Our low cost Series 668 Differential Pressure Transmitter is capable of
measuring low pressures with a ±1% accuracy ideally suited for proper
building pressurization and air flow control. Transmitters can withstand
up to 10 psig overpressure with no damage to the unit. Variable capac-
itance sensor design provides excellent sensitivity and long-term stabil-
ity. Compact, lightweight design makes installation simple and easy.
Units also feature reverse-polarity protection.
INSTALLATION
Mounting
The 668 Series is designed for mounting in either a switch box or by
using the two (2) holes that are provided on the housing. Optimum per-
formance is obtained by isolating the instrument from vibration and pro-
viding relatively clean, dry ambient air to the pressure ports. In most
cases, preferred installation is with the baseplate mounted vertically and
located on a relatively flat surface in a junction box or attached to a near-
by beam.
CAUTION: The axis most sensitive to vibration is the one perpendicular
to the mounting base. Avoid mounting with maximum vibration along the
axis.
Pressure Fitting
Two (2) 3/16˝ O.D. pressure fittings are supplied for pressure connec-
tion with 1/4˝ push-on tubing. Both the positive (high) pressure port and
the reference (low) pressure port are located on the top face of the unit,
labeled High and Low respectively. For best results (shortest response
times), 3/16˝ I.D. tubing is suggested for tubing lengths up to 100 feet
long, 1/4˝ I.D. for tubing lengths up to 300 feet, and 3/8˝ I.D. for tubing
lengths up to 900 feet.
