Mechanical Instructions Page 3 SECTION 1 MECHANICAL INSTRUCTIONS 1.1 PROCESS FLUID FITTING When removing or attaching the microcap to the pressure sensor, follow the procedures below: Removal Use a 11/16” hex wrench on the process end fitting and a spanner wrench (McMaster PN: 5472A1) 2.
1.2 CONSUMABLES The following 0-rings may need to be replaced during the life of the sensor: Number O-Rings Size Qty. Material Electronics Housing 1 & 3 DN-014 PEEK Back-Up Ring 2 & 4 E-H O-Ring DN-014 FFKM Process-Side O-Ring M14 x 1mm PTFE *Note: The O-rings in the above table are not compatible with acetone.

2.5 LIFE TIME EXPECTANTCY NOTE: Operating at extreme temperatures can and will dramatically reduce life expectancy. The expected lifetimes above were observed in a dry environment where both the electronics and pressure fittings were subject to atmosphere. XS-HTI-4 is not rated for operation beyond 175°C and 10000psi; accuracy and quality will not be guaranteed.
SECTION 3 SOFTWARE/COMMUNICATIONS SET UP 3.1 PRESSURE MEASURMENT WALK THROUGH To start interfacing with the XtalX pressure transducer begin by: Using a FTDI Serial Cable or preferably the provided TTL-232R-3V3 FTDI cable connect to the Sensor male DIP pins Pushing The brown Male pin into the Black Female port on the FTDI Cable. If there is no male header attached to the DDQS transducer, follow the following Silk Screen to FTDI color connection Matrix when soldering and or connecting to your FTDI cable.
