Phoenix Controls, a Honeywell International business, today 
      announced the introduction of the Advanced Pressure Monitor II (APM2), a 
      device that monitors very low differential pressure between rooms. The 
      APM2 verifies directional airflow, and is used in critical ventilation 
      applications such as vivarium research, chemotherapy preparations, 
      hospital procedure rooms, and biocontainment facilities. The product is 
      available today.
    
“Pressure monitoring is a core part of our business because it verifies 
      that our valves are properly pressurizing the space”
    
      Conceived with input from a wide range of users, the APM2 is designed to 
      meet the broad needs of laboratory, life sciences and healthcare 
      markets. For the architect, the device has a faceplate and touch-screen 
      that is attractive for use in the public spaces of modern facilities. 
      For the design engineer, the product performs functions that can meet 
      the specifications of virtually any room application. For the contractor 
      and installer, the unit is designed for easy rough-in, simple 
      installation and rapid commissioning. And for the end-user, the APM2 
      should provide years of continuous and reliable operation.
    
    
      “Pressure monitoring is a core part of our business because it verifies 
      that our valves are properly pressurizing the space,” said Vincent 
      Schultz, general manager of Phoenix Controls. “The APM2 is also an 
      exciting visual product in the finished space, and this helps put 
      Phoenix Controls in front of new customers and brings us into new 
      markets.”
    
    
      The APM2 blends two key functions together in a single unit; room 
      pressure monitoring and a bright touch-screen local display. The product 
      is a highly accurate pressure monitor, using true differential pressure 
      transducer technology. This means the APM2 can meet the most stringent 
      applications that require measurement of room pressure to 0.0001" WC 
      resolution, and with an accuracy of ±0.25% of full scale.
