Model PE-4000, 6000, & 7000 Room/Space Pressure Sensing Elements

The PE-4000, PE-6000, & PE-7000 are designed to accurately sense room/space static pressure levels and eliminate signal error caused by ambient air turbulence created by occupant motion, operating equipment, or air distribution devises.  The output of these sensors is an exceptionally accurate and stable static pressure signal for laboratory; clean, containment, or isolation room differential pressure indication and/or control.  The design of the sensing ports and averaging chamber produces instantaneous pressure signals in areas with low terminal velocities (below 150 feet per minute [fpm]), and therefore cannot be located adjacent to diffusers, grills, or room entrances.  The PE-4000 is designed to fit in a standard electrical utility box; the PE-6000 and PE-7000 are designed for surface and flush mounting, respectively, on the ceiling or a wall within the area being monitored.

Model PE-5000 Duct Pressure Sensing Elements

Model PE-5000 units are insertion-type primary duct pressure sensing elements designed to achieve pressure signal accuracy and stability.  The accuracy and low signal-to-noise ratio of the output is made possible by the placement of multiple sensing ports along the length of the element and the averaging effect of the internal manifold.  Installation costs are low; the units are simply installed though a small cutout in new or existing ductwork.  Their low installed costs make them very economical for multiple branch variable air volume (VAV) duct systems where indication and fan capacity control may be based on the lowest (most economical) pressure of the multiple static pressure points.  Each element is furnished complete with mounting hardware, sealing gaskets, and signal connection fittings.

Model PE-8000 Outdoor Pressure Sensing Elements

Model PE-8000 Pressure Sensing Elements are designed to provide a true outdoor (atmospheric) pressure signal that is not affected by wind induced pressure envelopes.  The impact plate keeps flow from directly hitting the sensing holes and creating errors.  Their output may be used as a reference for interior building space pressure control.  However, the use and location of atmospheric pressure sensors has been the subject of many studies, and all conclude (as does PCI) that their use should be minimized or avoided because of problems associated with varying wind directions and wind gusts.  The PE-8000 must be installed away from higher building structures, at a minimum elevation of 12 ft above the roof line or adjacent parpet.
