Water Pressure Meter?

Hi,

I have a boiler that has been installed in a very inaccessible space and would like to monitor water pressure via the netlinx system.

Has anybody done this? Or know of hardware thats available to do so?

I've done something sililar to monitor pool pump pressures. All you need is a pressure transducer and a means of getting its data into your system.

I use Wika ECO-1 sensor. The last one I got came from a company called Industrial Automation.

The sensor uses a DC voltage for supply and returns 0-10 DC for 0-60 PSI.

I am feeding the return voltage into a AXC-VAI2 card in an Axcent 3 Pro. You have to mathematically scale the voltage to your pressure range in code, but it works just fine.

Be sure to get a transducer rated for the operating temperature of your boiler. The smaller the pressure range of the transducer, the more accurate your readings will be. All you will have to do is tee it into where your existing gauge is.

Have fun

thanks! looks fairly simple
