BDI PSW-100-5 Pressure Sensor 0-15 Lbs/In2 (5 Volts)

Accurate Remote Line Pressure Monitoring

The Broadcast Devices PSW-100-5 is a precision remote meter display and pressure sensor designed to provide reliable pressure readings for broadcast transmission systems. Serving as an accessory for the DPS-100D True RMS Power Meter series, or as a stand-alone unit, it is engineered to integrate seamlessly with most modern remote control system metering inputs. This sensor delivers consistent, accurate monitoring of line pressure to help maintain peak system performance and prevent costly downtime.

Versatile Integration with Remote Control Systems

The PSW-100-5 operates on a 5 VDC power supply and outputs a 0–4.5 VDC signal that corresponds directly to 0–15 pounds per square inch (PSI) of line pressure. This standardized output makes it compatible with a wide range of remote control systems used in broadcast facilities. Whether connected to the DPS-100D or installed independently, the PSW-100-5 provides clear and dependable readings for real-time monitoring.

Durable Design for Broadcast Environments

Built for demanding on-air and transmission conditions, the PSW-100-5 is constructed with rugged components to ensure long-lasting performance. Its threaded connector fits standard pressure ports, allowing quick and secure installation on pressurized transmission lines. A tight seal is easily achieved with Teflon tape, ensuring the system maintains proper pressurization during operation.

Simple Installation and Setup Process

Installing the PSW-100-5 is straightforward. Simply thread the sensor into the pressure port, allow the dehydrator or nitrogen system to re-pressurize, and connect the wiring to your remote control system. With clearly defined wiring for ground and signal outputs, and a plug-in 5 VDC power pack included, the setup process is quick and efficient. Scaling the readings can be completed following your remote control system manufacturer’s guidelines.

Reliable Readings for Preventive Maintenance

Continuous and accurate pressure monitoring is critical for avoiding signal degradation or equipment damage. The PSW-100-5 ensures you always have up-to-date pressure data, allowing broadcast engineers to quickly detect leaks or irregularities in the transmission line system. This proactive approach can help reduce unplanned outages and extend the life of your broadcast infrastructure.
