Question transducer

I know we need the pressure switch, but do you have to mount the transducer?

Re: transducer

you don't have to have it I believe...you would just need to have it inline with the part of the circuit (pnuematic) that you want an exact pressure from at any given time.....you can read it out through the dashboard, or use it in your program....gl

Re: transducer

It just says it is for giving you a presure readout, it doesn't say if you need it or not.

We have left ours off. We don't plan to monitor the system pressure so it would be a waste to incorporate it.

Re: transducer

No, it isn't required, only optional if you want more control over your pressure. We (548) are using ours, and are looking to collect a few spares. If any of you that aren't using it would be willing to trade, let me know.
Thanks,
Josh

Re: transducer

We added the transducer yesterday. It was very easy, and I think it will give us much better control than the pressure switch.

I wasn't able to find any schematics for connecting it to the analog-in anywhere, but I guessed red-red, black-black, green-white and that seemed to work.

Eric.
