4. Setup u Installazzjoni
Proper installation is crucial for accurate measurements and long-term reliability. Follow these steps carefully:
4.1. Post tal-Immuntar
- Select a location in the duct where airflow is laminar and representative of the overall flow. Avoid areas immediately after bends, dampers, or fans.
- Ensure sufficient space for probe insertion and maintenance.
4.2. Duct Mounting
- Drill a hole in the duct appropriate for the probe diameter.
- Insert the stainless steel probe into the duct.
- Adjust the collar to achieve the desired insertion depth (50–180mm) and secure it firmly to the duct using appropriate fasteners (not supplied).
- Ensure the probe is oriented correctly within the airflow for optimal measurement.
4.3. Wiring Elettriku
Before wiring, ensure all power is disconnected. Refer to the internal wiring diagram on the device for specific terminal assignments.
- Provvista tal-Enerġija: Connect the appropriate power supply (e.g., 24 Vac/dc) to the designated power terminals.
- Outputs Analoġiċi: Connect the 0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA output signals for temperature (TOUT) and velocity (VOUT) to your Building Management System (BMS) or data acquisition system.
- Relay Output (Optional): If equipped, connect the potential-free SPDT relay terminals (NC, COM, NO) to your control system. The relay supports up to 250 Vac or 30 Vdc, 6A.
4.4. Jumper Settings (Field-Selectable Ranges)
The AVDTXX features jumper-selectable ranges for velocity. Consult the internal labeling or the device's specific documentation for the correct jumper positions to select your desired velocity range (e.g., 0-2, 10, 20 m/s or 0-400, 2000, 4000 fpm). Ensure power is off before adjusting jumpers.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Once installed and powered, the AVDTXX will begin measuring air velocity and temperature. The device is designed for continuous operation.
5.1. Ħruġ tad-Data
- Temperature Output (TOUT): Provides a linear 0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA signal corresponding to the measured temperature (0–50°C / 32–122°F).
- Velocity Output (VOUT): Provides a linear 0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA signal corresponding to the measured air velocity, based on the selected range.
5.2. Relay Function (Optional)
If the optional relay is installed, it can be configured to switch based on a user-defined setpoint and hysteresis for either velocity or temperature. This allows for direct control of external devices (e.g., fans, alarms) based on measured conditions.
5.3. Display (if applicable)
Some models may feature an alternating display showing both velocity and temperature readings. Refer to your specific model's features for display functionality.
6. Manutenzjoni
The AVDTXX transmitter is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can ensure continued accuracy and performance.
- Tindif: Periodically inspect the probe for dust or debris accumulation. Gently clean the probe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Kalibrazzjoni: The device is factory calibrated. If recalibration is required, it should be performed by qualified personnel in a controlled environment. The device features rapid calibration at 22°C with a 10-minute stabilization period.
- Konnessjonijiet: Kun żgur li l-konnessjonijiet elettriċi kollha jibqgħu sikuri u ħielsa mill-korrużjoni.
