Page 4: Overview
Overview A Pressure Node is a wireless node that measures air pressure differences between the data center room and its subfloor cavities or overhead plenum environments. A Pressure Node installation kit consists of the wireless pressure-sensing node and two low-pressure air hoses fitted with diffusers. Each diffuser resides in a location to measure the air pressure differential between the room and the subfloor or overhead plenums.

Page 7 2. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
Page 8: Warnings And Precautions
Warnings and Precautions The following warnings and precautions pertain to Pressure Node installations. Failure to adhere to warnings and precautions could result in physical injury or damage to equipment, which may void the warranty. Warning: Describes maintenance activities necessary for optimum operation of Pressure Nodes Warning: Subfloor work poses significant trip/fall hazards and eye hazards from airflow-borne debris.
Page 9: Getting Started
Getting Started Required Hardware The required hardware for this installation is included in the Pressure Nodes kit, which contains these components. • One wireless Pressure Node module with four installed batteries • One 5-foot long air hose fitted with diffuser tips on both ends.
Page 10: Required Software
Required Software The Pressure Node installation requires the installation of the following SynapSense software: • Web Console™ • MapSense™ (including optional Active Control™ software with MapSense project .dlz file exported to the Web Console) Installation of SynapSense software generally takes place prior to hardware installation. This prevents redundancy of hardware verification activities.

Page 12: Preparing To Install The Pressure Node Hardware
Preparing to Install the Pressure Node Hardware The SynapSense Field Engineer is responsible for completing these steps to confirm installation readiness: Assure the following steps are complete: a. Required software is installed and configured. b. Gateways are installed and powered on. c.
Page 13: Installing Pressure Node Kits
Installing Pressure Node Kits This section provides the steps for installing Pressure Nodes. After installing the Pressure Nodes, see Validating and Commissioning the Pressure Node Installation validate the installation and commission pressure nodes. See Inspecting the Installation to complete the installation. In all configurations, hose lengths should not be excessive (short or long) and routing is smooth.
Page 14: Cabinet/Floor To Subfloor
Cabinet/Floor to Subfloor Pressure Nodes located under the cabinet on the tile floor have one hose/diffuser inserted up through a hole in the cabinet floor and routed to the side of the server (away from fans). The second hose/diffuser routes through a hole in the tile floor and is secured to the stanchion with a plenum-rated zip tie.
Page 15: Cabinet And Subfloor Installation
Cabinet and Subfloor Installation Perform the following steps to install a Pressure Node in or underneath a cabinet: 1. Prepare and route the diffuser hose. a. Determine Pressure Node location (inside or underneath cabinet) b. Determine necessary lengths for the low- and high-pressure hoses: low pressure hose length one (1) ft.
Page 16 g. Route the non-diffuser end of the long hose through the hole in the tile floor. h. Route the short hose (already attached to Pressure Node) through hole in the cabinet floor. Using gentle but firm pressure, attach the long diffuser hose to the high-pressure inlet (+) on the Pressure Node.
Page 17 4. Route the low-pressure (short) hose to the side of the server so the diffuser is in still air. Ensure hose routing is under existing wires and cables to prevent inadvertent disconnection. 5. If needed, secure short hose/diffuser with cable clip to prevent hose from moving freely.
Page 18: Overhead Plenum Installation
Overhead Plenum Installation Perform the following activities to install a Pressure Node in an overhead plenum. 1. Prepare diffuser hose and plenum. a. Determine Pressure Node installation location on the wall near the overhead plenum. b. Remove plenum cover. c. Clean area where Pressure Node will reside with alcohol wipes. Allow area to dry thoroughly. d.
Page 19 3. Route the hose, replace vent, and clean area. a. Place the long hose a minimum of six inches inside the plenum ducting. Ensure diffuser is not in a “T” junction as pressure reading will not be accurate. b. Remove adhesive cover on a cable clip and install inside the plenum duct near the long hose.

Replacing an Existing Pressure Node 2 with a New Pressure Node 3 The new SynapSense Pressure Node 3 is supported in Release 7.4.1 and later. To replace an existing Pressure Node 2 with a new Pressure Node 3, use the following steps.
Page 21: Validating And Commissioning The Pressure Node Installation
Validating and Commissioning the Pressure Node Installation Validate and commission the Pressure Node installation by activating the Pressure Node and confirming node communication with the SynapSense Web Console software application. Refer to the Web Console User Guide for detailed information. Before beginning the following steps, first verify (with lead supervisor or installer) all necessary installation activities, including software installation and file exports are completed.
Page 22: Pressure Node Led Status Lights
Pressure Node LED Status Lights Pressure Node 2 The Pressure Node 2 communicates status via three LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), visible through a translucent plastic cover on the topside corner of the case. The following diagram shows the typical color sequences displayed as the node powers on and joins a wireless network.

Page 24: Pressure Node 3
Pressure Node 3 The Pressure Node 3 communicates status via LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), visible through a translucent plastic cover on the topside of the plastic case. Typically, the sequence from an OFF state to Normal Operation may last from 10 minutes to over an hour, depending on the network environment in the data center.
Page 25: Inspecting The Installation
Inspecting the Installation Inspect the installation to ensure appropriate sensor placement and a clean installation area. 1. Verify sensor placement. a. All pressure node and diffuser installations are positioned consistently. b. Diffuser placement above floor and subfloor (as needed). c. Zip ties and clips do not interfere with fans or bind or rub against surfaces. 2.
Page 26: Appendix A - Maintenance
Appendix A – Maintenance In this appendix: This appendix describes maintenance activities necessary for optimum operation of Pressure Nodes. Battery Replacement Pressure Node modules come from the factory with four pre-installed AA-size batteries arranged in two redundant pairs under a removable plastic cover plate. Follow these steps to change module batteries: 1.
Page 27 Remove a diffuser hose by following these steps. 1. Carefully slice the hose lengthwise from the inlet connection using a utility knife. 2. Peel and remove the hose from the inlet connection. 3. Clean any debris from the inlet. 4. Attach new diffuser hose. PRESSURE NODE INSTALLATION MANUAL...
