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.
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).

When in the <b>Pump Startup</b>, <b>Pump Operating</b> or <b>Backwash</b> state, each tank pressure is briefly shown on the LCD in PSI.  If the value is not valid, <tt>Fault</tt> is shown in place of a pressure value.
