OPERATING PRINCIPLE 
The PT100 Series Industrial Transducer is used to 
make pressure measurements for hydraulic 
applications and corrosive media up to 10,000 psi. 
These models incorporate a four-arm, 350-ohm bonded 
foil Wheatstone bridge strain gage. An amplifier can be 
added to this proven technology to provide a high-level 
output signal (e.g. 0 – 5 V dc or 0 – 10Vdc) proportional 
to the pressure (within the specified error band). 
SHUNT CALIBRATION 
Internal – All 100 Series transducers contain an 
internal Shunt Calibration resistor, R-CAL, which 
provides a simulated output of 80% of full scale when 
pins E and F are shorted. 
External – The model PT130 also provides an output of 
80% of full scale when a 34,935-ohm Shunt Calibration 
resistor is placed across pins B and D. External R-CAL 
feature is not available on models PT160 and PT150. 
NOTE: The internal and external R-CAL should not be 
used at the same time because incorrect readings will 
result. 
PRESSURE FITTING 
The pressure fitting on all 100 Series transducers 
contains a 1/8”-27 NPT internal pressure port. The 
fitting is fabricated from high-strength stainless steel. 
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS  
All models are equipped with a six pin, Bendix PT02A10-6P receptacle. The customer supplied mating plug is 
a socket, Bendix PT06A-10-6S, or equivalent.
