About the Differential Air-pressure Transmitter
The transmitter can be used to measure positive, negative, or differential pressure in the range of
1.0…20.0 in. wc (water column). The piezoresistive sensor is ideal for monitoring the pressure for
air or other clean inert gas and is limited only to those media that will not attack polyetherimide,
silicon, fluorosilicone, silicone, EPDM, and neoprene seals.
The module features field-selectable pressure ranges and output signal types for the most flexible
application. Typical HVAC applications include monitoring of filter differential pressure or
clean room pressure. The output signal is factory calibrated and temperature compensated for
highest start-up accuracy and trouble-free operation.
The low-pressure room differential transmitter is designed to measure the pressure difference
from one room to another. This is done by mounting the main transmitter unit that is housed in
the ABS enclosure in one room and mounting the AE enclosure in the other. The ABS enclosure
has two ports, one on the side and one on the back. The side port is used to measure the pressure
in the room that it is mounted in while the back port is connected via a supplied tube to the port
that is on the back of the AE enclosure.
There is a second fitting on the back of the ABS enclosure that can be used as a wire entrance. An
electrical box can be used to mount the two enclosures to the wall or a hole can be made in the
wall to accommodate the fittings. Attach the supplied tube to the fittings on the back of the AE
and ABS enclosures.
TIP
The following is the factory setup for the tubing inside the ABS enclosure.
• The LOW side of the sensor is connected to the AE to monitor the remote
room.
• The HIGH side of the sensor is connected to the port on the side of the ABS
enclosure.
The tubes on the sensor can be reversed if required

Differential Air-pressure Transmitter Installation
The transmitter mounts on any surface using the two holes provided on the base of the unit.
Make sure there is enough space around the unit to connect the pressure tubing without kinking
and avoid locations where severe vibrations or excessive moisture are present. Mount the
enclosure with two user-supplied screws but do not over-tighten.
The unit may be mounted in any position but is typically installed on a vertical surface with the
pressure ports on the right and the cable entrance on the left. The enclosure has a standard ½ in.
conduit opening and may be installed with either conduit and a conduit coupler or a cable gland
type fitting.
Room Pressure Monitor - Mount the ABS box in the room where the pressure display is desired.
Mount the AE enclosure in the second room and connect the two using the supplied hose or
equivalent. Note that the unit is factory set with the LOW port in the ABS enclosure and the
HIGH port in the AE enclosure. To change this, reverse the hose connections on the board in
the ABS enclosure.
Differential Air-pressure Transmitter Wiring and Connection
The transmitter has standard screw-block connectors and easy wire access to facilitate wiring. We
recommend that shielded twisted-pair wiring at least 22 AWG be used for all connections and
that the device wires not be run in the same conduit with wiring used to supply inductive loads
such as motors.
ATTENTION: Disconnect the power supply before making any connections to
prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
Make all connections in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
The device power (12…28V AC or 15…35V DC measured at the transmitter) is connected to
the terminal marked PWR. This terminal is used for the positive DC voltage or the hot side of
the AC voltage. The device is reverse voltage protected and as such will not operate if connected
backwards.
For voltage output signal types (three-wire) or for AC power supply operation (three-wire), the
common of the power supply is connected to the terminal marked COM. Note that this device
has a half-wave type power supply which means the power supply common is the same as the
output signal common. Therefore, several devices may be connected to one power supply and the
output signals all share the same signal common. Use caution when grounding the secondary of
an AC transformer or when wiring multiple devices to ensure that the circuit ground point is the
same on all devices and the controller. This terminal is not used for loop-powered 4…20 mA
output type (2-wire).

The analog output signal is available on the OUT terminal. This signal is jumper selectable for
either a voltage output or a standard loop-powered 4…20 mA output signal type. When voltage
mode is selected, either 0…5V DC or 0…10V DC can also be selected. These options are
indicated on the device circuit board. The analog output signal is typically connected directly to
the Building Automation System (B.A.S.) and used as a control parameter or for logging
purposes.
For voltage type output signal the device has a minimum load that it is able to drive, similarly for
current type output signal the device has a maximum load that it is able to drive with a particular
power supply voltage. Observe and follow these ratings in the Specification section or inaccurate
reading may result.
The 4…20 mA output signal can easily be converted to a 1…5V DC signal for controllers
accepting this type of input. Simply insert a 250 Ω (0.1% is best) resistor between the ‘+’ and ‘-’
inputs of the controller. This will convert the 4…20 mA signal to the desired 1…5V DC.
Pneumatic Connections
The two pressure ports on the end of the enclosure are labeled High and Low. The output signal
reads a positive value when the port pressure is higher on the High port than the Low port so
ensure these ports are connected correctly.
Use 0.170 in. I.D. flexible tubing for the High and Low pressure connections. Arrange the tubing
to minimize stress on the connections and ensure there are no kinks in the tubing. For most
accurate measurements, do not leave the Low port open to the atmosphere, run a return line
from the Low port to the vicinity of the point being measured.
Ensure the tubing to be used is clean and do not allow material to fall into the pressure ports as
contamination could damage the sensor.
When removing tubing use care to avoid breaking the ports. In some cases it is better to cut the
tubing off rather than pulling it off but be careful not to cut the fitting or an air leak may occur.
Differential Air-pressure Transmitter Configuration
The transmitter is configured with push-on type jumpers on the circuit board as shown on the
Power Supply drawing. These jumpers are used to select the output signal type and the input
pressure range.
The module is factory configured to operate in the 4…20 mA output mode. You can change the
voltage mode by moving the three jumpers from the positions marked Current to the positions
marked Voltage. Before moving these jumpers, study the current jumper position and then move
the jumpers to the new position. If these jumpers are rotated 90 degrees and installed incorrectly
the product will not work and device damage may occur.
Once the output mode is changed to voltage, the output scale may be changed to either
0…5V DC or 0…10V DC. This is done by moving the single jumper to the 0…5V or 0…10V
position.

