Sensors and 
Transducers
3.5.1
Pressure Transducers
Emerson Retail Solutions transducers convert pressure 
readings to proportional electrical signals between 0.5 and 
4.5 volts. The transducer is designed with a 1/8-inch male 
FPT fitting for connection to a standard access fitting. If 
the fitting is configured with a Schrader valve, this fitting 
will have to be removed and replaced with a 1/8-inch 
female fitting. Each pressure transducer is supplied with 
20 feet of cable for connection to a 16AI input board.
3.5.1.1
Mounting
The pressure transducers should be mounted in a verti-
cal position (pressure port down) above crank case oil 
level to prevent drainage of oil into transducer port.
3.5.2
Inside Temperature Sensor
3.5.2.1
Location
Inside temperature sensors are supplied within a wall-
mounted enclosure for attachment to a standard switch 
plate.
The temperature sensor should be located in a central 
location—within the zone to be measured—away from 
doors, windows, vents, heaters, and outside walls that 
could affect temperature readings. In addition, the sensor 
should not be mounted above other sensors that generate 
heat during operation (such as relative humidity sensors). 
The indoor temperature sensor should be between four 
and six feet from the floor.
3.5.2.2
Mounting
Mount the sensor using the screws provided as shown 
Figure 3-19

Outside Temperature 
Sensor
3.5.3.1
Location
The outside or ambient temperature sensor should be 
located on the north side of the building, preferably under 
an eave to prevent sun-heated air from affecting the tem-
perature of the sensor.
3.5.3.2
Mounting
The temperature sensor may be mounted using any 
standard tubing clamp. Emerson Retail Solutions also 
offers an aluminum cover and clamp (P/N 303-1111) 
which may be mounted as shown in Figure 3-20 (fasteners 
are not provided).
