Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product:

• Ensure the power supply (DC 5V) matches the sensor's requirements. Incorrect voltage can damage the device.
• Disconnect power before making any electrical connections or disconnections.
• Install the sensor in a system where the pressure does not exceed the rated 150PSI.
• Use appropriate sealing materials (e.g., thread sealant tape) to prevent leaks when installing the 1/8" NPT thread.
• Avoid exposing the sensor to corrosive substances that may degrade stainless steel.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the sensor, as this will void the warranty and may cause malfunction.

Specifications

Setup

Follow these steps for proper installation of your pressure sensor:

1. Prepare the Installation Point: Ensure the system where the sensor will be installed is depressurized and free of any media. The connection point should have a compatible 1/8" NPT female thread.
2. Apply Thread Sealant: Apply an appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or liquid sealant) to the 1/8" NPT male thread of the sensor to ensure a leak-proof seal.
3. Install the Sensor: Carefully screw the sensor into the prepared connection point. Tighten it securely, but do not overtighten, as this can damage the sensor or the system's threads.
4. Electrical Connection: Connect the sensor's cable to your control system. The sensor requires a DC 5V power input. The output is a linear voltage signal from 0.5V to 4.5V, corresponding to the 0-150 PSI pressure range. Refer to your system's wiring diagram for correct pin assignments.
5. Verify Connections: Double-check all mechanical and electrical connections to ensure they are secure and correct.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and connected, the pressure sensor operates by converting the applied pressure into a proportional electrical voltage. This voltage can then be read by a compatible monitoring or control system.

• Power On: Apply DC 5V power to the sensor.
• Monitor Output: The sensor will immediately begin outputting a voltage signal corresponding to the detected pressure.
• Interpretation: The output voltage ranges from 0.5V (representing 0 PSI) to 4.5V (representing 150 PSI). Your control system should be calibrated to interpret this voltage range accurately.
• Continuous Measurement: The sensor provides continuous, real-time pressure data, allowing for dynamic monitoring and control of your system.

Maintenance

The Akozon Pressure Sensor is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. However, regular checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the sensor and its cable for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or wear.
• Connection Integrity: Ensure all electrical and threaded connections remain tight and free from leaks.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure no moisture enters the electrical connector.
• Storage: If storing the sensor, keep it in a dry, clean environment within its specified operating temperature range.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your pressure sensor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Output or Incorrect Reading:
  • Check if the sensor is receiving the correct DC 5V power supply.
  • Verify all electrical connections are secure and correctly wired.
  • Ensure the pressure being measured is within the 0-150 PSI range of the sensor.
  • Inspect the sensor for any visible damage.
  • Confirm your monitoring system is correctly calibrated to interpret the 0.5V-4.5V output.
• Pressure Leakage at Connection Point:
  • Ensure sufficient thread sealant was applied during installation.
  • Check if the sensor is tightened adequately (without overtightening).
  • Inspect the threads of both the sensor and the system for damage.
• Intermittent Readings:
  • Check for loose electrical connections or damaged wiring.
  • Ensure the operating environment is stable and within the specified temperature range.