Differential Air-pressure Transmitter
The input pressure range is set by moving two jumpers to the appropriate range. The available
ranges are marked 1…8 on the circuit board. The two jumpers must be set to the same range or
incorrect readings result. The pressure ranges are shown in the following chart:

Power-up Instruction
Follow these steps before using the transmitter.
1. Before turning on the power, verify all wiring to ensure that it complies with the wiring
diagrams and verify that the output signal type is correctly selected on the jumpers.
2. Review the specifications to ensure the power supply is correct and that the pressure is
within the correct range.
3. Inspect the internal pressure tubing that connects the sensor to the external ports to
ensure that the tubing did not get kinked during shipping or installation.

4. Allow the transmitter to warm-up for several minutes before attempting to verify the
device accuracy or adjust the null offset.
The module uses a sophisticated temperature compensation circuit to ensure maximum
accuracy of the device. It is best to allow the transmitter to operate for one hour before
any adjustment or calibration is performed.
5. Verify proper operation by measuring the output signal.
• For voltage output configuration, measure the voltage between the OUT and COM
terminals. The voltmeter should read between 0…5V DC or 0…10V DC depending
on the output range selected.
• For current output configuration, insert a mA meter in series with the OUT
terminal. The mA meter should read between 4…20 mA.
Operation
If the module is set to a unipolar range such as 0…2 in. wc, then the pressure applied to the High
port must be higher than the pressure applied to the Low port. In this case, if the Low port is left
open to ambient pressure and the High port is used to measure a positive pressure, then the
output pressure can be calculated as follows:
• 4…20 mA Pressure = [(Output current – 4 mA) / 16 mA] x Range
• 0…5V DC Pressure = (Output voltage / 5 V) x Range
• 0…10V DC Pressure = (Output voltage / 10 V) x Range
In the case of 0… 2 in. wc, 4 mA or 0 V = 0 in. wc, and 20 mA or 5 V or 10 V = 2 in. wc. Since the
transmitter is linear, 1 in. wc would be 12 mA or 2.5 V or 5 V.
If the positive pressure connection is reversed then the transmitter will always output
4 mA or 0 V.
If the module is set to a bipolar range such as ±2 in. wc, then the pressure applied to the High
port should be higher than the pressure applied to the Low port for a positive output response. In
this case, differential pressure can be measured using both ports. If the High port has a positive
pressure with respect to the Low port, then the output indicates a positive pressure. Negative
pressure is indicated if the High pressure is less than the Low pressure. For bipolar ranges, the
output pressure can be calculated as follows:
• 4…20 mA Pressure = [(Output current – 4 mA) / 16 mA] x 2 x Range – Offset
• 0…5V DC Pressure = (Output voltage / 5 V) x 2 x Range – Offset
• 0…10V DC Pressure = (Output voltage / 10 V) x 2 x Range – Offset
In the case of ±2 in. wc, 4 mA or 0 V = -2 in. wc and 20 mA or 5 V or 10 V = +2 in. wc. Since the
transmitter is linear, 0 in. wc would be 12 mA or 2.5 V or 5 V.

Calibration
All pressure ranges are factory calibrated and no calibration is necessary. You may adjust the zero
point if desired when changing ranges for example.
1. Allow the product to warm-up for 10 minutes (one hour is best) before you make a zero
adjustment.
2. With both ports open to the ambient pressure, press and hold the auto-zero button for at
least three seconds.
3. Release the auto-zero button after at least three seconds and the device will calculate and
store the new zero point.
TIP
Generally, we do not recommended that the span calibration be performed in
the field unless a high quality calibrator with low differential pressure ranges is
available and the temperature of the sensor can be maintained. Contact the
factory for information on this type of calibration.
