BAPI-BOX-IP66 Standard Range ZPM Zone Pressure Sensor in a BAPI-Box Enclosure Instruction Manual

BAPI-BOX-IP66 Standard Range ZPM Zone Pressure Sensor in a BAPI-Box

Enclosure

Identification and Overview

BAPI’s ZPM is designed for quick and easy field installation. The outputs, ranges, units, and directionality, 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” for the selected range. The appropriate LED will flash when out of range.

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 the 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 to prevent condensation from entering the pressure transducer. Do not mount to a vibrating surface as vibration may cause issues with the accuracy of the sensing element. See page 3 for an actual size mounting template for the unit .

The two cover latch screws must be installed to achieve an IP66 rating.
After Auto-Zeroing, remove the deadhead tubing and push the system tubing onto the port nipple without creating any kinks or holes. If a hole must be cut into the plastic plugs in the ½” NPSM threaded ports of the BAPI-Box enclosure, it’s recommended to use BAPI’s Clean-Cut Tool. Not using this tool could cause damage to the electronics of the sensor. See the Accessories section of BAPI’s website or product catalog for more info on the Clean-Cut Tool.

Output Termination

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 Procedure and Status LED Operation

AUTO-ZERO FOR STANDARD UNITS
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 another 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 FOR UNITS WITH 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. Disconnect the short clear tubing from the 90° black Attached Tube fitting with your fingers (Fig. 9). A pliers may cut the tubing.
3. Connect the clear tubing to the supplied straight black fitting on the 6” tubing (Fig. 9). Do not kink the tubing.
4. Press and hold the Auto-Zero button for 1-2 seconds. The Status LED will stop flashing when completed.
   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 20 seconds.

Typical Applications

NOTE : Best practice is to form a drip loop in the tubing to prevent condensation from reaching the unit.

Diagnostics

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:

• Status LED does not light
• Status LED is flashing
• Output stuck (high or low)
• Output not tracking pressure properly

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:

• Check power connections for proper power
• The sensor is set to 4 to 20mA output
• The unit is performing an auto-zero. Wait 20 seconds and check again.
• Remove pressure from ports and perform the auto-zero procedure
• Check rotary switch for proper pressure range selection
• Check rotary switch for proper output range selection
