• Measures static and airflow pressure in supply and return ducts
• Provides early warning of blockages, leaks, or pressure imbalance
Air Filter Monitoring in AHUs and FCUs
• Detects dirty or clogged filters (e.g., pre-filters, HEPA) to trigger alerts or maintenance
• Helps optimize system performance and reduce energy consumption
Cleanrooms and Smart Buildings
• Maintains positive or negative pressure between controlled areas
• Integrates with BMS to automatically control fans, dampers, or alarms
Control Panel and PLC Integration
• Easily connects to control systems for monitoring and automation
4. Key Features of ADPS-05-2-N-C
Quick Setup and Easy Adjustment
• Built-in adjustment knob on the switch body – no cover removal required
• Pressure range suited to most residential and commercial HVAC duct systems
Flexible SPDT Contact Output
• Simple wiring for fans, chillers, alarms, or other control equipment
• Compatible with both AC and DC systems
Durable, Low-Maintenance Design
• Flame-retardant plastic housing withstands impact and high temperatures
• No external power required, simple electromechanical design ensures reliability
Optimized for HVAC Engineers
• Widely used by MEP engineers due to easy installation, long life, good compatibility, and competitive cost
5. Installation Guide for ADPS-05-2-N-C in Duct Systems
Preparation
• Select a location near the duct, at the inlet/outlet of filters or fans
• Shut down the system before installation to ensure safety
Mechanical Mounting
• Mount the switch on a wall or support frame
• Use Ø6 mm air tubing to connect the High and Low ports
• Avoid locations with strong vibrations or water splashes
Electrical Connection
• Connect signal wires to the SPDT terminals (C – NO – NC) based on your control logic
• Can be connected to relays, indicator lights, buzzers, PLCs, BMS, etc.
Testing and Operation
• Turn on the system, apply test pressure, and check for switching response
• Adjust the setpoint knob to match the required operating pressure
