Couple of 'Help' questions.
Couple of 'Help' questions. Got all my NX kit, parts, and pieces together and at first I was very hesitant to install everything on my own ... until I started doing a mock-up last night. Then, I realized how easy it is. I'd appreciate your comments on two things I'm not certain about.
1. Is the transducer the same thing the instructions are referring to as a bottle heater pressure switch? It looks like the server the same function are are just referred to by differnet names.
2. When wiring the switch panel, the instructions call for a 1k resisitor so the LED won't bunt out on the bottle heater switch. Is this resistor supposed to be soldered between the hot lead connector and ground lead connector on the underside of the switch ... so as to connect the hot and ground leads of the switch together with the resisitor?

2. NO. the resister goes inline of the power only. Ground just goes to ground.
go from your 12v source to the resistor, and from the other side of the resistor to the switch.
The resistor looks like it's connected at the #3 connecting point to the #2 connecting point on the diagram (below). The #2 lead seems to clearly be a hot wire. Can somebody shed some light?

sorry, I was in san diego. I see what they did. When the switch is ON, the LED inside gets it's power and uses the resistor to ground. When the switch is off, it would be disconnected. Hook it up as they have there. It will work.

Thanks a lot ... appreciate the confirmation ... wasn't sure if what I was seeing was correct. Anytime I see an electrical hot going to ground, I have to wonder if it's right ... thanks.
