I'm using a Setra Model 264 Low Differential Pressure Transducer to measure pressure differences in a water manometer. However, I am getting outputs in voltage using a voltmeter and want to know how to convert these voltages to pressure in mm H2O.
 
The specified range of the pressure input will have a linear relationship with the specified range of the (voltage/current) output.

Call Kele (USA) 901-382-4300 and ask for tech support. Doesn't matter if you bought it there or not. They'll walk you through it.

Good on ya,

It's quite straight forward.

Need the voltage range and the pressure range. Here's an example:

Assume you are using the standard voltage output of 0 - 5 VDC.

And let's say the range is 0 - 2.5 in. wc.

If you are reading 2 volts on your meter then you would convert as follows:

(2 volts x 2.5 in. wc.)/ 5 VDC = 1 in. wc.

I noticed you asked for mm, so I'll let you do the conversion.
