HP Air Pressure Base Station

Overview: Air Pressure Base Station

The air pressure base station is a wireless device that monitors the differential pressure across areas of the data center and sends the information to the gateway.

The air pressure base station monitors and compares the difference between the pressure below the floor and the pressure above the floor.

Installing the HP Air Pressure Base Station

1.Determine the location for the air pressure base station in your data center.

2.Cut one air tube so that it can reach from the air pressure base station to the area below the floor that you want to monitor.

3.Cut the other air tube approximately 7-cm (3-inch) long.

4.Connect air diffusers to one end of each air tube.

NOTE: To receive accurate air pressure readings, avoid the following locations under the sub-floor:

•Potentially turbulent air flow

•Support columns or beams

•Water pipes

5.Install the long air tube. This tube monitors pressure in the desired area below the floor.

a.Attach a flag label indicating the positive terminal to the long air tube.

b.Insert the long air tube into the positive terminal on the air pressure base station.
