Standards and guidelines

  • Directive 2014/34/EU: Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres

Maintenance

  • Maintenance-free as construction and materials are not subject to wear
  • Zero point correction of the static differential pressure transducer should be carried out once per year (recommendation, with electronic control)

Commissioning

  • The controller parameters are factory set
  • Adjustments may be required as part of commissioning (by others)

Function

The VAV terminal unit is fitted with a differential pressure sensor for measuring the volume flow rate.

The control components (attachments) include a differential pressure transducer that transforms the differential pressure (effective pressure) into an electric signal, a controller, and an actuator.

For most applications, the setpoint value comes from a room temperature controller which is installed outside of the potentially explosive atmosphere.

The controller compares the actual value with the setpoint value and alters the control signal of the damper actuator if there is a difference between the two values.

The connections for the supply voltage and for the voltage signals are made in a terminal box that is suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
