Operating mode default setting

  • Three levels for setting operating mode defaults (central BMS, room, fume cupboard)
  • Configuration options for prioritisation and shut-off
  • Operating mode default setting can affect all controllers in a room or a single controller, e.g. 24-hour operation

Diversity control

  • In many large laboratories the simultaneous operation of all controllers at maximum power is either not desirable or not possible because of the limited capacity of the system

Monitoring of the total extract air flow rate

  • The total extract air flow rate is monitored
  • An optical alarm is emitted on the room control panel
  • Alarms are consolidated for signalling

Limiting the total extract air flow rate

  • The total extract air flow rate is monitored

  • Reducing the volume flow rate for only selected fume cupboards ensures that as many fume cupboards as possible can be safely used at the same time
  • Optical and acoustic alarms are emitted on the fume cupboard for which the volume flow rate has been reduced
  • An optical alarm is emitted on the room control panel
