DSA3200-PTP

Environmental Considerations

Both the DSA3217-PTP and DSA3218-PTP modules are
constructed with a rugged, corrosion resistant stainless
steel case. This case is designed with withstand normal
industrial, flight test, educational, wind tunnel or similar
environments. The case is splash resistant but not water
proof. If any moisture gets spilled or splashed on the DSA-
PTP module, wipe it dry immediately to prevent damage to
the module. The DSA-PTP module should not be mounted
outdoors.
The DSA3218-PTP module is designed for more rugged
applications and incorporates internal shock mounts for
vibration isolation, Swagelok® compression fittings on all
pneumatic connections and robust, Bendix/Amphenol con-
nectors for power, serial and Ethernet connections.
Both DSA-PTP modules include a heavy-duty mount-
ing plate and can be mounted in any orientation. Once
mounted, a zero offset calibration (CALZ) can be performed
to remove any offset caused by the module orientation.
The DSA-PTP module should not be mounted in a location
where it may be subjected to extreme temperature shifts
or ambient temperatures outside of the specified operating
range of the module. Keep in mind that the internal tem-
perature of the module will run several degrees warmer
than ambient temperature.
