    Introduction The EXTSEN units connect a pressure controller (with no internal pressure sensor) to an end-user supplied external pressure transducer. The EXTSEN combines the sensing ability of an existing pressure transducer with an Alicat electronics package and an internal PID algorithm. Example setup The EXTSEN receives a linear analog signal from the external transducer.
  • Page 5: Pinouts

    Pinouts Primary Connector Pinout If ordered only with a standard Alicat 8-pin mini-DIN, M12, 9-pin D-SUB, or 15-pin D-SUB connector, the sensor input pin will replace the secondary analog output pin, unless otherwise specified in the part number or the device is ordered with a secondary sensor input connector.
  • Page 6: Secondary Connector Pinout

    Secondary Connector Pinout EXTSEN pressure controllers may be ordered with a secondary connector specifically for communication and powering the external transducer. Any EXTSEN device that is configured with the industrial protocol board for EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, MODBUS TCP/IP, etc., will need to use a secondary connector for the sensor input.

  • Page 8: Setup Menu

    Setup Menu EXTSEN SETUP Menu provides additional configuration and calibration of the EXTSEN pressure controller. The EXTSEN device can adapt to multiple transducers and ranges in the field. The EXTSEN will be configured for a specific full scale pressure range, input signal, and signal type out of the box.
  • Page 9: Live Cal

    LIVE CAL This menu allows you to perform a live calibration when a pressure transducer or process calibrator is connected the EXTSEN device. Press SET AS ZERO to set the zero point, the pressure reading should go to zero regardless of the transducer input. Then use CAL GAIN to ensure the device reads the desired pressure value at another signal...

    TYPE/RANGE This menu configures the type and range of the connected pressure transducer. TYPE configure the EXTSEN with the • type of pressure (absolute, gauge, or differential) RANGE configure the full scale range of • the pressure transducer BACK return to the EXTSEN Setup Menu •...
  • Page 11: Signal Menu

    SIGNAL MENU This is where the nominal signal range is entered. Common values for signal range are 0–5V, 0–10V, 0.5–4.5V, and 4–20 mA. If the EXTSEN device is calibrated in volts and current is chosen in the SENSE Menu, a sub-menu is shown to specify the sense resistor being used.
