Series 500 Sensor Configurations
The APDA-371 has six channels of inputs available on the back of the unit for data logging external sensors. The 500
Series sensors are a set of meteorological sensors designed for direct compatibility with these channels. The sensors
each have an auto-identification (ID) signal wire with a voltage unique to that particular type of sensor. When one of
these sensors is attached to the APDA, the unit senses this ID voltage and automatically configures the channel to read
the sensor with all the correct scaling parameters.
Most APDA-371 units are equipped with at least the ambient temperature sensor BX-592 because ambient temperature
is required on channel six for actual flow control. If the APDA is used for PM
2.5
monitoring, then the BX-596 sensor is
required instead. This is a combination ambient temperature and barometric pressure sensor which attaches to
channels six and seven, and provides the EPA required AT/BP measurements for actual flow control and flow statistics.
The scaling and setups values of the series 500 Sensors are provided in the chart below. The unit should automatically
set these values in the SETUP > SENSORS menu. The ID MODE must be set to AUTO to identify the sensors, or set to
MANUAL to change the parameters.
