300 psi pressure transmitter for industrial

The Ashcroft K17M0242C1 is a new electronic pressure transmitter designed for test and measurement applications. It measures gauge pressure from 0 to 300 psi and outputs a 4 to 20mA DC signal over a two-wire loop. The Series K1 housing is grey LLDPE rated NEMA 4X and IP67 for harsh environments.

Install with 1/4 in male NPT

The process connection is a 1/4 in male NPT thread that seals directly into a female port. Electrical wiring enters through a 1/2 in MNPT conduit connection to cable and wire leads. Common issues include cross-threading the NPT fitting or exceeding the 10 to 36V DC supply range, which can damage the transmitter.

Verify supply voltage

Ensure your system provides 10 to 36V DC to power the two-wire loop. Confirm the process media temperature stays between -20 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Check that the 1/4 in NPT thread and 1/2 in conduit entry match your existing piping and conduit infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the transmitter is working after wiring it to a 10 to 36V DC supply?

Apply power and confirm the output reads 4 mA at 0 psi and 20 mA at 300 psi; the accuracy is +/-1% of full scale so the signal should stay within that band.

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The transmitter with 1/4 in male NPT process connection and 1/2 in MNPT conduit entry is included; you must provide the 10 to 36V DC power source and any mating cable or conduit.

Which pressure range should I choose for my application?

This model is fixed at 0 to 300 psi with a 4 to 20 mA output; select it only if your process pressure falls within that span and the NEMA 4X / IP67 rating suits the environment.
