PX3 Series
Bluetooth® Differential Pressure / Air Velocity Transducer

Product Overview

The PX3 transducer can measure either air pressure or velocity with the flip of a switch. The PX3 is available in three installation configurations: duct, panel or universal. Duct and panel models have two pressure and velocity ranges: 0-1 in. WC / 0-3,000 ft/min or 1-10 in. WC / 3,000-6,000 ft/min with four field-selectable sub-ranges. The universal model comes in one pressure/velocity range: 0-10 in. WC / 0-7,000 ft/min with seven field- selectable sub-ranges for pressure and eight for velocity. All variants are available with and without display. The PX3 has an IP65/NEMA 4 environmental rating and a 5-year limited warranty.
The Veris Sensors App provides the ability to connect to a device and configure a variety of field-selectable parameters remotely from a smartphone via Bluetooth technology. The app allows users to create and store commonly used parameters that will reduce commissioning time and provide assurance that all parameters are properly configured with no call backs. The app can also create a trend log while connected, providing important data for troubleshooting purposes. iOS® users can download the app through the iOS App Store on their smart device. Android users can download the app through the Google Play™ store. For instructions on downloading and operating the app, see the Veris Sensors App User’s Guide and Veris Sensors App Quick Start Guide available on the Veris website.

Installation, Wiring & Configuration

1. Plan the installation. Panel or duct mount?
   For velocity applications, use the VFXP Series air velocity/measurement probe or AA18, AA19 or AA20 velocity pitot tubes. For use with the PX3P (panel) and PX3U (universal) models in Velocity mode only. Sold separately.

2. For duct mount applications, thread the probe into the back of the device housing, as shown in the dimensional drawing. Configure the internal tubing for the selected installation method as described below (see diagrams next page).
   Duct mount tubing configuration:

   • Connect sensor port A to the rear brass barb marked as “-” on the underside of the device housing.

   • Connect sensor port B to the probe in the back of the device housing.
     Panel mount tubing configuration:

   • Connect sensor port A to the rear brass barb marked as “-” on the underside of the device housing.

   • Connect sensor port B to the front brass barb marked as “+” on the underside of the device housing.
     

3. Mount the transducer (see the screw hole diagram below).
   

4. For applications using conduit, remove the cable gland nut on the bottom of the unit. Thread a standard 1/2-inch NPT female threaded coupler onto the body of the cable gland. Connect the opposite end of the coupler to the conduit.

5. Set DIP switches to desired settings.*

   • DIP Switch 1: Scale
   • ON = Pascal (m/s)
   • OFF = in. WC (ft/min)
   • DIP Switch 2: Mode
   • ON = Velocity
   • OFF = Pressure
   • DIP Switch 3: Direction**
   • ON = Unidirectional
   • OFF = Bidirectional
   • DIP Switch 4: Response
   • ON = Slow
   • OFF = Fast
   • *DIP switches are all set to OFF by the factory.
   • **Velocity mode is unidirectional regardless of DIP switch setting.
   • DIP Switch 5: Output
   • ON = 4-20 mA
   • OFF = Voltage
   • DIP Switch 6: Volt Scale
   • ON = 0-5 Vdc
   • OFF = 0-10 Vdc
   • DIP Switch 7: Wireless
   • ON = Disabled
   • OFF = Enabled
   • DIP Switch 8: Unused

•  Connect the transmitter to the control system and power supply as indicated below. Optional: Connect the ZERO terminals to the digital output (contact closure) of the control system.

• Wait five seconds, then press and hold the ZERO pushbutton for two seconds or provide contact closure on the AUX ZERO terminal. This will reset the output and display to zero pressure. For best accuracy, press the ZERO button while both ports are open to atmospheric pressure. To protect the unit from accidental zero, this feature is enabled only when the detected pressure is within about 0.5 in. WC
  (125 Pa) of factory calibration.

• Connect desired external tubing to the PX3.
  PX3 Series devices employ high performance sensors and sophisticated temperature compensation circuitry. The sensor achieves its best accuracy after an initial warm-up period. During the first few minutes of operation, readings at zero pressure and the lowest pressure ranges may appear erroneous. Following this initial warm-up period, the PX3 device maintains its specified accuracy and stability.

The LCD momentarily indicates range ‘SET’ when a selection is made. Pressure is normally indicated on the display. Units are in inches water column (in. WC), Pascals (Pa) or kilopascals (kPa) as indicated on the display. The display shows ‘OVR’ when the pressure is over range.
