BAPI BA/ZPM-HR-ST-D High Range ZPM Zone Pressure Sensor

Product Information

BAPI ZPM High Range Zone Pressure Sensor

The BAPI ZPM High Range Zone Pressure Sensor is designed for quick and easy field installation. It features adjustable outputs, ranges, units, directionality, and response time that can be easily set in the field without powering the unit. The optional LCD display helps with troubleshooting by displaying the actual pressure regardless of the selected pressure range. The unit also features three LEDs on the face to indicate when the pressure is out of range low, in range, or out of range high.

The ZPM unit comes with a bulkhead fitting, static tube, cover latch, conduit, and deadhead tubing. It can be mounted with four self-tapping #10×3/4 sheet metal screws through the holes in the mounting feet. The preferred mounting orientation is with the pressure ports facing down. The ZPM unit can be ordered with or without an included static tube and hose with surge damper. The ZPM unit has multiple output options including 4 to 20mA, 0 to 5VDC, 1 to 5VDC, 0 to 10VDC, and 2 to 10VDC. It requires 7 to 40VDC or 18 to 32VAC power and has a ground terminal for connecting to a controller’s analog input and ground.

Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Mounting

  1. Attach the unit to its mounting surface with four self-tapping #10×3/4 sheet metal screws through the holes in the mounting feet. The preferred mounting orientation is with the pressure ports facing down.
  2. After Auto-Zeroing (see step 5), remove the deadhead tubing and push the system tubing onto the port nipple without creating any kinks or holes. A locking screw can be inserted into the hole in the cover latch to prevent unintentional cover openings.

Step 2: Switch Setup – Outputs, Ranges, Units/Response

  1. Select the desired output signal.
  2. Select the range. If the unit is ordered with a custom range, set the switch to R6.
  3. Select the desired units – Inches WC or PASCALS.
  4. Select the response time: Fast Response = 1/2 second, Slow Response = 4 seconds.
  5. Mount, terminate, and Auto-Zero the unit as described in later sections. Always follow the Auto-Zero procedure after changing settings.

Step 3: Output Termination

  1. BAPI recommends wiring the product with power disconnected. Proper supply voltage, polarity, and wiring connections are important to a successful installation. Not observing these recommendations may damage the product and void the warranty.
  2. To ensure that all wires are properly terminated, twist the stripped ends of each wire together before inserting into the terminals. Gently tug on the wire after inserting into the terminal to verify a good connection.
  3. See Table 1 for ZPM output termination details.

Identification and Overview

BAPI’s ZPM is designed for quick and easy field installation. The outputs, ranges, units, directionality, and response time are all easily set in the field without powering the unit. The optional LCD display helps with troubleshooting because it displays the actual pressure regardless of the selected pressure range. Three LEDs on the face of the unit indicate when the pressure is “Out of Range Low”, “In Range” or “Out of Range High”.

Switch Setup – Outputs, Ranges, Units/Response

NOTE:  Always follow the Auto-Zero procedure after changing settings.

Mounting

Attach the unit to its mounting surface with four self-tapping #10×3/4” sheet metal screws through the holes in the mounting feet. The preferred mounting orientation is with the pressure ports facing down. After Auto-Zeroing, remove the deadhead tubing and push the system tubing onto the port nipple without creating any kinks or holes.

Output Termination

STOP: BAPI recommends wiring the product with power disconnected. Proper supply voltage, polarity and wiring connections are important to a successful installation. Not observing these recommendations may damage the product and void the warranty.

To ensure that all wires are properly terminated, twist the stripped ends of each wire together before inserting into the terminals. Gently tug on the wire after inserting into the terminal to verify a good connection.

Auto-Zero and Status LED Operation

AUTO-ZERO OPERATION

Auto-Zeroing must be done after the initial setup, changing mounting orientation or changing any settings. For most applications, perform an auto- zero whenever it appears that the sensor has drifted. For critical applications, the unit should be zeroed 2-3 times a year.

  1. Power must be on.
  2. Detach system tubing and deadhead ports using the supplied tubing or other short length of tubing. Do not kink tubing.
  3. Press and hold the Auto-Zero button for 1-2 seconds. The Status LED will stop flashing when completed.
  4. Remove deadhead tubing and reattach system tubing.

AUTO-ZERO OPERATION (Units w/ Attached Tube)

  1. Power must be on.
  2. Disconnect system tubing from the low pressure brass fitting and attach the supplied 6” deadhead tubing to the brass fitting.
  3. Disconnect the short clear tubing from the 90° black high pressure Attached Tube fitting with your fingers (Fig 9). A pliers may cut the tubing.
  4. Connect the clear tubing to the supplied, straight black fitting on the 6” tubing (Fig 9). Do not kink the tubing.
  5. Press and hold the Auto-Zero button for 1-2 seconds. The Status LED will stop flashing when completed.
  6. Disconnect the deadhead tubing and reattach the clear tubing and system tubing. Confirm that the clear tubing is pressed all of the way onto the fitting and that it is not kinked.
STATUS LED OPERATION
  • LED Off: No power is applied or the unit is in 4 to 20 mA Mode
  • LED Solid (On): LED is on when power is applied and a VDC output is selected. When 4 to 20 mA output is selected, the light is on for 2 seconds at power up then goes off.
  • LED Flashing: Auto-Zero. The LED will flash for about 10 seconds.

Typical Applications

  • Fig. 10: Duct Static Pressure Monitoring (ZPM Pressure Sensor mounted on the duct with a Static Pressure Probe in the duct.)
  • Fig. 11: Air Filter Pressure Drop Monitoring (ZPM Pressure Sensor mounted on the duct with a Static Pressure Probe on either side of the filter in a duct.)

_ NOTE: _Best practice is to form a drip loop in the tubing to prevent condensation from reaching the ZPM.

Troubleshooting

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS/ POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

  • Status LED does not light: Check power connections for proper power
    • Sensor is set to 4 to 20mA output
  • Status LED is flashing: The unit may be performing an auto-zero. Wait 10 seconds and check again.
  • Display is alternating between a number and “Err”: The measurement is out of selected range.
  • Output stuck (high or low): Remove pressure from ports and perform auto-zero procedure
  • Output not tracking pressure properly: Check rotary switch for proper pressure range selection
    • Check rotary switch for proper output range selection
