3. Outstanding Applications in HVAC and Cleanroom Systems
Thanks to its high-pressure handling capability, the ADPS-08-2-N-C is widely used in scenarios requiring reliable and stable pressure monitoring.
Monitoring Fan Pressure in Underground Ventilation Systems
• Measures static pressure before and after fans
• Detects faults such as pressure loss, fan blockage, or reduced suction performance
Industrial Air Filter Monitoring
• Detects clogged HEPA, carbon, or dust filters
• Triggers alerts or shuts down the fan to protect the motor
Fan Control Based on Pressure Difference
• Integrates with electrical panels to start/stop fans based on pressure thresholds
• Enhances energy efficiency and extends equipment life
Cleanroom and Pharmaceutical Warehouse Pressure Control
• Ensures positive/negative pressure is consistently maintained across zones
• Supports GMP/ISO compliance for critical environments like pharmaceutical or electronics manufacturing
4. Key Advantages of ADPS-08-2-N-C
Wide Measuring Range for Versatile Applications
• From 200 to 2000 Pa – suitable for everything from light air filtration to high-power fans
No Power Supply Required
• Simple mechanical structure – no power consumption, minimal maintenance
SPDT Contact Output
• Easily connects to electrical panels, alarm systems, PLCs, and BMS
Resistant to Vibration and Heat
• Rugged housing suitable for industrial, basement, or mechanical environments
Compact and Easy to Install
• Can be mounted directly on AHU frames or technical walls, saving space
5. Installation Guide for ADPS-08-2-N-C
Step 1: Identify Mounting Location
• Mount the device near the measurement point, such as on AHU frame or control panel
• Avoid areas with excessive moisture or strong vibration
Step 2: Connect Pressure Tubes
• Use Ø6 mm tubing to connect the High and Low ports to inlet and outlet points (e.g., ducts, filters, fans)
• Ensure all joints are airtight
Step 3: Adjust Setpoint
• Turn the setpoint knob to the desired pressure within the 200–2000 Pa range
• Use a reference pressure gauge for precise setup if needed
Step 4: Electrical Wiring
• Use the three SPDT terminals: NO – NC – COM
• Connect to relays, buzzers, monitoring systems, BMS, or PLCs
