The WPS500X is an impressive pressure transducer.  It covers a wide pressure range that would normally require multiple transducers.  It produces a signal that will result clear, accurate, and highly resolute waveforms, allowing for detailed analysis of your readings.

While you will certainly find other pressure transducers at lower prices, you will quickly be disappointed when you start comparing their performance to that of the WPS500X.

Range	Pressure range	Accuracy	Response time	Output scaling
1	–15 to 500 psi –1 to 34.47 bar	1% of scale	100 µs	10 mV/1 psi (500 psi = 5 V)
2	–15 to 50 psi –1 to 3.45 bar	1% of scale	100 µs	100 mV/1 psi (50 psi = 5 V)
3	–5 to 5 psi –0.34 to 0.34 bar	5% of scale	filtered	1 V/1 psi (5 psi = 5 V)

Three pressure ranges = performance and versatility

The three pressure ranges of the WPS500X allow accurate measurement and analysis of many automotive pressures including cylinder compression, fuel pressure, intake manifold vacuum and even pulses from the exhaust.

Range 1

The first range gives you high resolution and accuracy for high-pressure tests such as cranking and running cylinder compression or fuel pressure testing. Not only is this test a great way for you to find compression issues, but it is also an excellent way for you to identify cam timing issues such as jumped timing belts and stretched timing chains — this is especially useful on multi-cam engines that may not have a cam sensor on each camshaft.

Range 2

The second range measures from –15 to 50 psi (approximately –1 to 3.45 bar). This range is ideal for vacuum tests and fuel system tests. When testing these systems you will find the zoom function is especially useful as it makes it easy to analyze the valves operating with the vacuum waveform, or the injectors through the fuel waveform.

Range 3

With the third range you can measure –5 to 5 psi (approximately –0.34 to 0.34 bar). This setting is sensitive enough to allow you to analyze small pressures or pulses such as pulses from the exhaust.

When would I use the WPS500X?

Often, problems reported by customers can have many potential causes, and simply reading fault codes leaves you no closer to a solution. In addition to the comprehensive electrical testing provided by PicoScope, the addition of a WPS500X provides you with that same detailed insight into the engine system for accurate diagnosis of common problems such as:

• No start
• Loss of power
• Misfire
• Stalling
• Engine noise
• Emissions fault
• Backfire

With the unparalleled resolution and accuracy of the WPS500X Automotive Pressure Transducer you can perform quick and accurate pressure analysis on many automotive systems.

• Accurately measure up to 500 psi (34 bar)
• Ultra-fast 100 µs response time
• Zoom function for enhanced analysis capabilities
• Internal rechargeable LiPo battery
• Integrated pressure relief / bleed-off valve
• Auto zeroing
• High noise immunity
• Temperature compensated

The WPS500X features an extremely fast 100 µs response time from 0% to 90% of full scale and sensitivity down to about 0.07 psi (5 mbar). This provides you with an accurate representation of rapidly changing signals that span a broad pressure range.

Use the WPS500X with PicoScope to reveal how your engine is actually performing with minimal intrusion. Compression, airflow, valve timing and back pressure can all be measured in one hit.
