Swiss Made Sensor.
Swiss Made Sensor.
The sensor is designed in the USA. The differential air pressure & temperature sensor components are made in Switzerland.
No PC or Software Required
The InfraSensing sensors connect to the base unit (BASE-5). The base unit is a standalone device that has its own IP address in your network. On its own it will monitor the sensor and trigger alerts via email, SNMP or optional SMS when needed.
There is no software or PC required for the sensors to run.
With our optional Monitoring Software you can centrally monitor sensors with trending and more. This is optional and not required.
Wired or Wireless
By default all sensors are connected to the SensorGateway (BASE-5) using a CAT6 or higher RJ45 cable.
Using the optional Wireless Hub & Node modules, any sensor can be turned into a wireless sensor.

RS485 (Modbus RTU) version
Looking to integrate this sensor with your own gateway or industrial control system? For large accounts customers or OEMs we now do offer a RS-485 version of this sensor. It has the same specs as the normal sensor. However rather than talking to our base unit and then communicate over industrial protocols with 3rd party systems, this version allows for native integration bypassing our base units.
It offers the same features as our regular sensors but with following differences:
- RS485 Modbus RTU output
- individually addressable using dial switch
- 256 addresses available
- 12-24v DC input

Monitoring differential air pressure
with InfraSensing's ENV-AIRPRESSURE sensor
There are a few reasons why a differential air pressure sensor might be used to monitor the air pressure under a raised floor in a data center:
To ensure proper airflow: In a data center, it is important to maintain proper airflow in order to keep the servers and other equipment cool. By monitoring the air pressure under the raised floor, the data center operators can ensure that there is enough airflow to keep the equipment at the correct temperature.
To detect leaks: A differential air pressure sensor can be used to detect leaks in the air ducts under the raised floor. If there is a leak, the sensor will detect a change in the air pressure, which can then be used to identify and fix the leak.
To optimize energy efficiency: By monitoring the air pressure under the raised floor, data center operators can optimize the airflow in the data center to be as energy efficient as possible. This can help to reduce energy costs and improve the overall efficiency of the data center.

How It works.
The ENV-AIRPRESSURE sensor connects to the the base unit. This makes the device an ethernet differential air pressure & temperature sensor. The sensor measures the differential air pressure and the air temperature. This sensor is designed to monitor conditions in data centers and other sensitive area's. It can also be used in healthcare facilities to monitor air flow to ensure that air is refreshed as per required standaards. Alerting via email, SMS, voice call. Integrates with BMS platforms using the Modbus TCP protocol. Or with NMS systems through SNMP GET and SNMP TRAPS. Integrates with industrial control systems (ICS) using the ADDON-RTU with the Modbus RTU (RS485) protocol.
