The BAPI ZPM (Zone Pressure Multi-Sensor) is a field-configurable differential pressure transmitter that replaces five or more fixed-range sensors on your truck or shelf. A single BA/ZPM-SR-ST-D-BB covers 10 pressure ranges up to ±2.5_ WC and three selectable output signals, so one SKU spans most common standard-range HVAC and building-pressurization applications.
This variant ships in the BAPI-Box (IP66/NEMA 4) enclosure with the lcd display and static pressure probe. Every range, output, and zero-point is set with DIP switches and a front-panel zero button Ñ no software, no handheld, no service trip needed if the application changes.
Field-Configurable
10 pressure ranges, 3 output signals (4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC), and push-button zero Ñ all DIP-switch selectable without opening a laptop.
LCD Display
2-line backlit LCD for live pressure readout, range/output/zero setup, and status. Ideal for installers who need a live numeric readout for commissioning and troubleshooting.
Static Pressure Probe Included
Includes a low-profile static pressure pickup probe for in-duct mounting. Saves a line item on your BOM and arrives ready to mount.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the accuracy of the BAPI ZPM SR?
±0.25% of full scale (combined linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability) at reference conditions, with long-term stability under ±1% F.S. per year.
What output signals does the BA/ZPM-SR-ST-D-BB support?
4-20 mA (2-wire loop), 0-5 VDC, and 0-10 VDC. The signal is selected on a DIP switch inside the cover Ñ all three are native, not multiplexed.
Can this unit read negative (bidirectional) pressure?
Yes. SR boards have a DIRECTION DIP switch that toggles between unidirectional (0 to +range) and bidirectional (_range to +range), giving you 10 effective range choices from this one part number.
How do I change the range or output signal in the field?
Remove the cover, locate the DIP-switch bank on the main board, and set the range and output per the label silkscreened inside the enclosure. A push-button zero on the front panel re-zeros the sensor for the new range. No firmware, handheld, or tooling required.
What does the LCD show?
A 2-line backlit display showing live pressure in the selected engineering units, plus a setup mode for range, output, direction, and zero. Useful during commissioning and for spot-checking without a meter.
What does the Static Pressure Probe option include?
Includes a low-profile static pressure pickup probe for in-duct mounting. Arrives assembled and ready to mount Ñ no separate probe line item needed on your BOM.
What's the enclosure rating?
BAPI-Box: IP66 / NEMA 4 rated impact-resistant polycarbonate. Suitable for dusty, washdown-adjacent, or humid mechanical rooms. Not rated for hazardous locations.
Is this covered by warranty, and how long?
Yes Ñ 5-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, one of the longest in the BAS differential-pressure category. Register the product with BAPI and keep your invoice for warranty claims.
