Pressure transducers

[village_idiot]

I bought (2) 1/8 npt transducers to incorporate into my pro link. One is 100psi. One is 500psi. Both are advertised as 0-5v.

How would you go about setting these up in the scanner?

[07GTS]

as long as u have the analogue inputs to use then u just need a 5v reference voltage then the offsets range for it to show the right pressure, same as setting a analogue wideband up

[village_idiot]

Currently I am using 1 analog for my WB, but I have been told that I can use it on my CAN wires and it operates the same. If thats the case, I will move it there, and then install 2 pin connectors on A1 and A2. Then I can exchange sensors as needed.

Primarily I will use the 100psi for fuel pressure since Gen 3 doesnt report it, and use my 500psi for trans line pressure.

yea if u can get the calibration scale from the manufacture ((volts/psi)+offset) thats all u have to enter in the ''transform'' function when u set it up

100 psi
Input: 0-100 psi

Output: 0.5V~4.5V linear voltage output. 0 psi outputs 0.5V, 50 psi outputs 2.5V, 100 psi outputs 4.5V.

Accuracy: within 2% of reading (full scale).

Thread: 1/8"-27 NPT

Wiring Connector: Water sealed quick disconnect. Mating connector and wire harness (pigtail) is included.

Wiring: Red for +5V; Black for ground; Blue for signal output.



500 psi
Input: 0-500 psi (Gauge Pressure)

Output: 0.5-4.5V linear voltage output. 0 psi outputs 0.5V, 250 psi outputs 2.5V, and 500 psi outputs 4.5V.

Accuracy: +/-1%FS

Thread: 1/8" NPT

Wiring: Red for +5V; Black for ground; Yellow (Green) for signal output

Overload Capacity: 2-4 times of rated pressure

Working Temperature: -40℃~+120℃

Compensation Temperature: 0℃~+80℃

Protection Class: IP67



This is the info they supplied. Is anything else needed?

[village_idiot]

I hope to try this tomorrow

[07GTS]

ok for the hpt scanner inputs
the 0-100psi transform will be (input / 0.0400) + -12.5
the 0-500psi transform will be (input / 0.008 ) + -62.5

Who makes the sensors?

[village_idiot]

MNJWS off of Amazon

[gtstorey]

What are you using for the 5v supply?

[village_idiot]

12v to 5v DC converter

[Keith@HPTuners]

Can you provide a link to the sensors? I was unable to find them.

I can do this if you need.. but if you google search y=mx+b calculator or something like that you should be able to find a site you can input x and y values and get a linear function.

You can also graph it in excel and it will give you the formula for the line.

Alvin is the values 07GTS posted above not correct?

On the trial run of setting this all up, I will run a T fitting or whatever is necessary to hook a mechanical gauge in as well on the first few to verify they are scaled correctly

07GTS's formulas look right to me.

You can easily check yourself..


plug the x's in and see if it gives you your Y's.

so .5v = 0 psi
2.5v = 50psi
4.5 = 100 psi

[village_idiot]

Good point
