Re: Pressure sensor trouble

Iv,
Are you sure you are using a pressure switch and not the pressure transducer? The switch should measure shorted (0 ohms) until the pressure reaches about 125-135 psi. The pressure switch has two screw terminals on opposite sides of the device.

It is possible to get the insulation of the wire under the screw terminal on the pressure switch. That would prevent you from giving the proper input to the Crio.
