Dwyer Instruments A-306 Mounting Bracket
The Dwyer Instruments A-306 Mounting Bracket is a critical component for technicians establishing a stable outdoor static pressure reference in building automation and HVACR systems. Specifically designed to mitigate the impact of fluctuating wind gusts, this static pressure sensor ensures that sensitive controls—such as Magnehelic gauges, pressure switches, and VAV controllers—receive a consistent, accurate signal. By orienting the pickup plate parallel to the ground, the A-306 forces horizontal airflow to move perpendicularly across the pressure orifice, effectively neutralizing dynamic pressure interference in building pressurization applications.
This comprehensive kit includes a ruggedized red sensor body, a versatile L-shaped mounting bracket, and 50 feet of 1/8" vinyl tubing. The bracket is engineered for flexible installation on rooftops, antenna masts, or uneven surfaces, providing the necessary elevation to avoid turbulence caused by chimneys, parapets, or other rooftop obstructions. For optimal performance, contractors should utilize the full length of the provided pneumatic tubing to dampen rapid pressure transients, ensuring long-term stability for exhaust fan tracking and zone damper modulation.
- Wind-Gust Mitigation: Integrated static pressure plates reduce signal noise from high-velocity outdoor air.
- High-Durability Construction: Red pickup body and corrosion-resistant bracket withstand harsh rooftop environments.
- Complete Installation Kit: Includes 50 feet of vinyl tubing and all necessary mounting hardware for immediate deployment.
- Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with differential pressure transmitters and manometers requiring an atmospheric reference.
Common Questions
Where is the best location to mount an outdoor static pressure sensor?
Mount the A-306 in a location free from vibration and at least 12 inches above any rooftop obstructions. Avoid areas near exhaust vents or air intakes to prevent measurement drift or false readings from localized turbulence.
Can I cut the 50-foot vinyl tubing to a shorter length?
While the tubing can be cut, it is standard trade practice to coil any excess vinyl tubing. The extra length acts as a natural snubber, smoothing out rapid pressure fluctuations caused by sudden wind changes before they reach the pressure sensor.
What instruments are compatible with the A-306?
This bracket and sensor assembly are compatible with any HVACR control device using a 1/8" or 3/16" ID tubing connection, including the Dwyer 1910 series pressure switches and 2000 series Magnehelic gauges.
