Inspection
Requirements
Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the
appropriate carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the
package and inspect the device for obvious damage.
Return damaged products.
• Tools (not provided)
• Appropriate accessories
• Two #8 self-tapping mounting screws (not provided)
• Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician
Warning:
• Do not use on oxygen service, in an explosive/hazardous
environment, or with flammable/combustible media.
• Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent
electrical shock and equipment damage.
• Make all connections in accordance with the job wiring
diagram and in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. Use copper conductors only.
Caution:

The PR-243 mA output pressure transducers are 4–20 mA output units
powered with a 12–40 VDC supply.
The following describes the proper wiring of these pressure transducers with
mA output:
1. Remove the terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board.
2. Locate the [+] and [-] terminal markings on the board.
3. Attach the supply voltage to the [+] lead.
4. Connect the 4–20 mA output ([-] terminal) to the controller’s input terminal.
5. Ensure that the power supply common is attached to the common bus of
the controller.
6. Re-insert the terminal block to the circuit board and apply power to the unit.
7. Check for the appropriate output signal using an ampmeter set on DC
milliamps connected in series with the [-] terminal.

1. Remove the terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board.
2. Locate the [+], [-] and [0] terminal markings on the board.
3. Attach the power wires to the [+] and [-] terminals. The [-] terminal is also the
negative terminal.
4. Connect the [O] terminal, which is the positive VDC output terminal, to the
controller’s input terminal.

Caution: If you are using grounded AC, the hot wire must be on the [+] terminal. Also, if you are using a controller without built-in isolation, use an
isolation transformer to supply the PR-243 transducer.
Caution: This product contains a half-wave rectifier power supply and must not be powered off transformers used to power other devices utilizing
non-insolated full-wave rectifier power supplies.
Caution: When multiple PR-243 units are powered from the same transformer, damage will result unless all 24G power leads are connected to the same
power lead on all devices. It is mandatory that correct phasing be maintained when powering more than one device from a single transducer.

Operation
CALIBRATION
1. Verify that the unit is mounted in the correct position.
2. Verify appropriate input signal and supply voltage.
CAUTION: Never connect 120 VAC to these transducers.
Never connect AC voltage to a unit intended for DC supply.
3. Verify appropriate configuration range.
This is a rough functional check only.
1. Adjust the pressure to obtain maximum output signal for
appropriate range.
2. Output should be 20 mA or 5 or 10 VDC.
3. Adjust the pressure to obtain minimum output signal.
4. Output should be 4 mA or 0 VDC.
NOTE: The PR-243 is a highly accurate device. For
applications requiring a high degree of accuracy, the use of
laboratory quality meters and gauges are recommended.
All units are factory calibrated to meet or exceed published
specifications. If field adjustment is necessary, follow the
instructions below.
Calibration of PR-243 mA Units
1. Connect terminals [+] and [-] to the appropriate power
source.
2. Connect the DVM in series on the [-] terminal.
3. Apply low pressure to the unit and carefully adjust the zero
trimmer [Z] to obtain desired low output.
4. Apply high pressure to the unit and adjust span trimmer [S]
to obtain the desired high output pressure.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until desired calibration is achieved.
