Function
The VAV terminal unit is fitted with an effective pressure sensor for measuring the volume flow rate.
The control components (attachments) include an effective pressure transducer that transforms the effective pressure into an electric signal, a controller and an actuator as individual components (Universal or LABCONTROL).
For most applications, the setpoint value comes from an external setpoint adjuster.
The controller compares the actual value with the setpoint value and alters the control signal of the actuator if there is a difference between the two values.

Specification text
Circular VAV terminal units made of PPs plastic, for variable and constant air volume systems, suitable for extract air, available in 6 nominal sizes.
High control accuracy (even with upstream bend R = 1D).
Ready-to-commission unit which consists of the mechanical parts and the electronic control components Each unit contains an averaging effective pressure sensor for volume flow rate measurement, and a damper blade. Factory mounted control components complete with wiring and tubing
Effective pressure sensor with 3 mm measuring holes, hence resistant to contamination.
Position of the damper blade indicated externally at shaft extension. The damper blade is factory set to open position, which allows a ventilation airflow even without control; this does not apply to variants with defined safe position NC (normally closed).
Closed blade air leakage to EN 1751, class 3.
Casing air leakage to EN 1751, class C.
Meets the hygiene requirements of EN 16798, Part 3, of VDI 6022, Sheet 1, and of DIN 1946, Part 4.
