DESCRIPTION
The AccuSenseTM Model ASM pressure transducer is a high performance pressure transducer designed for accurate, reliable pressure measurements. It has a
high level analog output signal, excellent stability, and secure calibration which
makes it ideal for high performance industrial, laboratory, and engine test cell
applications.
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
Every Model ASM has been tested and calibrated before shipment. Specific
performance specifications are shown on page 3 of this Guide. Setra Systems
ASM pressure transducers sense gauge, absolute, or vacuum gauge pressure and
convert this pressure difference to a proportional high level analog output. Voltage outputs of 0 to 5VDC or 0 to 10VDC, and current output of 4 to 20 mA are
offered.
2.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
2.1 Media Compatibility
Model ASM transducers are designed for use with gases and liquids compatible
with 17-4PH stainless steel.
2.2 Environment
The operating temperature limits of the ASM are -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to
+185°F)
The compensated temperature range is -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F)
2.3 Pressure Fittings
Available pressure fittings are given in table below:

2.4 Installation of Pressure Fittings
Your transducer is designed for the most accurate operation when subjected to
pressures within the designated pressure range. Refer to page 4 for proof pressure limits.
Standard sealants such as Teflon pipe tape generally are satisfactory on NPT
threads. For the most sensitive pressure ranges, excessive high torquing of a
metal pressure fitting may cause slight zero shift which may be trimmed out
using the zero adjustment. Use of a plastic fitting often shows no noticeable zero
shift. The torquing effect does not appreciably affect linearity or sensitivity. The
3/4 in. wrench flat (Hex) on the unit must be used when installing the positive
pressure fitting.

CAUTION: Connecting -EXC to positive excitation and +Sig to negative excitation at the same time may damage the unit.
3.2 Voltage Output Units
The Model ASM voltage units are four-wire type circuit with 0-5VDC or 010VDC analog output.
3.3 Current Output Units
The Model ASM current units are a two-wire loop-powered 4 to 20mA current
output and delivers rated current into any external load of 0 to 800 ohms.
The current flows into the + terminal and returns back to the power supply
through the - terminal (See Diagram 1). The power supply must be a DC voltage
2
source with a voltage range between 9 and 30 VDC measured between the +
and - terminals. The unit is calibrated at the factory with a 24 VDC loop supply
voltage.
3.4 Cable for Bayonet Connectors
For good EMC performance, shielded cable shall be used and grounded to earth
ground. Cable shall only be used within a building and not be longer than 30 m
(100 ft.).

4.0. CALIBRATION
The ASM transducer is factory calibrated and should require no field adjustment if mounted in a vertical position. Whenever possible, any zero and/or span
offsets should be corrected by software adjustment in the user’s control system.
However, fine zero and span adjustments can be made through use of Secure-
TM
Cal
accessory (purchased separately) for calibration access. The Model ASM
transducer zero offset is trimmed in the vertical position (pressure port pointing
downward) prior to shipping from factory.
4.1 Zero/Span Adjustments with Secure-Cal
TM
To make secure zero and span adjustments, attach SecureCalTM accessory to
ASM pressure transducer. (See Diagram 2).
4.2 Zero Adjustment
While applying zero pressure, zero offset may be adjusted by pressing the
send button to tare zero. If fine adjustment is needed on analog output, turn the
3
encoder wheel until desired compensation is seen on display.
Example for Voltage Output: If 0.0025 VDC is measured, where 0 VDC is
desired, turn wheel until -2.5mV is attained, then press send button.
Example for Current Output: If 3.990 mA is read on current meter, turn
wheel until +0.01 mA is attained, then press send button.
Zero adjustment should be done prior to span. To get better results, always wait
until unit has warmed-up before making any adjustment.
4.3 Span Adjustment
Span or full scale output adjustments should only be performed by using an
accurate pressure standard (electronic calibrator, dead weight tester, digital pressure gauge, etc.) with greater or at least comparable accuracy to the ASM transducer. With full range pressure applied to the high pressure port, the span may
be adjusted by pressing the send button to set span. If fine adjustment is needed
on span, and control pressure is applied at full pressure range, turn encoder until
target correction is achieved on LCD then press send button.
