DESCRIPTION
 -
sure transducer all-inclusive design provides users with eld 
accessible ranging, choice of output and eld zeroing. 
Choose from three congurable pressure transducers: 5 up 
to 50 psid, 10 up to 100 psid, or 25 up to 250 psid. Each Model 
231 has 4 unidirectional and 4 bidirectional switch selectable 
pressure ranges and can be recongured in the eld for 0-5 
231 jumper selectable port swap feature eliminates costly 
replumbing if the pressure transducer is improperly installed 
or replaced. An optional LCD display is available for on-site 
indication of line and dierential pressure.
