Product Description
DPT-Flow is a flow transmitter that provides a new and easy way to measure the flow rate on centrifugal fans.
One device is suitable for a range of different fan types. It also provides an easy way to measure flow rate in a duct system. The device is supplied with an optional FloXactTM averaging measurement probe.
Usage :
The DPT-Flow is designed for air handling units to measure the air flow on centrifugal fans. The DPT-Flow can be used as an on-site display for flow or as a transmitter to regulate the air flow on a selected fan or blower.
The DPT-Flow can also be used in the duct system or in air handling units as an on-site display for flow or as a transmitter to regulate the air flow in a duct. The device can be used with several different measurement probes such as FloXactTM or pitot tube, and air dampers. The requirement is that the K-value of the measurement probe or damper is known.
Robust Weatherproof DesignEngineered with an IP65-rated enclosure, this transmitter withstands challenging weather and dust, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Its sturdy plastic housing (grey/white) protects sensitive components and ensures reliable operation in diverse environments.
Precision Measurement and Easy CalibrationOffering an impressive accuracy of 1% and a resolution of 0.01 m/s, the DPT-Flow ensures dependable readings in a measurement range of 0-50 m/s. Both automatic and manual zero calibration are available, guaranteeing consistent, high-quality results in all settings.
User-Friendly Display and IntegrationThe blue LED backlit LCD display provides clear, real-time airflow data. Versatile analog outputs (4-20 mA/0-10 V) and simple screw terminal connections inside the enclosure ease integration into existing systems. It's RoHS and CE certified for assured quality and compliance.
FAQ's of Air Flow And Velocity Transmitter:
Q: How do I install the Air Flow and Velocity Transmitter in my HVAC duct?
A: The transmitter can be mounted on either a wall or duct flange using the standard cutout size provided. Electrical connections are made via screw terminals located inside the IP65 enclosure, and a cable gland ensures secure wiring. Process connection is achieved with the 6mm hose nipple.
Q: What types of media can this transmitter measure?
A: This device is designed to measure airflow and velocity in air and clean gases, making it suitable for ventilation, air conditioning, and other HVAC applications where contaminant-free air monitoring is required.
Q: When should I perform zero calibration on the device?
A: Zero adjustment can be done automatically by the unit or manually when needed, such as during routine maintenance or if drift in readings is detected. Regular calibration ensures optimal accuracy in all conditions.
Q: Where can the transmitter be used given its weatherproof rating?
A: Thanks to its IP65 weatherproof body, the device can operate reliably both indoors and outdoors, in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and environments exposed to dust or moisture.
Q: What is the process for connecting and initializing the device?
A: To connect the unit, open the enclosure and use the internal screw terminals for wiring. Power the device with 24 VAC/VDC (10%). After wiring, secure the cables through the gland, mount using the flange or wall bracket, and select desired analog output (4-20mA or 0-10V).
Q: How does the integrated blue LED backlit LCD display benefit users?
A: The blue LED backlit LCD provides excellent visibility in varying light conditions, making it easy for users to view and interpret live airflow and velocity readings at a glance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this transmitter in large duct applications?
A: With its high measurement range (0-9999 m3/h), superior accuracy, and robust build, this transmitter delivers reliable performance in large HVAC ducts, helping maintain system efficiency, monitor air distribution, and support energy savings.
