Check Pressure Sensor

  1. Using new dry cell batteries, connect the battery positive terminal to terminal No. 6 and the battery ground terminal to terminal No. 8, and connect the circuit tester positive terminal to terminal No. 7 and the circuit tester ground terminal to terminal No. 8.
    NOTE:
    • Using a circuit tester, check that the initial voltage of each dry-cell battery is 1.6 V or more. And also check that the voltage of three batteries in series is between 4.8 - 5.2 V.
    • For power supply, 5 V DC constant voltage power source can also be used.

  2. Check the voltage at a normal atmospheric pressure.
    NOTE: The atmospheric pressure at higher altitude is lower than normal. Therefore, the voltage is lower than the standard value.
    Terminal No. Standard
    7 (+) and 8 (-) Approx. 3.5 V (when 25°C (77°F))
  3. Connect the battery positive terminal to terminal No. 3 and the battery ground terminal to terminal No. 4, and check that there is a voltage drop from the voltage measured in step 2) when the vacuum pump is operated.
