DESCRIPTION
Setra’s Model 231 Multi-Sense Wet-to-Wet differential pressure transducer all-inclusive design provides
users with field accessible ranging, choice of output
and field zeroing.
Choose from three configurable Model 231 pressure
transducers: 5 up to 50 psid, 10 up to 100 psid, or 25
up to 250 psid. Each Model 231 has 4 unidirectional
and 4 bidirectional switch selectable pressure ranges and can be reconfigured in the field for 0-5 VDC,
1-5 VDC, -0-10 VDC, or 4 to 20 mA output. The Model
231 jumper selectable port swap feature eliminates
costly replumbing if the pressure transducer is improperly installed or replaced. An optional LCD display is available for on-site indication of line and differential pressure.

For differential pressure measurements at high line pressure (250 psig max), it is recommended that the pressure sensor
be installed with a valve in each line, plus a shunt valve across the high and low (reference) pressure ports as shown.

PRESSURE RANGE CODE SELECTOR (IMportant: rEaD BEForE orDErInG)
Examine the pressure application and determine what is the Highest System Line Pressure.
Determine what is the Differential Pressure being measured.
Find the MAX. Line Pressure in the table on the right that is > to your Highest System Line Pressure.
Verify that your DP falls within the selectable ranges in that row.
Follow that row to the left and select that range code.
