Nexa™ Pressure Sensor Nexa Pressure Sensor remotely monitors the line pressure of gases, vapors, or liquids and reports pressure value in pounds per square inch (PSI) at a user-defined time interval or heartbeat to the Nexa cloud platform . If pressure is detected outside of the range setting, Nexa sends an alert by text message or email .
Installation, Operation, Servicing, and Maintenance Protection from Impact. In placing the sensor, be aware that the sensor has a mechanical impact rating of IK06, meaning that the housing protects the sensor from a mechanical impact of one Joule, which is roughly equivalent to dropping a solid metal sphere weighing 500 grams from twenty centimeters on the respective housing .

The pressure sensor must only be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained by qualified personnel . All qualified personnel involved in the aforementioned activities must meet the following requirements . • All qualified personnel involved in any of the foregoing activities must first familiarize themselves with the pressure sensor, its functionality, and components before attempting to engage in any such activities .
Firmware Updates All firmware updates are received remotely . Personnel need not interact within a hazardous area to perform these functions, with the exception of power cycling the sensor . Instructions in the Repair section must be followed to power cycle the sensor correctly .
Installing the Sensor Tools Required Use these recommended tool for installations: • Small Phillips screwdriver (for battery covers) • Small Phillips screwdriver (to attach the enclosure to a wall) • Double-sided Velcro or tape (commercial/industrial strength) to attach enclosures to walls •...
Installing the Enclosure Sensor and Gateway Distance The strength of the signal between a sensor and a gateway can vary depending on the antenna equipped . Sensors that transmit long distances can sometimes have more difficulty up close . The nearer the sensor to the gateway, depending on the strength of the signal, the more garbled the signal can be .
Install the Batteries Be sure the Nexa Dual Gateway or Ethernet Gateway is set up before you install the included AA batteries into the transceiver box . When the transceiver is powered on, it automatically attempts to pair with the nearest gateway . Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to detach the cover of the transceiver box .
