Differential Pressure Flow Pickup Tubes
SSS-1000 Series
Mounting for Differential Pressure Flow
To mount the pickup tubes for differential pressure:
1. Determine the duct’s ow direction and install the
pickup tubes based on the ow arrow imprint.
NOTE: The pickup tubes must be mounted with the
FLOW arrow imprint pointing in the direction of
the air ow.
2. Cut a 7/8" (22 mm) hole in the duct to accept the pickup
tubes.
3. Attach the pickup tubes to the duct using two self-
tapping screws inserted through the 3/16" (5 mm)
mounting holes.
Connections
Use appropriately sized polyethylene tubing to connect the
pickup tubes to the controller:
• For connecting SSS-10xx pickup tubes with CSC-3000
series, CSP-4000/5000 series, KMD-7000 series, and
BAC-7000/8000/9000 series controllers, use a barb
union adapter and tubing sized appropriately to the
pickup tubes and controller. For maximum accuracy in
the CSP-5000 series, KMD-7000 series, and BAC-7000
series controllers, the 3/8" OD tubing between the
pickup tubes and the adapter should be as short as
possible, and the 1/4" OD tubing from the adapter to
the controller should be 24" long (on both the High and
the Low sides).
• OR use the equivalent SSS-101x pickup tubes and just
1/4" OD tubing (no adapter is necessary). For maximum
accuracy in the CSP-5000 series, KMD-7000 series, and
BAC-7000 series controllers, the 1/4" OD tubing from
the pickup tubes to the controller should be 24" long
(on both the High and the Low sides).
NOTE: For other controllers, the length of the tubing
should not be longer than necessary.
NOTE: CSC-2000 series controllers have ports for 3/8"
tubing (the same as the SSS-10xx pickup tubes).
Check that there are no sharp bends in the tubing at any
connection. Bends and creases may leak as tubing ages.
1. Connect the Port “H” to the “High” input on the VAV
controller.
2. Connect the Port “L” to the “Low” input on the VAV
controller.

Connections
Using appropriately sized polyethylene tubing, connect
either the H or L port on the pickup tubes to the High port
on the controller.
NOTE: The other port of the pickup tubes is left
unconnected and open to air.
NOTE: Tubing should be free of kinks and restrictions.
Mounting for Static Pressure
To mount the pickup tubes for static pressure:
1. Determine the duct’s ow direction and install the
pickup tubes so that the FLOW arrow imprint is
perpendicular to the direction of the air ow.
NOTE: The FLOW arrow imprint on the pickup tubes can
point either up or down.
NOTE: It is recommended that an indication or marking
be applied to the SSS-10xx probe to indicate the
intended orientation.
2. Cut a 7/8" (22 mm) hole in the duct to accept the pickup
tubes.
3. Attach the pickup tubes to the duct using two self-
tapping screws inserted through the 3/16" (5 mm)
mounting holes.
NOTE: If mounting SSS-10xx pickup tubes perpendicular
to a relatively small diameter round duct,
take care not to break the pickup tubes by
overtightening the screws and overexing the
plastic mount.

NOTE: The appropriate “K” factor for the pickup tubes
depends upon the type of setup required by the
VAV controller with which it will be used:
• For VAV controllers that require KCFM for setup, refer to
the “Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM)” chart below and
the device documentation for additional information.
For rectangular ducts, KCFM = KFPM x (W" x H"/144) (with
duct cross-section measurements in inches).
• For VAV controllers that require KFPM for setup, refer
to the “Feet Per Minute” chart below and the device
documentation for additional information.
