Overview
The TSI fume hood controller and monitor FHC50 is a primary source of protection and control in laboratories and healthcare facilities. Face velocity measurements are often used to gauge the performance of a fume hood’s ability to contain and exhaust hazardous chemicals. By utilising accurate measurement and control of the face velocity the FHC50 offers a complete control and monitoring solution to maintain a high level of fume hood safety. The FHC50 helps users comply with standards and regulations such as OSHA, which calls for monitors to be installed on fume hoods.
Available in four different configurations with either TSI's sidewall velocity sensor or with a flow input capability which uses a signal from an existing flow measuring device.
Features
- Controls fume hood face velocity to provide containment and safety
- Reduces laboratory air flow usage, optimizing energy savings
- Assists in managing risk by communicating fume hood status information to Building Management System (BMS)
- Visual, audible and remote alarms to warn users of unsafe conditions
- Seamless integration to BMS via BACnet®, LonWorks®, or Modbus
- Easy installation and wiring
- Fast-acting actuator provides containment during sash movements
- Easy configuration using keypad or configuration software
- Large display provides detailed fume hood information
- Surface or flush mount options available
