Product Name 0-10V Static Pressure Sensor for Livestock Houses
Product Image 0-10V static pressure sensor for livestock houses
Product Overview The 0-10V Static Pressure Sensor for Livestock Houses is designed for continuous differential pressure monitoring in mechanically ventilated pig houses, poultry houses and other enclosed livestock buildings. It converts the measured pressure difference into a standard 0-10V DC analog signal for connection to compatible livestock climate controllers, ventilation computers and farm automation systems.

By monitoring the pressure difference between the inside of the livestock house and an outdoor or designated reference point, the sensor provides real-time feedback for automatic control of exhaust fans, air inlets, actuators and other ventilation equipment.

The compact electronic design, digital pressure indication and controller-compatible analog output make the sensor suitable for commercial livestock farms, new steel structure farm buildings, ventilation renovation projects and centralized environmental control systems.
Key Features
  • 0-10V DC analog output for integration with compatible livestock climate controllers.
  • High-sensitivity measurement for low-pressure ventilation applications.
  • Real-time monitoring of livestock house static or differential pressure.
  • Suitable for negative-pressure ventilation systems in pig and poultry production buildings.
  • Built-in digital display allows operators to check the current pressure value locally.
  • Supports automatic coordination of exhaust fans, air inlets and ventilation actuators.
  • Compact wall-mounted structure simplifies installation in service rooms, corridors and control areas.
  • Pressure tubing connections provide separate indoor and reference pressure measurement points.
  • Suitable for new livestock farm construction and existing ventilation system upgrades.
  • Project-specific sensor configuration and installation accessories are available upon request.
Structural Components
  • Differential Pressure Sensing Element: Detects small pressure differences between two measurement points.
  • Digital Display: Shows the current static pressure reading directly at the installation location.
  • Electronic Signal Module: Converts pressure measurement into a proportional 0-10V DC output signal.
  • Pressure Ports: Connect indoor and outdoor or reference pressure tubing to the sensing element.
  • Protective Housing: Encloses the electronic components for livestock building installations.
  • Electrical Cable Connections: Provide power supply and signal connection to the climate control system.
  • Mounting Flanges: Allow convenient fixing to walls, panels or equipment mounting surfaces.
  • Pressure Tubing: Connects the sensor to selected pressure sampling points within the ventilation system.
Working Principle / Structural Principle The sensor measures differential pressure by comparing the air pressure at two separate pressure ports. One port is normally connected to the interior of the livestock house, while the second port is connected to an outdoor atmospheric reference or another defined pressure point.

When exhaust fans operate, they create negative pressure inside the livestock building. The sensing element detects the resulting pressure difference and converts it into an electrical signal. The output is transmitted as a 0-10V DC analog signal to the livestock climate controller.

The controller can use this signal to adjust inlet opening positions, fan stages or variable-speed ventilation equipment. Maintaining the required pressure helps guide incoming air through designed air inlets and supports more consistent airflow distribution throughout the animal zone.

Installation & Maintenance Installation:
  • Mount the sensor vertically on a stable wall or control panel in an accessible location.
  • Connect the indoor pressure port to a representative point inside the livestock building.
  • Route the reference tube to an outdoor or other stable reference-pressure location.
  • Protect the outdoor reference point from direct wind, rainfall, dust and blockage.
  • Avoid crushed tubing, sharp bends and unnecessary tubing length.
  • Connect the power supply and 0-10V signal wiring according to the controller wiring requirements.
  • Verify zero pressure and controller readings before final system commissioning.
Maintenance:
  • Inspect tubing periodically for dust, moisture accumulation, cracks or leakage.
  • Keep pressure ports clear of debris and insects.
  • Check electrical terminals and cable connections during scheduled farm maintenance.
  • Confirm the displayed pressure value after major ventilation system servicing.
  • Do not blow compressed air directly into the sensor pressure ports unless specifically permitted by the sensor instructions.
  • Functional verification or calibration should follow the selected sensor and farm maintenance requirements.
Project Cases Typical Project Applications:
  • Commercial Pig House: A 0-10V pressure sensor provides continuous feedback to a climate controller for coordinated exhaust fan and air inlet operation.
  • Poultry House Minimum Ventilation: Differential pressure monitoring helps maintain the required inlet pressure during low ventilation stages.
  • Steel Structure Livestock Building: Static pressure sensors can be integrated with ventilation control panels during new farm construction.
  • Ventilation Retrofit: Existing livestock houses can be upgraded with electronic pressure monitoring when replacing or modernizing climate controllers.
  • Central Exhaust System: Pressure feedback can be used in centralized duct systems where stable suction pressure is required.
Product FAQ

Q1: What is the purpose of a static pressure sensor in a livestock house?
It measures the pressure difference between the inside of the livestock building and a reference point, providing feedback for ventilation and air inlet control.

Q2: What does the 0-10V output mean?
The sensor converts the measured pressure into a proportional 0-10V DC analog signal that can be read by a compatible climate controller or automation system.

Q3: Can this sensor be used in pig houses?
Yes. It is suitable for negative-pressure ventilation systems in commercial pig houses, including farrowing, nursery, gestation and finishing buildings.

Q4: Is it also suitable for poultry houses?
Yes. Static pressure monitoring is widely used in broiler, breeder and layer house ventilation systems.

Q5: Can it work with different livestock climate controllers?
It can be integrated with controllers that support the corresponding 0-10V analog input. Controller compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

Q6: Can the measurement range be customized?
Yes. Alternative pressure ranges and project configurations are available upon request.

Q7: Where should the outdoor pressure tube be installed?
The reference tube should terminate at a location representing stable outdoor pressure and should be protected from direct wind, water and blockage.

Q8: What information should be provided for quotation?
Please provide the livestock species, building dimensions, ventilation system type, required pressure range, controller model, power supply and project location.
