Precision Air Velocity MonitoringDesigned for diverse industrial and commercial applications, this air velocity transmitter guarantees accurate, real-time measurements of airflow. Thanks to its hot wire anemometry sensor and fast response time (<1 second), it excels in dynamic environments such as HVAC ducts, ventilation systems, and cleanrooms. The selectable analog output ensures compatibility with most building management and automation systems.
User-Centric Design and InstallationThis transmitter allows for easy duct or wall mounting, supported by a robust IP65 ABS enclosure and stainless steel sensor probe. The 1.5-meter standard cable, extendable as needed, offers installation flexibility. Its digital LCD display provides clear visibility, while the selectable high/low velocity alarm enhances operational safety. Lightweight at approximately 120 grams, it suits both retrofit and new installations.
FAQ's of Air Velocity Transmitter:
Q: How does the air velocity transmitter measure airflow?
A: The transmitter uses a thermal anemometer (hot wire) sensor with a constant temperature anemometry principle, which detects changes in heat dissipation caused by air movement. This enables highly accurate, rapid measurements of air velocity.
Q: What is the process for configuring the output signal and alarm settings on this transmitter?
A: You can select between a 0-10V or 4-20mA analog output using onboard jumpers or DIP switches. Alarm thresholds for high and low air velocity can be set digitally, allowing tailored alerts for varying application requirements.
Q: When should the air velocity transmitter's cable be extended?
A: The standard cable length is 1.5 meters, but if your installation location is farther from your control panel or data acquisition system, the cable can be extended to ensure reliable connectivity.
Q: Where can this device be mounted for optimal performance?
A: The transmitter is designed for flexible placement and can be mounted either on ductwork or a wall. For best results, install it in an area where airflow is representative of the monitored system, such as at main duct runs or near sensitive ventilation zones.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this air velocity transmitter?
A: Key benefits include fast and accurate airflow monitoring, configurable outputs for system integration, advanced alarm functionality, and resilient design with IP65 protection. This improves HVAC efficiency, environmental control, and system safety.
Q: How does the display assist in daily usage and monitoring?
A: The digital LCD provides immediate, clear readouts of current velocity, making on-site verification and adjustment straightforward without extra equipment.
