Fortunately it already has the pinout on it.</div>

Unplug that connector and measure between pins 6 & 5 for -15 VDC, 7 & 5 for +15 VDC. If those are good then it isn't power.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Next open the backshell of that connector and connect probes to 2 & 12 to see if it is reading the same voltage as the cRIO (~4 VDC). If the reading at the sensor matches the cRIO it probably isn't the cabling.</div>

Lastly I would disconnect the detector and open the valves so that sensor is exposed to ambient pressure and see what it reads, if it's still ~400 torr then it is most likely the sensor, but could be the cabling/chassis.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
To eliminate that possibility the sensor would need to be removed and tested on a bench using the same pins as listed above.</div>

I don't think we (DSG) have a direct replacement for that, so I'd try Hall B and if not you'd need to talk with Bob as that involves changing a pressure system component.</div>

The voltage being read back by the cRIO is ~4V which is being converted correctly to ~400 torr.</div>

Can you get the full model number of PT334 so I can better give some suggestions on what you guys could measure to help troubleshoot?</div>

Off-hand some of the things that could be wrong is: the sensor not getting proper supply voltage, a loose connection of the output to the cRIO as it is getting some voltage back, or a bad sensor (let's hope it isn't that as that was the only one we had in that
range).</div>

<div>Hello Brian,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>RTPC abs. Pressure transducer seems not working properly. This should show around 760 torr (~ 1 atm), but showing about 400 torr only. What could be the reason?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
