals available for wiring. These terminals have the designation “+”, “O”, and
“-” (See Figure 2). The power supply and signal references are commoned on the
circuit (See Figure 3), and the 668B/D voltage output can operate from 12 to 32 VDC
power supply. The unit is calibrated at the factory with a 24 VDC power supply, 50 KΩ
load resistor.
O
Connect the “+” terminal to the positive terminal of the DC power supply.
Connect the “O” terminal to the positive terminal of the control or pressure monitor.
Connect the “-” terminal as the reference for the power supply and output signal.
CURRENT OUTPUT
The 668B/D current output is a 2-wire loop-powered 4 to 20 mA current output unit and
delivers rated current into any external load to 0 to 1000 Ω. These terminals have the
designation of “+” and “-” (See Figure 2). The current ows into the “+” terminal and
returns back to the power supply through the “-” terminal (See Figure 4). The 668B/D
current output can operate from 12 to 32 VDC power supply. The unit is calibrated at
the factory with a 24 VDC loop supply voltage and a 250 Ω load resistor.
CALIBRATION
The 668B/D transmitter is calibrated in the vertical mounting position at the factory.
The zero adjustment is accessible under the terminal cover of the unit in case there is
a zero shift when using other positions.
Zero Adjustment
While monitoring the output of the unit with both pressure ports open to atmosphere,
the zero may be adjusted by turning the zero adjustment screw.
Voltage Output:
Unidirectional Pressure Ranges: 0 VDC
Bi-directional Pressure Ranges: 2.5 VDC or 5.0 VDC
Current Output:
Unidirectional Pressure Ranges: 4 mA
Bi-directional Pressure Ranges: 12 mA
MAINTENANCE/REPAIR
Upon nal installation of the Series 668B/D transmitter no routine maintenance is
required. The Series 668B/D transmitter is not eld serviceable and should be returned
if repair is needed. Field repair should not be attempted and may void warranty.
