Pressure transducers

Hey yall... Im using a Verus Edge for scope, and want to get a pressure transducer. Any issues running off brand accessories with Snapon scanners, or should I just stick with Snapon branded? 

You will have no problem using "off brand" accessories. The only only issue you may have is that many accessories have a BNC connection. Snapon uses Banana Plug connectors.  This is not an issue if you have an adapter.


I have no experience with Snapon pressure transducers, but I have not seen people speak very highly of them. I think I read somewhere that they will not read vacuum. That would be a big dis-advantage, overall.

The PV-350, by Fluke, and a Verus are a pretty good match. That is the set up that I started with. Although, I think, I remember hearing that they down-graded the PV-350 on later builds.

Arguably, the best pressure transducer that you can get is the WPS 500 from Pico, but it is very pricey.
Automotive Test Solutions is another solid choice. However, you would have to by 3 different transducers to do what the WPS 500 can do. This might be an advantage, or disadvantage, depending on your situation. 

Ditex and Rotkee are a couple other choices.

I think, Noah started a thread on building a DIY transducer. I'll try to find it.

I run this on the USB port on the side of the Verus Edge. I did wire it up to the correct connector to use it on the transducer setting with the appropriate power supply, but there is a problem with the software when using that channel. It defaults to an inaccurate zero once the engine is running. I'm glad I saw Brandon Steckler point this out in one of his classes using the Snap On transducer. I thought there was a problem withy build, but it just a snappy thing apparently.
