Installing Building Static Pressure Sensor Taps
Fragile sensor fittings.
If you must remove tubing from a pressure sensor fitting, use care. Do not use
excessive force or wrench the tubing back and forth to remove or the fitting
can break off and damage sensor.
If a unit has direct building static pressure control capability,
you must field-install and connect static pressure taps to
pressure sensor SPS2 in the unit. This sensor is located at the
bottom of the main control panel next to terminal block TB2
(see "Control Panel" on page
Carefully locate and install the two static pressure sensing
taps. Improper location or installation of the sensor taps causes
unsatisfactory operation. Below are pressure tap location and
installation recommendations for both building envelope and
lab, or "space within a space" pressure control applications.
The installation must comply with local code requirements.
Building Pressurization Applications
1. Install a tee fitting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor fitting. This facilitates connecting a
manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2. Locate the building pressure (HI) tap in the area that
requires the closest control. Typically, this is a ground
level floor that has doors to the outside.
3. Locate the building tap so it is not influenced by any
source of moving air (velocity pressure). These sources
may include air diffusers or outside doors.
4. Route the building tap tube between the curb and the
supply duct and feed it into the unit through the knockout
in the bottom of the control panel (see
27). Connect the tube to the ¼-inch HI fitting for sensor
SPS2.
5. Locate the reference pressure (LO) tap on the roof.
Keep it away from the condenser fans, walls, or anything
else that may cause air turbulence. Mount it high
enough above the roof so it is not affected by snow. Not
connecting the reference tap to the sensor results in
unsatisfactory operation.
6. Use an outdoor static pressure tip (Dwyer A306 or
equivalent) to minimize the adverse effects of wind.
Place some type of screen over the sensor to keep out
insects. Loosely packed cotton works well.
7. Route the outdoor tap tube out of the main control panel
through a small field-cut opening in the edge of the
control wiring raceway cover (see
"mouse hole" in the vertical portion of the edge. Seal the
penetration to prevent water from entering. Connect tube
tothe ¼-inch LO fitting for sensor SPS2.

Lab Pressurization Applications
1. Install a "T" fitting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor fitting. This facilitates connecting a
manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2. Use different colored tubing for the controlled space
pressure (HI) and reference pressure (LO) taps, or tag
the tubes.
3. Regardless whether the controlled space is positive
or negative with respect to its reference, locate the HI
pressure tap in the controlled space. (The setpoint can
be set between -0.2" and 0.2" w.c.)
4. Locate the reference pressure (LO) tap in the area
surrounding the controlled space. Not locating the
reference tap to the sensor results in unsatisfactory
operation.
5. Locate both taps so they are not influenced by any
source of moving air (velocity pressure). These sources
may include air diffusers or doors between the high and
low pressure areas.
6. Route the building tap tube between the curb and the
supply duct and feed it into the unit through the knockout
in the bottom of the control panel (see
7. Connect the tube to the ¼-inch HI fitting for sensor SPS2.
