The BAPI BA/ZPM-LR-NT-ND is a field-configurable Zone Pressure Multi-Sensor (ZPM) in BAPI’s standard IP44/NEMA 2 enclosure. This is the Low Range model with ten field-selectable pressure ranges up to ±1.00” WC (five unidirectional and five bidirectional, switchable via DIP switch) and five field-selectable output signals (4 to 20 mA, 0 to 5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC, 2 to 10 VDC, or 1 to 5 VDC). Output, range, units (inches WC or Pascals), directionality, and response time are all set via DIP switches without powering the unit. A NIST-traceable calibration certificate is included at no extra charge. This configuration includes the bulkhead fitting for a separately ordered static probe or pickup port and features a 3-color LED status indicator (Out of Range Low / In Range / Out of Range High) for at-a-glance line-of-sight pressure status.
10 Field-Selectable Ranges
DIP switches select between ten low range pressure ranges up to ±1.00” WC. SW1 toggles bidirectional or unidirectional operation, doubling the effective range choices from a single unit. No re-ordering or re-stocking when the application changes.
Five Output Signals — One SKU
DIP-switch selectable: 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC, 2 to 10 VDC, or 1 to 5 VDC. All five outputs are native — no multiplexing. Power 7–40 VDC for 4-20 mA; 7–40 VDC or 18–32 VAC for VDC outputs.
3-Color LEDs + NIST Certificate
Three face-mounted LEDs provide Out-of-Range Low / In-Range / Out-of-Range High status at a glance, without accessing the BAS. Cost-optimized no-display variant for installations where the controller already shows live pressure. NIST-traceable calibration certificate included at no extra charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the accuracy of the BAPI ZPM Low Range?
±0.25% of full scale at 77°F (25°C), equivalent to ±0.005” WC (±1.24 Pa) for the Low Range. Total Error Band (covering non-linearity, hysteresis, and thermal effect across the compensated range of 32 to 122°F) is ±1.25% FS or ±0.025” WC (±6.22 Pa). Long-term stability is ±0.25% FS per year. A NIST-traceable calibration certificate is included at no extra charge.
What output signals does the BA/ZPM-LR-NT-ND support?
Five outputs are DIP-switch selectable: 4 to 20 mA (2-wire loop), 0 to 5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC, 2 to 10 VDC, and 1 to 5 VDC. All five are native outputs — not multiplexed. Power requirements differ by output: 7–40 VDC for 4-20 mA; 7–40 VDC or 18–32 VAC for 0-5 / 1-5 VDC; 13–40 VDC or 18–32 VAC for 0-10 / 2-10 VDC.
Can the Low Range ZPM read negative (bidirectional) pressure?
Yes. A DIRECTION DIP switch toggles between unidirectional (0 to +range) and bidirectional (−range to +range), giving 10 effective range choices from this one part number. Bidirectional mode is ideal for building pressurization and room-to-room differential pressure where pressure can swing positive or negative relative to reference.
