    Pressure Sensor Behavior

    Hi, just wanted to provide an update. It appears that what is happening is that the DC brush-less motor and controller are radiating a significant amount of noise. Some of my sensors are installed in stainless steel pipes that have no electrical connection to the frame of the power plant. The...

    Pressure Sensor Behavior

    Thanks again, I appreciate it. It sounds like the pressure sensor is experiencing saturation resulting from a ground loop situation. I wonder if the sensor has been damaged making it more susceptible? I am currently putting all your ideas into a test procedure that I can run on my next trip...
