Differential Pressure Monitor
Figure 1. Differential Pressure Monitor with Remote Pressure
Transmitter.
The Differential Pressure Monitor (DPM) is an integral
part of the APOGEE® Automation System. The
monitor measures and displays the differential
pressure between a room and its adjoining space. It is
used for monitoring in hospital pharmacies and
isolation rooms, and also in labs, areas surrounding
labs, holding rooms, and other areas where
knowledge of the differential pressure is important.
The Differential Pressure Monitor can operate stand-
alone or networked to the APOGEE Automation
System. When used with the APOGEE Automation
System, alarm, differential pressure values, and status
point information can be communicated via a Local
Area Network (LAN) to a central terminal for display
and recording.
Features
• Through-the-wall differential pressure measurement
• Digital display of pressure (inches of water / Pascals)
• LED indicators for normal and alarm status
• Audible horn indicates alarm condition
• Return from power failure without operator
intervention
• Optional 2-position keyed switch disables alarms,
available in separate models enabling alarms for:
> negative pressure (infectious isolation)
> positive pressure (protective isolation)
• Control parameters assigned and changed using the
Portable Operator’s Terminal
• Proven system architecture
Description
The DPM consists of the following:
• A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which displays:
− State of pressure mode key switch (optional)
− Pressure monitoring mode
− High pressure alarm
− Low pressure alarm
− General failure
− Status of door switch
− Anteroom status
− Differential Pressure (In.w.c. or Pa)
• 2 LED status lights: green indicating normal
operation; red indicating alarm condition
• Audible horn with Horn silence button
• Interfaces to:
− One or two Remote Pressure Transmitters
− APOGEE LAN communication
− Portable Operator’s Terminal port
− Auxiliary alarm relay output
− 4-20 mA output of pressure
− Door switch contact
• Optional 2-position keyed switch disables alarms for
space cleaning and maintenance.
