Product Overview Pressing the Emergency Purge button a second time reverts the Fume Hood Controller to normal operation for the current conditions. HI/LO: HI/OFF Select button – Pressing this button changes the controller from a high flow setpoint to a low flow setpoint and back again or changes the controller from a high flow setpoint to and OFF state and back again. Auxiliary Button – The Auxiliary buttons are not used currently. For more information on the ODP, see the Fume Hood Contro

Product Overview High Speed Electronic Actuation The High speed electronic actuator assembly consists of two parts, the electronic actuator and the interface board. The actuator is connected to the exhaust flow control device in the fume hood exhaust duct. The electronic actuator assembly is used because of its small size and quick response time. CAUTION: Due to the design parameters and the response time required by the Fume Hood Controller, the assembly must be replaced with the sam

Fume Hood Controller Owner's Manual Low Speed Electronic Actuation Alternately, when speed of response is not an issue, slower speed electronic actuation may be used. This can be used when the change-of-state between High and Low can take place in 15 seconds or more. Low Speed Actuator (GMA13x). Pneumatic Actuation The pneumatic actuator is connected to an exhaust flow control device in the fume hood exhaust duct. The standard pneumatic actuator (Figure 8) used with the Fume Hood Con

Analog Output-Pneumatic (AO-P) Module The Analog Output-Pneumatic (AO-P) Module is an electric-to-pneumatic interface between the Fume Hood Controller and the pneumatic actuator. The AO-P Module translates electrical signals from the Fume Hood Controller into pneumatic signals that command the actuator. The AO-P Module consists of two industrial grade solenoids that supply or bleed air

Fume Hood Controller Owner's Manual NOTE: While the pneumatic actuator is being commanded, you may hear a hissing or clicking sound coming from the AO-P module. This is due to the movement of the air valves and the bleeding of air from the actuator. This is normal operation. Differential Pressure Transmitter The differential pressure transmitter is used to send a signal that represents the velocity of air in the duct to the controller. The differential pressure transmitter receives the ve

2 Applications Fume Hood Controller: 2-Position Constant Volume Application 940 is designed for use with a constant volume or two-position fume hood in a manifold fume hood exhaust system. In this application, two position fume hoods have an individual exhaust damper or venturi air valve connected to a central fan. The application modulates the exhaust flow control device to maintain a high or low flow setpoint based on inputs from the ODP (Operators Display Panel), Digital Input, a

Fume Hood Controller Owner's Manual Basic Operation The Fume Hood Controller provides Direct Digital Control (DDC) technology for controlling fume hood face velocities in a manifolded fume hood exhaust system. High and Low Exhaust Flow Control The Fume Hood Controller can operate at two different setpoints, described as HI flow and LOW flow setpoints. The low setpoint can be set to zero to send the controller into an OFF mode. The OFF mode shuts off the flow alarms and closes the exhaust
