Smart Dual Pressure Transducer (SDPT)

Designed to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in the heavy vehicle and construction industries, the SDPT incorporates the same, fieldproven, pressure-sensing technology found in AMETEK’s family of Interface Modules. The SDPT combines two independent pressure sensors, signal conditioning electronics, data bus interface electronics, and a six-pin, self-locking, sealed Packard MetriPack® connector in a compact, environmentally sealed, polymer package.

Powered by the vehicle’s ignition power, the SDPT eliminates the need for pressurized airlines and hoses behind the dash for instrumentation purposes. The SDPT uses the vehicle data bus to provide both pressure information and a low-high pressure indication that is suitable for driving a warning light.

Designed for vehicular braking applications in which reliability and durability are of prime importance, it can be incorporated into a variety of pressure and/or vacuum monitoring systems, making it the ideal solution for your pressure monitoring applications.

How does the AMETEK VIS Smart Dual Pressure Transducer simplify pressure monitoring?

The AMETEK VIS Smart Dual Pressure Transducer converts pressure or vacuum readings from two independent sources into digital data and broadcasts that information over the J1939 CAN or J1587 vehicle data bus.

Why do OEMs use the AMETEK VIS SDPT instead of running pressure lines into the cab?

The AMETEK VIS SDPT eliminates the need to route pressurized lines or hoses behind the dashboard by transmitting pressure information electronically through the vehicle data bus.

What vehicle systems can the AMETEK VIS SDPT monitor?

The AMETEK VIS SDPT can monitor brake line pressure, pedal application pressure, auxiliary air pressure, turbo boost pressure, suspension pressure, engine manifold vacuum, filter restriction vacuum, and central tire inflation systems.

How does the AMETEK VIS SDPT improve vehicle diagnostics and safety?

The AMETEK VIS SDPT provides real-time pressure information and warning indications over the vehicle data bus, helping operators identify abnormal pressure conditions quickly.

Why is the AMETEK VIS SDPT ideal for heavy-duty vehicle applications?

The AMETEK VIS SDPT is environmentally sealed, chassis mountable, and designed to withstand harsh operating conditions commonly found in commercial trucks, construction equipment, and off-highway machinery.
