BAPI Innovation
BAPI has earned a reputation as an industry leader by creating innovative and original solutions for common HVAC problems. In fact, BAPI pioneered many products and processes that have become (or will soon become) industry standards, and we currently hold the patent for many of these products and processes.

BAPI WAS THE FIRST TO

Use Etched Teflon Leadwires
Many sensor manufacturers still use PVC insulated leadwires—even though these leadwires are susceptible to moisture infiltration, abrasion, and degradation from temperature extremes. BAPI uses etched Teflon insulated leadwires because Teflon is moisture tight, resists abrasion (even when rubbed against sharp-edged metal junction boxes), and survives large temperature swings.

Offer a 100% Compatibility Guarantee on Peripherals
Any BAPI device that has been installed in an application approved by a BAPI Key Account Specialist or BAPI Engineer is GUARANTEED to be 100% compatible with your HVAC/R system. If the BAPI device proves to be incompatible with your system, BAPI will pay the cost of any LABOR charges incurred to replace this device with another BAPI device only.

Offer a two-wire Zone Pressure Sensor with Display
BAPI's field-selectable Zone Pressure Sensor is an accurate, rugged and economical solution for measuring and reporting duct/building static pressure, room-to-room differential pressure or air velocities/volumes. We also make a full line of Pressure Pickup Ports to accompany the Zone Pressure Sensors. The Room and Wall units can be used for pressure alone or as a combination temperature sensor and pickup port.

Offer a Temp./Humidity Combo Unit with Setpoint Adjustment & Display
The BAPI “X-Combo” Room Unit features local indication of both temperature and humidity in ONE aesthetically-pleasing enclosure. Additional options include Temperature Setpoint, Humidity Setpoint and Local Override. The LCD can toggle between temperature and humidity at a user adjustable rate with °C or °F temperature indication.

OTHER BAPI ORIGINALS INCLUDE:

Washdown Wall Plate Unit
With its non-protruding sensor and filter, and watertight stainless steel wall plate, this unit is perfect for Vivarium Animal Laboratories or other washdown or wipedown locations. It is available as a humidity sensor alone or as a combination temperature and humidity sensor. The unit is also available with a water resistant Pushbutton Override with or without LED indicator.

Perfect for Vivarium Animal Laboratories

Low Profile Room Sensor that fits in a Decora Wall Plate
BAPI's new Decora Style Room Unit fits inside a Decora Style Wall Plate. It features measurement and display of local temperature with optional pushbutton setpoint adjustment. The room temperature is shown on an easy-to-read LCD display.

Now Available with Decorative Wall Plate Covers!

The BAPI-Box Enclosure
The BAPI-Box Enclosure is watertight and carries an IP66 rating which is similar to a NEMA 4X rating. It is made of high impact, UV-resistant polycarbonate and features a gasketed cover for a waterproof seal, a hinged cover to simplify installation, horizontal or vertical mounting with multiple knockouts and a window in the cover for an LCD display. The BAPI-Box Enclosure is available for the full line of BAPI duct, immersion, outside air and pressure sensors.

Snaptrack Mount Zone Pressure Sensor
BAPI's Zone Pressure Sensor is now available in a Snaptrack Mountable package (STM) which fits standard 2.75” snaptrack. Just like IP66-rated enclosure model, the snaptrack mountable sensor features 10 Field Selectable Pressure Ranges and 3 Field Selectable Outputs. The unit also has excellent accuracy, repeatability and stability – even at low pressures.

The BAPI-Guard™ Thermostat Protector
The BAPI-Guard prevents tampering, physical damage and unauthorized adjustment of thermostats. The attractive, low-profile design is available in two sizes to fit most thermostats. It is made of thick, durable polycarbonate and features exceptional airflow, key lock protection, horizontal or vertical mounting and easy installation with hardware included.

100 mA and 350 mA Voltage Converters
Joining BAPI's 75 mA voltage converter are two new models, a 100 mA and 350 mA version. All three voltage converters are a cost effective way of converting 24 VAC to 5, 15 or 24 VDC for use on peripheral devices that require DC voltage. All converters are very compact and designed to fit into standard 2.75" snaptrack.

The VC2700-STM -- 2.7 Amp Voltage Converter
The VC2700-STM is a 2.75" snaptrack-mountable 2.7 amp voltage converter. The unit takes a 24 VAC input and coverts it to a regulated and adjustable output of 3-24 VDC or a fixed output of 5 or 15 VDC.

Fiber Optic Transceiver (FOX) Communication Kit
The Fiber Optic Transceiver (FOX) Communication Kit provides all the functions for one fiber optic and remote RS-485 communications network, plus it comes in a self-contained, easy-to-apply and cost effective assembly.

RS-485 Repeater Communication Kit
RS-485 is the most common communications standard for DDC controllers; however, it is limited to 32 unit loads and 4,000 feet. Extending the network beyond this requires repeaters.
The RS-485 Repeater Communication Kit provides all the functions for one repeater and remote RS-485 network, plus it comes in a self-contained, easy-to-apply and cost effective assembly.

Total Pressure Probe Assembly
The Total Pressure Probe and Static Pressure Probe Assemblies connect to the BAPI Zone Pressure Sensor to provide duct static pressure or duct air velocity. The angled total probe faces into the airflow to sense the moving air’s total pressure while the static probe senses static pressure.

Electronic Technician Assistant (ETA)
BAPI’s Electronic Technician Assistant (ETA) products are a uniform line of interface and communication devices that compliment a DDC installation. They consolidate many of the components being used at present and provide a more complete picture of the system than a laptop computer alone.
The ETA line offers a number of benefits including simplifying the task of wiring and troubleshooting the system, cutting down on control panel clutter and providing additional feedback to the facilities manager and technician to keep the system performing at its optimum level.

Carbon Monoxide Sensor
BAPI’s Carbon Monoxide Sensor offers enhanced, long life electrochemical sensing with outstanding accuracy at low concentrations. The sensor has a range of 1-100 PPM or 1-300 PPM of CO with a resolution of 1 PPM and a linear output of 4-20 mA. The unit also features a robust enclosure and is available with or without LCD display.

BAPI-Stat 2 Enclosure
The BAPI-Stat 2 is a smaller version of the original BAPI-Stat. It is similar in size to the Delta Style Enclosure but with a larger LCD display and increased functionality. The BAPI-Stat 2 has all the features of the RµP Family rolled into one enclosure.

Pushbutton Override with LED
BAPI's Low Profile Pushbutton in now available with a Red or Green LED Indicator to provide a visual indication that the contoller has switched to the override status. No more pressing the button over and over again, wondering if the controller has received the override request. The Low Profile Pushbutton is water-resistant for washdown/wipedown applications.

Wall Plates with Rotary Setpoint Adjustment
The Rotary Setpoint is a linear adjustment that comes in various ranges, and is available as reverse or direct acting. A Setpoint Legend can be imprinted on the face of the Wall Plate. Standard Legends are “50 to 90 °F” or “+ to -”. The Rotary Setpoint Adjustment is available with all the Override Pushbuttons, a phono-style Communications Jack and a Pressure Pickup Port.

Outside Air Pressure Pickup Port
This port is an easy, economical and attractive way of measuring outdoor static pressure. The pickup port also helps stabilize pressure readings because it significantly reduces the pressure fluctuations caused by wind gusts. Available in wall mount or rooftop mount.
