[dsg-hallb_rtpc] [EXTERNAL] Re: Pressure transducer of RTPC

Tue Jul 28 10:44:58 EDT 2020

Hello all,

We have two differential transducer (PDTs): RTPC-DMS (PDT332) and RTPC-Buffer(PDT208). So I am taking about RTPC-DMS pressure transducer. I have only this photo right now, where you can see one two wires are coming out from PDT.

Thank you,
Jiwan

I have no idea.( see attached) I think it should show zero. I compare PDT208(rtpc-buffer) reading removing cable from chassis, and it shows zero.

I did not reconnect the connector for the PDT 208 (differential pressure DMS to RTPC) because I could not verify if the contacts are wired correctly since it was reconnected, because the magnet beacon is on. I have attached a pinout which can be used to verify connections prior to plugging it back into the interface chassis.
