Abatement Technologies PPM3-S Portable Differential Pressure Monitor (Manometer)

If you can't prove negative pressure, you can't prove compliance. The PPM3-S makes both effortless.

The Abatement Technologies PPM3-S Portable Differential Pressure Monitor is the standard tool for verifying real-time pressure differentials between adjacent spaces — the measurement that separates a documented, defensible containment zone from one that's just assumed to be working.

Built for healthcare construction contractors, infection control professionals, and abatement & remediation crews who need precision, durability, and a paper trail. This isn't a gauge. It's your compliance record.

Built for Two High-Stakes Environments

• Healthcare Construction & ICRA Compliance — Verify negative pressure containment during facility renovation and maintenance in occupied buildings. Meet Joint Commission-enforced CDC and ASHRAE requirements.
• Abatement & Remediation — Confirm and document that your containment zone is holding pressure throughout the job, from setup to teardown.

ICRA 2.0 Compliant Pressure Monitoring

The updated Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) 2.0 guidelines — the current standard enforced by The Joint Commission for healthcare construction and renovation — require documented, continuous verification of negative pressure differentials in containment zones. The PPM3-S is purpose-built to satisfy that requirement:

• Real-time differential pressure display confirms your air scrubber is maintaining the required negative pressure environment
• Continuous data logging creates the timestamped pressure record that ICRA 2.0 documentation requires
• Audio and visual alarms provide immediate notification of any pressure breach before it becomes a compliance failure
• CSV export delivers a clean, inspector-ready pressure history you can attach to your ICRA project documentation package

If you're working in an occupied healthcare facility under ICRA 2.0 requirements, this monitor isn't optional equipment — it's the documentation that proves your containment worked.

Why the PPM3-S Is the Tool Pros Trust

🟡 Indestructible Case. Readable Anywhere.

The ultra-tough molded polymer case is built to take a beating on active job sites — dropped, stacked, stuffed in a bag. The clear polycarbonate view window lets you read the display without opening the case, keeping internal components protected from dust, debris, and contaminants while you work.

📊 Color Touchscreen. No Guesswork. No Training Required.

The intuitive color touchscreen displays real-time differential pressure readings the moment you turn it on. No calibration. No manual adjustments. No fumbling with knobs while your crew is waiting. Anyone on the job can read it and understand what it's telling them.

🔔 Visual & Audio Alarms — So You Know the Second Something Shifts

Built-in visual and audio alarms alert you immediately when pressure deviates outside acceptable range. In occupied healthcare facilities where a pressure breach can mean an infection control failure, that real-time notification isn't a nice-to-have — it's the whole point.

🔋 Up to 6 Months Battery Life in Monitoring Mode

Deploy it and leave it. The PPM3-S runs for up to 6 months on battery power, making it practical for extended construction projects, ongoing renovation phases, or any situation where you need continuous monitoring without daily battery management.

💾 Logged History. CSV Export. Proof You Can Hand to Anyone.

The PPM3-S automatically logs interval pressure readings, alarm events, and setting changes to an onboard history archive. Download everything to a USB flash drive in CSV format — open it in Excel, share it with the infection control officer, submit it with your project closeout documentation. The data is yours, in a format anyone can read.

🔧 On-Site Firmware Updates via USB

The USB port isn't just for data export — it also allows on-site firmware upgrades without sending the unit back to the manufacturer. Your equipment stays current without downtime.

📐 Pressure Range: −0.10 inWC to +0.10 inWC (−25 Pa to +25 Pa)

Covers the full range required for healthcare construction and abatement containment environments. Measures both negative and positive pressure differentials with the precision these applications demand.

Technical Specifications

The PPM3-S in Your ICRA Compliance Workflow

Abatement Technologies engineered the PPM3-S as the pressure monitoring component of their full ICRA Compliance system — designed to work alongside the PREDATOR® and HEPA-AIRE® portable air scrubbers that create and maintain the negative pressure environment this device verifies. If you're running a PRED750 or PAS750 for containment, the PPM3-S is the tool that confirms — and documents — that it's working.
