Four [[Pool Filter Tanks|filter tank]] pressures are monitored by [[Pool Systems Automation#Sensors|sensors]] with internal signal conditioning. When fed by a 24 VDC (each sensor is independently fused), a 1 V to 5 V output corresponds with 0 to 100 psi of pressure. | Four [[Pool Filter Tanks|filter tank]] pressures are monitored by [[Pool Systems Automation#Sensors|sensors]] with internal signal conditioning.

A value is considered valid if the measured voltage is 1 V or greater (less than 1 V suggests an open circuit or failed sensor). The low and high thresholds are somewhat arbitrary | A value is considered valid if the measured voltage is 1 V or greater (less than 1 V suggests an open circuit or failed sensor). The low and high thresholds are somewhat arbitrary and based upon observation. A nominal pressure of 10 psi is assumed (add 8 psi to the limit per PHTA guidelines for a single-gauge backwash threshold). | ||
