Installation
IMPORTANT: The RPM1600 Series Room Pressure Monitors must be wired to 24 VAC only. Wiring the unit to
110 VAC will cause serious damage to the unit and void the warranty.
These instructions guide the installer through the installation of the RPM1600 Series Room Pressure Monitors. The
installation instructions cover all monitor versions. Unless specified otherwise, these figures and instructions apply
to all versions. Please read these instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.

Mount the thermal anemometer (TA) sensor or differential pressure transducer (DPT) through the wall between the
controlled space (isolation room) and referenced space (anteroom/hallway). See Thermal Anemometer (TA)
Sensor Installation on page 3 and Differential Pressure Transducer (DPT) Installation on page 4.
Thermal Anemometer (TA) Sensor Installation
IMPORTANT: Install the TA sensor through the wall between the controlled space (isolation room) and
referenced space (hallway), exactly as shown in Figure 3.
IMPORTANT: Do not touch the sensor element in the pressure sensor. Do not run wires through the air
passage. Doing so will damage the sensing element.
Determine the location for the TA sensor (Figure 1 and Figure 3). Mount the TA sensor in the reference space, and
mount the dummy housing in the isolation room.
Note: The TA sensor is not symmetrical. If the TA sensor is to be centered over the hallway door, measure one
inch to the left of center for 2-1/4 in. (57 mm) hole. The dummy sensor will be 2 in. (51 mm) off-center on the other
side of the wall.
1. Orient the TA sensor on the wall as shown in Figure 2. Looking at the mounted sensor, the 2-1/4 in. (57 mm)
sensor hole is on the left and wire hole is on the right.

2. Drill a 2-1/4 in. (57 mm) hole through each side of the wall to accept the sensor tube.
3. Drill a 7/8 in. (22 mm) hole on the side of the wall that the TA sensor will be mounted. This hole is for the
six-conductor sensor cable. Refer to Figure 2 for a hole-mounting pattern.
4. Slide the sensor cover to the right and remove the screw that holds the sensor base to the TA sensor
(Figure 2). Remove the pressure sensor and store it in a safe place.
5. From the side of the wall on which the TA sensor will be mounted, slide the sensor tube through the wall. Mark
the tube where it is flush with the wall.
6. Remove the sensor tube and cut the tube 1/8 inch (3 mm) shorter than the flush marking.
Note: If the 12 in. (305 mm) sensor tube needs to be extended, use same size or larger diameter tube. Drill a hole
in the dummy case. The hole must be large enough to match the inside diameter of the tube used to extend the
sensor tube.
7. From the side of the wall on which the TA sensor will be mounted, slide the sensor tube through the wall.
8. Slide the dummy base over the end of the tube.
9. Screw the pressure sensor base and dummy base to the wall (Figure 3).

10. Wire the pressure sensor as shown in Figure 7 to Figure 8. Run the sensor cable to the RPM.
11. Insert fire protection sealant (provided) into the 7/8 in. (22 mm) wire hole to seal it.
12. Install and screw the pressure sensor and dummy cover onto the bases. Slide the covers to the left to hide the
sensor.
The finished installation should look like Figure 3.

IMPORTANT: The pressure plates must be mounted in the wall between the controlled space (clean room) and
referenced space (hallway), exactly as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
Install the DPT in the desired location (typically above ceiling). Install the pressure plates on the wall in the correct
position, as shown in Figure 4 (screws not provided). Do not install the DPT or DPT pickup plates on a duct or other
vibrating surface.
1. Wire the DPT as shown in Figure 8. Run the cable to the RPM.
2. Determine the DPT pickup plate’s location (Figure 1 and Figure 4). The pressure sensor typically mounts in the
reference space, and the plate mounts in the clean room.
3. Drill a 2-1/4 in. (57 mm) hole through each side of the wall to accept the sensor tube.
4. Run pneumatic tubing from the DPT to sensor locations.
• For a positively pressurized space, connect the high port to the controlled space and the low port to the
reference space.
• For a negatively pressurized space, connect the low port to the controlled space and the high to the
reference space.
5. Connect the pneumatic tubing to the nipple on the back side of the pressure plate.
6. Insert the pressure plate into the hole in the wall. Screw the pressure plate to the wall.

Wiring
IMPORTANT: Do not apply voltage to the RS-485 output, BACnet® output, analog output, or control output.
Severe damage may occur to the unit if voltage is applied.
IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make all wiring in accordance with local, national, and regional
regulations.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the unit’s electrical ratings. Exceeding the unit’s electrical ratings can result in
permanent damage to the modules and void any warranty.
IMPORTANT: Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from all high-voltage wiring. Shielded cable is
strongly recommended for input (sensor) and analog output cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or
radio frequency noise.
IMPORTANT: Electrostatic discharge can damage the unit. Use proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
precautions during installation and servicing to avoid damaging the unit.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect supply power to the unit before checking all wiring connections. Short circuits or
improperly connected wires can result in damage to the unit and void any warranty.
Recommendations
Use 18 to 22 AWG (1.0 to 0.6 mm diameter) stranded wire.
Follow good wiring practices:
• Control cables should cross power cables at a 90-degree angle.
• Use a consistent color code to maintain polarity.
• Use a star configuration (home-run wiring) for control signals. Do not use a series configuration (daisy-chain
wiring).
• Use series configuration (daisy-chain wiring) for connecting the nurses station display (NSD) to room pressure
monitors (RPMs) and room pressure controllers (RPCs).
Procedure
1. Remove the connectors from the back of the RPM.
2. Refer to the wiring diagrams (Figure 7 to Figure 18) for proper wiring installation.
If additional options need to be wired, refer to building prints for proper wiring diagram.
3. Plug the connectors back into the RPM.
4. Carefully push the wires into the electrical box and mount the RPM. Install four screws to hold pressure monitor
firmly to base. Install cover and slide left to hide display.
5. Press the cover plate onto the RPM.

IMPORTANT: Use MS-BACEOL-0 end-of-line (EOL) terminations if the installed device is the last device in the
communications chain. The 100 Ohm reference resistors are optional.

IMPORTANT: Use 3-wire, 22 AWG, stranded, twisted and shielded cable for all MS/TP wiring. When wiring
2-Wire MS/TP devices [+ and - terminals (but no common terminal)] with 3-wire MS/TP devices [like the FEC
controllers] on the same trunk, use a wire nut to connect the COM wires at the 2-wire device. Use all three
conductors at the 3-wire devices.
For information on wiring BACnet MS/TP communications, refer to the MS/TP Communications Bus Technical
Bulletin, LIT-12011034. If you need assistance installing the system, call Johnson Controls® customer service at
1-800-275-5676.
Repair Information
If the RPM1600 Series Room Pressure Monitor fails to operate within its specifications, refer to the
RPM1600 Series Room Pressure Monitor Product Bulletin (LIT-12012331) for ordering information. For a
