Pressure Readings

The Spray Monitor faceplate shows three actual and calibrated pressures at all times:

 

Actual Pressure

Calibrated Pressure

Base Pressure

Fire Pressure

Delta Pressure

(Delta pressure is the difference between the base and fire pressures when the gun sprays.)

NOTE: The Spray Monitors send data to the OI once every second. The pressures shown in the pressure window are the average pressures taken during the one-second increment.

Symbols in Actual Pressure Fields

The following image shows the symbols that may appear in the pressure window.

Example

< or >

Pressure reading is either greater or less than what the pressure transducer can read.

The current pressure transducer range is 0--600 psi. The current base pressure reading is greater than 600 psi, but cannot be precisely determined.

*

The Spray Monitor has not received a signal from the pressure transducer for at least five seconds.

The pressure transducer has not sensed the fire pressure in at least five seconds.

?

The delta pressure cannot be determined because either the base or fire pressure reading is at least five seconds old.

Because the base pressure is out of the transducer's range, an accurate delta pressure value cannot be determined.
