3.1 General
The measurement performance of the EE600 sensor covers the measuring ranges 1 000 Pa (4 inch WC) and
10 000 Pa (40 inch WC) and offers an accuracy of ±0.5 % of the measuring range. The pressure sensing element
is piezoresistive and non-flow-through, and makes the sensor a long-term stable device.
The measured data is available on the analogue voltage and current output or on the RS485 interface with
Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP protocol.
The setup can be performed with DIP switches on the electronics board (EE600 with analogue output) or with
an optional adapter and the free PCS10 Product Configuration Software. The setup includes measuring range,
output signal, response time, displayed units and backlight. The auto-zero interval can be set with the PCS10.
The EE600 can be set up for volume flow or air velocity measurement, as well as for filter monitoring or level
indication. A zero point and span adjustment can be performed with push buttons on the electronics board.

User Manual EE600
The register block for the configuration of the customisable Modbus map consists of the registers 6001 (0x1770)
to 6010 (0x1779). For the blockwise query of the measured values behind Modbus registers 3001 (0xBB8) to
3020 (0xBCB), the firmware accesses this configuration area and thus gets the information which measured
value/status registers are to be output. A maximum of 10 user-defined registers can be mapped. The table below
shows an example:
If a critical error occurs, all Modbus values are set to NaN (according to IEEE754 for data type FLOAT32) or to
0x8000 (INT16). It is possible to read out all status and error information via Modbus register 609 (0x260). Errors
are displayed in bit-coded form. If an event is present, the corresponding bit is set to 1.
Measured values outside the measuring range are limited with the corresponding limit value.

5.4.1. Application Settings
This chapter provides some details on the possible applications and their inputs.
In addition to differential pressure measurement (Pa, kPa, mbar, mm H2O, inch WC), the EE600 can be set up for
the following applications:
By entering a k-factor in the application settings, the EE600 is able to calculate the volume flow (q) according to
the following formula:
HA011066
q = k * √∆p
Formula signDescriptionUnit
qVolume flowm3/h
kk-factor
∆p
Differential pressurePa
Dierential Pressure Sensor | 22
User Manual EE600
The k-factor is a characteristic theoretical parameter for each fan model, specified by the manufacturer in the
datasheet of the fan.
PLEASE NOTE
If the fan manufacturer’s datasheet specifies a different method or unit for calculating the volume flow, the
k-factor must be converted accordingly so that it fits into the above formula.
The calculated volume flow (q) is available in four different units: m3/h, m3/s, ft3/min, l/s.
The default air density (ρ20) value at standard conditions is defined as follows:
Air density (ρ20) = 1.204 kg/m3 @ T = 20 °C (68 °F) and p = 1 013 mbar (14.7 psi)
If the air density deviates from standard conditions, a compensation for the calculated volume flow is necessary.
By entering the specific air density (ρ') [kg/m3] at the operating point, the EE600 applies a compensation to the
calculated volume flow (q') according to the formula:
q' = k * √∆p *

Air velocity measurement
By entering a k-factor and the dimensions of the duct (round or square), the EE600 is able to calculate the air
velocity (v) out of the volume flow (q) and the area of the duct.

Details for k-factor refer to application settings for volume flow measurement.
The calculated air velocity (v) is available in two different units: m/s and ft/min.
Details for setting air density (when deviating from default air density at standard conditions) refer to application
settings for volume flow measurement.
Filter monitoring
By entering filter limit values for the differential pressure, the EE600 is able to calculate a level of contamination
for the monitored filter in order to plan maintenance activities.
Contamination level [%] =
measured ∆p - ∆p new filter
∆p change filter - ∆p new filter
For example:
With the application settings of ∆p change filter = 800 Pa and ∆p new filter = 100 Pa, a measured differential
pressure at the filter of ∆p = 450 Pa would mean a level of contamination of 50 %
Dierential Pressure Sensor | 23
User Manual EE600
Level indicator
By entering the density of a fluid the EE600 can act as a level indicator. The differential pressure level
measurement uses the pressure values and the specific weight of the fluid to represent the level in a tank (refer to
Fig. 8 Mounting examples).

