The BAPI BA/ZPMB-LR-NT-D-BB is a field-configurable Zone Pressure Multi-Sensor (ZPM) in BAPI’s IP66-rated BAPI-Box 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 SW8) and three field-selectable outputs (4 to 20 mA, 0 to 5 VDC, or 0 to 10 VDC). Output, range, units (inches WC or Pascals), response time, and direction are all set via DIP switches without powering the unit. This configuration includes the bulkhead fitting for a separately ordered static probe and features an LCD display that shows live pressure for quick commissioning and troubleshooting.
Five Switch-Selectable Ranges
DIP switches SW3–SW5 select between five low range pressure ranges up to 0 to 1.00” WC. Switch SW6 toggles inches WC or Pascals, and SW8 switches between unidirectional and bidirectional operation. No re-ordering, no re-stocking, no re-calibration for range changes.
Three Output Types, One SKU
Switches SW1 & SW2 select 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 5 VDC, or 0 to 10 VDC output. Powered from 13–40 VDC (4-20 mA) or 7–40 VDC / 18–28 VAC (VDC outputs). Load resistance 850Ω max at 24 VDC for current output, 6 kΩ min for voltage output.
LCD Display + Flexible Probe Options
The onboard LCD reads actual pressure regardless of the selected range — dramatically faster troubleshooting. Bulkhead fitting is included for a separately ordered ZPS-ACC07 probe or direct tubing from custom pickups (wall/ceiling plates, twin-port filter pressure-drop, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I select bidirectional vs. unidirectional mode on the BA/ZPMB-LR-NT-D-BB?
DIP switch SW8 selects direction. In bidirectional mode a nominal 1” range becomes −1” to +1”; in unidirectional mode the same setting becomes 0” to +1”. Always perform the auto-zero procedure after changing SW8 or any other configuration switch.
Does this no-probe (-NT) variant include any probe hardware?
The BA/ZPMB-LR-NT-D-BB includes the BAPI-Box pressure sensor with bulkhead fitting installed in the enclosure, four self-tapping mounting screws, cover latch screws, and deadhead tubing for auto-zero. A static pressure probe is not included — order the BA/ZPS-ACC07 (6” aluminum static probe) separately if required for the application.
What does the LCD display show, and does it depend on the selected range?
The LCD displays actual measured pressure continuously, in the selected units (inches WC or Pascals), regardless of which of the five pressure ranges is currently selected. This is independent of the output scaling and is specifically useful for troubleshooting controller scaling and verifying auto-zero.
