==== Filter Tank Pressure ====
==== Filter Tank Pressure ====


All four filter tank pressures are monitored independently.
Four filter tank pressures are monitored by 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.
 
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).
