Recently, Setra hosted a webinar presenting the Model AXD. The Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor is the platform for Setra's industrial transducer future. It is the best performing low range and vacuum sensor in this price range on the market.

Critical environments are spaces where highly controlled processes take place. These room conditions prioritize safety of personnel and the protection of assets. Poor environmental control in these high-consequence applications can put people, processes, or products at risk. Examples of critical environments include:

Advancements in technology have created a need for enhanced pressure sensing technology, the next generation of pressure transducers. To meet this new demand, we designed the Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor, the updated and improved version of the Model 209. The Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor is built leveraging the strength of the 209's variable capacitance sensor paired with a new electronics platform. With enhanced performance through digital signal conditioning and a rugged, laser-welded construction, the Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor has the reliability and accuracy necessary for industrial and OEM applications.

Come see Setra at the 2019 ASHP Midyear Show in Las Vegas! We will be exhibiting at Booth 1769. The show runs from December 9-11.

We recently interviewed one of our sales managers about Setra FLEX. He answered some of the most common questions related to FLEX and its capabilities as a hub.

Vacuum pressure sensors are employed in a range of industrial applications, from high-speed injection molding to semiconductor manufacturing to raw material handling. They can also be found in many different medical and dental devices. These types of medical and dental devices utilize a relatively low vacuum pressure to remove matter. Depending on the specific application, these devices vary from finely controlling aspiration in human organs to saliva ejectors at the dentist. Certain surgical equipment will evacuate minuscule amounts of matter or tissue that are removed as part of a medical procedure. Vacuum sensors can also be used for pressure testing disposable medical devices to ensure there are no leaks.

Undergoing renovation and expansion leads to a hospital reconsidering its critical environment monitoring for the present and the future. The medical facility in question was looking for room pressure monitors that would meet existing and any new codes and guidelines released in upcoming years. They didn't want to install room pressure monitors to be only minimally code compliant; rather, they were looking to meet requirements and monitor many ASHRAE Standard 170 spaces that don't strictly require monitors. Monitoring is crucial for proper cleanliness conditions, and the Joint Commission and CMS inspectors tend to scrutinize all ASHRAE 170 pressurized spaces.

AHR 2020 is coming up in Orlando! Setra will be at Booth 973 from February 3 through the 5. Keep an eye out for announcements of the products we will be bringing!

We recently interviewed one of our sales managers about the Setra Lite. He answered some of the most common questions around this innovate product.

Buildings have a considerable impact on the environment, using energy and other resources while generating potentially harmful waste. To reduce the impact of buildings on the environment, green building standards for sustainable design are now in practice. These standards detail requirements for designing, constructing, and operating buildings in a way that uses fewer resources and produces less waste.
