Part One User Basics Reading product manuals should not be a difficult and time-consuming process. This section provides a brief but thorough overview of the PresSura product by maximizing information with minimal reading. These few pages explain the purpose (The Instrument), and the operation (Useful User Information, Digital Interface Module, Alarms) of the unit.

An example of negative pressure is a bathroom with an exhaust fan. When the fan is turned on, air is exhausted out of the room creating a slight negative pressure in the bathroom compared to the hallway. This pressure differential forces air to flow from the hallway into the bathroom.
Operator Panel The DIM in Figure 3 shows the location of the digital display, keypad and lights. An explanation of the operator panel follows the figure. Figure 3: PresSura Operator Panel - Open Green / Red light The green light is on when all the conditions for proper room pressure are adequate. This light indicates the isolation room is operating safely.

User Keys - Gray with Black Letters The four keys with black letters provide information without changing the operation or the function of the unit. TEST Key The TEST key initiates an instrument self-test. Pressing the TEST key activates a scrolling sequence on the display that shows the product model number, software version, and alarm values.
Alarms PresSura controller has visual (red light) and audible alarms to inform you of changing conditions. The alarm levels (set points) are determined by hospital personnel, which could be the infection control group, charge nurse, or a facilities group depending on the hospital organization.
Before Calling TSI The manual should answer most questions and resolve most problems you may encounter. If you need assistance or further explanation, contact your local TSI representative or TSI. TSI is committed to providing high quality products backed by outstanding service.
Part Two Technical Section The PresSura controller is ready to use after being properly installed. The pressure sensor is factory calibrated prior to shipping, and should not need adjustment. The Digital Interface Module (DIM) is programmed with a default configuration that can be easily modified to fit your application.
Software Programming Programming the PresSura Room Pressure Controller is quick and easy if the programming keys are understood, and the proper key stroke procedure is followed. The programming keys are defined first, followed by the required keystroke procedure. At the end of this section is a programming example.

Menu and Menu Items The PresSura controller is a very versatile device which can be configured to meet your specific application. This section lists all of the menu items available to program and change (except diagnostics menu). Changing any item is accomplished by using the keypad, or if communications are installed through the RS-485 Communications port.

Calibration The calibration section explains how to calibrate the PresSura pressure sensor, including setting the proper elevation, and how to zero a TSI flow station pressure transducer. NOTE: The PresSura pressure sensor is factory calibrated and normally does not need to be adjusted.
Page 32
Figure 7: Pressure sensor door slid open. Sensor span NOTE: Always take a sensor zero prior to adjusting the sensor span. A smoke test and a comparison measurement by an air velocity meter are required to calibrate the pressure sensor. The air velocity meter only gives a velocity reading, so a smoke test must be performed to determine pressure direction.
Maintenance and Repair Parts The Model 8630 PresSura Room Pressure Monitor requires minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection of the system components, as well as an occasional pressure sensor cleaning, are all that are needed to ensure that the Model 8630 is operating properly. System Component Inspection It is recommended that the pressure sensor be periodically inspected for accumulation of contaminants.