By applying the positive pressure connection into the tank, the user can measure the height of the fluid column.
The level measurement is available in two different units: cm and inch. The maximum measurable level is limited
by the highest differential pressure range 0…10 000 Pa. For water with a density of 998 kg/m3 , for example, the
maximum height at 10 000 Pa is 102 cm (40 inch).
6 Maintenance and Service
The EE600 does not require any special maintenance, nevertheless it is recommended to perform a zero point
adjustment every 12 month. If needed, the enclosure may be cleaned and the device may be re-adjusted as
described below.
6.1 Cleaning
Use a damp soft cloth to remove deposits of dust or dirt from the exterior of the device and from the display. Do
not attempt to clean the interior of the device. Do not use any solvents, alcohol or abrasive cleaning agents.
6.2 Repairs
Repairs may be carried out by the manufacturer only. The attempt of unauthorized repair excludes any warranty
claims.
6.3 Re-adjustment of the EE600
A periodical re-adjustment of EE600 might be required by the regulations of certain industries or by the need of
best long-term measurement accuracy. The zero point and the span point can be adjusted with push buttons on
the EE600 electronics board.
For adjustment the device must be powered and the enclosure cover removed. Consequently, the adjustment
may be performed by authorised staff only, observing the handling of electrical sensitive devices (ESD).
6.3.1. Zero Point Adjustment
The zero point adjustment is used to correct an eventual zero point deviation.
1. Remove the tubes from both pressure connections of the EE600. This ensures that the pressure is the same
at both connections. If the sensor has an auto-zero setting, the tubes do not need to be removed.
2. Press the “zero point” button 1-2 seconds (refer to chapter 3 Product Description).
3. Successful zero point adjustment is confirmed by the green LED lighting up for 2 seconds.
4. If the red LED lights up for 2 seconds, this indicates that the zero point adjustment was not successful.
In this case, please repeat step 2.
Dierential Pressure Sensor | 24
PLEASE NOTE
The zero point adjustment (step 2) may not be successful because the deviation is more than 5 % of the
original full scale value of the device. This is 50 Pa for the 0...1 000 Pa range and 500 Pa from the 0...10 000
Pa range. If the zero point adjustment is not successful even after pressing the button for at least 10
seconds, the deviation is too high for zeroing. Please check the sensor, the tubes and the environment and
make sure that the pressure connection nipples are free.
6.3.2. Span Point Adjustment
The span point adjustment is used to correct an eventual deviation of the span value.
PLEASE NOTE
Make sure that you carry out a zero point adjustment as described above before setting the measuring range
point.
1. Connect the differential pressure reference device / calibrator to the EE600 and set it according to the EE600
span value to be adjusted.
2. Note: The span value has to be set according to the selected measurement range.
User Manual EE600
Example:
Analogue version: (refer to chapter 5.1.1. Select the Measuring Range with S1 and S2, Tab. 3)
EE600-HV53A7, S1 = 0, S2 = 1, span value = 5 000 Pa
Digital version: EE600-HV52J3, span value = 1 000 Pa
EE600-HV53J3, span value = 10 000 Pa
PLEASE NOTE
Observe the User Manual of the reference device.
3. Press the span point adjustment button (refer to chapter 3 Product Description).
4. Successful span point adjustment is confirmed by the green LED lighting up for 2 seconds.
5. If the red LED lights up for 2 seconds, this indicates that the span point adjustment was not successful.
In this case, please repeat step 2.
6. Successful span point adjustment is confirmed by the green LED lighting up for 2 seconds.
PLEASE NOTE
The span point adjustment (step 2) may not be successful because the deviation is more than 5 % of the
original full scale value of the device.
This is 50 Pa for the 0...1 000 Pa range and 500 Pa from the 0...10 000 Pa range. In this case, the set point
adjustment can be forced by pressing and holding the span point button for 10 seconds. If the zero point
adjustment is not successful even after pressing the key for at least 10 seconds, then the deviation is too
high for zeroing. Please check the sensor, the tubes and the environment and make sure that the pressure
connection nipples are free.
6.3.3. Return to Factory Adjustment
1. Press and hold simultaneously both “zero” and “span” buttons for 5 seconds.
2. The successful return to the factory setting is confirmed by the green LED lighting up for 2 seconds.
3. If the red LED lights up for 2 seconds, this indicates that the factory reset was not successful.
In this case, repeat step 2.
PLEASE NOTE
Return to factory adjustment affects both zero and span.
Dierential Pressure Sensor | 25
6.3.4. Auto-zero (Optional)
With auto-zero, no maintenance of the sensor is necessary. Auto-zero is carried out every 24 hours (factory
setting). The interval can be set from 10 minutes up to 7 days and can be changed by using PCS 10 and the USB
configuration adapter (refer to chapter 5.4 PCS10 Product Configuration Software). For this purpose DIP switch
9 (refer to chapter 5.1.6 Select the Source of Settings with S9) has to be in position 1 (ON). During the auto-zero
procedure (takes approx. 4 s), the green LED flashes quickly (see chapter 3.4.1 LED Indication) and the output
signal value is frozen.
PLEASE NOTE
If the auto-zero interval was changed via PCS10 and DIP switch settings are applied again, the auto-zero
interval value will be adopted.
