Hi

My first posting by reply so see if it works....

I am installing a circuit that measures a small pressure . The=20
display circuit will be about 25 feet from the source. I am wondering=20
if it is better to have the transducer as close to the source as=20
possible and run the wires to the display board or locate the=20
transducer in the display case and run the 1/4" tubing from the=20
pressure source to the transducer. I am guessing that I may need to=20
install a buffer/driver op amp at the source if the transducer is=20
located there but by moving the transducer, I would cause (I think)=20
error due to the length of tubing (1/4" plastic).

The pressure is in the range of 1-2 psi and the sensor signal is 1-3 volts.

The sensor is similar to this=20

Advice?

Thanks
