DSA3218-PTP Configurations

The DSA3218-PTP is available in 4 basic pressure configura-
tions and has 2 optional hardware configurations.

DSA3218-PTP/16Px

The basic DSA3218-PTP/16Px module provides 16 chan-
nels of the same 'gauge' pressure range sensors. These 16
pressure transducers are configured into two (2) groups of
eight (8) each. Each group of eight (8) transducers shares a
common calibration valve and a common reference mani-
fold. Single range modules tie the two reference manifolds
together and the two calibration valves to provide the
user with a single reference and a single calibration port to
connect to. Figure 2.8 depicts the top panel of a standard
DSA3217-PTP/16Px.

DSA3218-PTP/16Px - Dual Range

The DSA3218-PTP/16Px module is available as a dual-range
module, offering eight (8) channels of one pressure range
and eight (8) channels of a different pressure range. Like a
standard DSA3218-PTP, each group of eight (8) transducers
share a common calibration valve and a common reference
manifold. However, in dual range modules the reference
manifolds and the calibration valves are not tied together
and separate reference and calibration ports are provided
on the top of the module. They are labeled CAL A, CAL B,
REF A and REF B. Figure 2.9 depicts the top panel of a dual
range DSA3218-PTP/16Px module.

DSA3218-PTP/8DPx - Differential

For differential pressure measurement applications, the
DSA3218-PTP can be configured with eight (8) differen-
tial pressure transducers. They are arranged into two (2)
groups of four (4) transducers. Like the DSA3218-PTP/16Px,
each group of transducers has a dedicated calibration valve.
