AC6-SP+
AC6-SP+

Designed to deliver extremely high levels of accuracy when measuring differential pressures up to a maximum of 250 kPa. Ideal for taking measurements from traditional balancing valves; on installations where the total system pressure does not exceed 10 bar; and in ambient temperatures up to 35°C.

  • Measurement Range:
    • 0.5 kPa – 250 kPa
  • Temperature Limits:
    • Line Fluid (at the sensor): +2°C to +50°C
    • Ambient: +2°C to +35°C
  • Accuracy:
    • +/- 1.0% of reading, or
    • +/- 0.1 kPa, whichever is greater
  • Maximum Total System Pressure:
    • 10 bar

Extensive Valve Database

The performance characteristics of over 6,000 valves – from 80+ manufacturers – are pre-programmed into the AC6-SP+ and this extensive knowledge-base is continually being updated as new valves are introduced onto the market. Valve data files are automatically updated whenever an AC6-SP+ is serviced by us.

Simplicity

A nine-button navigation pad allows simple access to the easy-to-follow menu system and state-of-the-art software allows direct reading of flowrate, differential pressure, percentage of design flow and percentage of target flow. Display backlights ensure that on-screen data is always easy to read, even in the darkest of areas.

Sophistication

The use of tried-and-tested electronics; industry-leading pressure-sensors; highly successful mechanics; bespoke firmware; and an extensive on-board database of valves deliver a powerful, flexible, accurate, easy-to-use tool for the discerning commissioning engineer.

Display Options

DP & Flow Display — shows differential pressure and flow, along with details of the target valve/device. Normally the most appropriate display option when taking measurements from fixed-orifice & variable-orifice balancing valves.

Advanced Display — shows more complex commissioning data and may be preferred to the DP & Flow Display if automatic balancing valves are being measured or if a system of proportional balancing is being adopted.

DP Only Display — only shows the measured differential pressure – in large text – and may be preferred when the AC6 is being used as a simple manometer.

Velocity (Flushing) Display — shows the derived velocity – in both metric (m/s) and imperial (ft/s) units – and may be preferred when fluid velocities are being measured for the purposes of system flushing.

Languages Choose between English, French, Italian & Spanish for the displaying of available menu options.
Security PIN Code As per user-preference, set an optional security PIN Code, which will asked for after every battery change.
Units

For Differential Pressure, choose your preferred units from: kPa, psi, bar, cmH2O, IWGA (inches water gauge), Ft HD (feet head) or Pa.

For Flow, choose your preferred units from: l/s, l/m, l/h, USGPM, UKGPM, m3/h, m3/m or m3/s.
