FW MURPHY PXT-K Enovation Controls Pressure Transmitters
Pressure Transmitters Installation Instructions
Models: PXT-K and PXT-KM
Please read the following instructions before installing. A visual inspection
of this product for damage during shipping is recommended before mounting. It
is your responsibility to have a qualified person install the transmitter.
This FW Murphy instrument is susceptible to damage when exposed to static
electrical changes. To avoid this damage, observe the following:
- Disconnect all electrical power to the machine.
- Follow the lock-out/tag-out safety procedures of your company. Ensure the machine cannot operate during installation.
- Follow the safety warning of the machine manufacturer.
- Read and follow all installation instructions.
PXT-K Series
The PXT-K (PA/PR 23SYEi) Series pressure transmitters are state-of-the-art instruments providing 4-20 mA outputs. Each pressure transmitter contains a transducer comprised of a piezoresistive silicon chip mounted on a glass-metal feedthrough header welded into a stainless steel housing and filled with silicone oil. The very thin laser-welded stainless steel isolation diaphragm completes the front side. Media pressure is transferred from the stainless steel isolation diaphragm via the oil inside the cell to the silicon-measuring chip. This construction, combined with the advanced internal signal conditioning circuitry, results in a rugged instrument with extremely small temperature error and class-leading EMI/RFI resistance.
Operating Range Chart
Supply voltage for the PXT-K must be within range of 8-30 VDC. The graph below shows the minimum supply voltage (VDC) required for a given load resistance (R).

Installation Precautions
- Pulsating pressure variations caused by liquid or gasses under pressure can destroy any pressure transmitter and should be avoided. To avoid damaging surges and hammers:
- Apply pressure slowly and open/close valves gradually.
- Install a surge chamber or a pressure snubber. Such as our PD8100 Series Pulsation Dampener as an option. Contact FW Murphy for details or check www.fwmurphy.com.
- Symptoms of fluid hammer and surge damage:
- The pressure transmitter exhibits an output at zero pressure (large zero offset).
- Pressure transmitter output remains constant regardless of pressure.
- In severe cases, there will be no output.

MOUNTING
Caution: Transmitters are precision instruments. Do not install in a manner that causes side stress or is subject to excessive vibration.
- Transmitters can be mounted on any axis with negligible position error as long as it is perpendicular to the flow being monitored.
- Mount the transmitter where there is minimum vibration.
- Apply Teflon tape/sealant to the pressure-fitting threads before installing.
- When tightening, apply a wrench to the hex wrench flats located just above the pressure fitting. DO NOT tighten by using a pipe wrench on the housing.
Caution: Readings may be incorrect if the vent tube becomes blocked or bent (kinked). Keep reference vent tube unobstructed and free from excessive moisture or liquid ingress (400 psi and below).
Noise
Recommendations for minimum noise susceptibility:
- Avoid running the transmitter cabling in a conduit that contains high voltage AC power cables or the ignition loom on an engine.
- Avoid running the cable near inductive equipment, where possible.
- Shielded cable is always recommended.
- PXT-K Series products are not constructed to be isolated, and the shield/drain should not be grounded in the panel. (NOTE: A typical shield/drain is isolated from the transmitter body and should be grounded on the panel end only. The PXT-K Series products drain wire should not be grounded in the panel.)
