The Setra SRPM Room Pressure Monitor is designed for critical low
differential pressure applications that require stringent pressure monitoring
and alarming. The SRPM can be congured to monitor positive, negative
or neutral pressure in protected environments and hospital isolation rooms
per CDC guidelines. The SRPM is a complete system that includes a backlit
RGB LCD display with a graphic user interface, which enables access to
pressure, security, calibration, and alarm setup. The touch-screen displays
menus that guide the user through setup, as well as setting up password
protection. Red and green LED’s and a local audible alarm (with time delay
feature) alert personnel to system status. The SRPM has a NEMA 1 (IP20)
rated re retardant plastic housing for indoor applications. True differential
pressure is displayed with a resolution of .0001”. Setra’s patented very low
pressure capacitance sensor is dead ended and avoids the potential for
cross contamination of the room and reference space as well as eliminating
drift that results from fouling of ow based sensors, which by nature have a
ow path connecting the protected and reference spaces. Additionally there
are 2 levels of password protection available as well as optional BACnet
MSTP communications.

1.2 SRPM FUNCTION
The SRPM senses very low differential pressure using high accuracy
capacitive sensor technology. The pressure difference for these
applications is the difference in static pressure between a critical
environment room and its surrounding reference area (usually a hallway
or another room). Maintaining and monitoring a static room pressure
difference ensures that the critical environment room is either protected
or isolated from a surrounding environment. Protection strategy requires
a net positive room static pressure difference, while isolation requires a
net negative static pressure difference. The SRPM can be programmed
to monitor either positive or negative room static pressure. Low pressure
sensing technology is coupled with multifunctional alarming and simple
touch screen user interface with password security protection. The BACnet
communication option allows the device to communicate with other
BACnet devices to allow the supervisory system to change conguration
setups and monitor alarms in an open network.
User Interface: LCD Display 128 x 128 COG module, with custom RGB
LED backlight and custom 4-wire resistive touch screen
RGB Backlight. The SRPM indicates the status of the room being
monitored using visual backlight color.
ColorStatus
GreenRoom Pressure is within alarm limits
YellowDoor is open. (Door input must be enabled)
RedRoom Pressure is outside alarm limits and
alarm delay period has been exceeded and
room is not in “No Isolation” mode.
Visual Feedback: LEDs, green for normal, red for alarm
Audible Feedback: Beeper will sound when pressure is out of range and
alarm delay has timed out. Volume can be adjusted between 1 to 4 in
relative sound levels up to the maximum level specication of the beeper
of 85 dB at 4”. Audible alarm can also be disabled.
Quick Room Mode Change: Sometimes the room needs to be changed
quickly from in use (Occupied) to out of use (No Isolation). This is
accomplished by using 2 levels of password protection. The Operator
level allows access to change room modes but no other changes. The
Supervisor Level allows full access to all menus. In No Isolation mode
no alarms are generated even if the pressure is outside limits. To change
modes see page 22, Room Mode Change, for directions to change modes.

3.0 INSTALLATION (See Section 8.0 for overview)
For 120/240 VAC Version, only
The SRPM is designed to be mounted on a standard double gang metal
electrical box using a 4 x 4 inch plaster ring adaptor. After the rough in
wiring and plumbing is performed remove the cover and mount the baseplate
to the plaster ring adaptor using the supplied 6-32 x 1/2” long mounting
screws. Note: The plaster ring external mounting face needs to be positioned
ush to recessed, relative to the surface of the wall. Also note the orientation
of the 4 mounting screws in the plaster ring, as the plaster ring is rotated
90° from conventional mounting.
Note: In the following wiring sections, abbreviations are used (e.g. J1, P3).
Please see section 8.0 for complete wiring diagrams with abbreviations.
CAUTION: Do not open or remove SRPM cover (tool required) with input power applied unless performed by a licensed electrician. “Hazardous Live” voltage is present
!
at connector J3 when power is applied. Please observe the warning symbol ( )
near the J3 power connector.

3.1 WIRING ELECTRICAL BOX (ROUGH IN)
Layout the system in terms of wiring: power, annunciator, analog output,
BACnet, relay output and plumbing to connect to the monitored spaces
(pressure taps).
Bring all power, earth ground, signal, communications and analog output
wiring into the 4x4 electrical box.
Bring 1/4” O.D. tubing for 3/6” Barb tting into box.
In order to conform to the CSA safety standard the electrical installer
must comply with the following earth ground instructions:
1. Pre-wire the electrical box with power (24 VAC or 120/240 VAC), and
provide earth grounding to the electrical box. The safety ground path
consists of four 6-32 x 1/2” metal screws that connect the SRPM metal
base to the 4½ x 4½ metal plaster ring. The plaster ring must be grounded to the 4½ x 4½ electrical box by 2 metal mounting screws. The 4½ x
4½ electrical box must be connected to the building earth ground. In addition, the marked ground wire included in 120/240 VAC version, should
7
be connected to the electrical box earth ground connection. It is also
highly recommended to use armored cable (Type AC) for all the wiring in
applications where high levels of radio interference may be present.
2. For the 120/240 VAC version only, a switch or circuit-breaker should
be included in the building installation. It is advised to indicate the location of the switch or circuit-breaker by means of a label on or nearby the
installed device. The disconnection switch or circuit-breaker should disconnect all current-carrying con ductors. Any line-connected single-pole
switch should be connected to a terminal intended for connection to the
ungrounded conductor of the supply circuit.
Power leads, analog output, door status, and annunciator wiring should be
14 to 22 AWG stranded wire.
BACnet suggested wiring is 22 AWG stranded wire in a shielded cable,
a +,-, Gnd (S) and shield should be run. This can be 2 twisted pairs with
a separate cable shield. One twisted pair is used for communications,
the second twisted pair can be used for communications ground and the
shield wire can be connected to the other device shield wires. For CE
compliance, a properly grounded shielding cable is requried.

3.2 PLUMBING (ATTACHING PRESSURE TUBING)
Warning: Always attach tubing to the SRPM header and then place Header onto
SRPM. This will prevent overpressure from crimped or collapsed tubes.
Use the following procedure for all room types: positive, negative or
neutral:
Typically a Room Pressure Snubber (RPS) is installed in the monitored
room. Often stiff nylon ¼” tubing is used for running pressure signals
from the SRPM to the monitored spaces. To prevent buckling and
collapse of this stiff tubing inside the electrical box, use the supplied soft
silicone tubing and tubing adaptors to transition from the eld tubing to
the pressure ttings on the SRPM.
Attach pressure tubing as follows:
1. Connect the 1/4 inch O. D. tubing running from the RPS (or
other pressure connection from the monitored space) to the 2-gang
electrical box for the SRPM. Install one of the supplied 1/4 inch male
to male barbed tube adaptors onto the end of the tube then push the
4” length silicone tube (supplied) onto the other end. Thread the tubes,
with installed adaptor, through the conduit opening at the bottom of the
electrical box.
2. Next push the open end of the silicone tubing onto the SRPM
pressure tube header (H1) port labeled “+”. Note: The header is an
Electro-Pneumatic (EP) assembly. “+” indicates (Positive) pressure, and
“-” indicates negative or reference pressure.
3. For the most pressure stable operation, an RPS installed in the
reference pressure area is also recommended. In this case, install the
RPS in a hallway or reference space. Attach the tube to the SRPM in the
same way as for the + port, except attach the tube to the “-” port on the
pressure tube header. Tighten swivel ttings on the SRPM Header H1
assembly if they become loose, 9 in lb. max. Verify that the tubes are not
buckled, which could close off pressure signal at end of installation.
