Operating Principle
When the fume extraction fan is running, it causes negative pressure inside
the fume cupboard. If the sash is lowered, the negative pressure become more
intense causing air to be drawn through the sash opening at an increased velocity.
Conversely, if the sash is raised the negative pressure becomes less intense and air
velocity reduces.
If an opening is made in the wall of the fume cupboard, air will enter it at a
velocity determined by the same negative pressure that is drawing air into the
sash opening. By sensing the air velocity through an opening, we can determine
its level at the sash opening.
PLASTEC
or thermal anemometer into a hole in the cupboard and sending the air velocity
measurement obtained to a display on the fascia panel. Based on air velocity
measured, Plastec
or decrease fan speed.
The air velocity level is displayed on the fascia either by LED illumination or
digital read-out. An audible alarm will also sound if the air velocity is too low.

Installation, Calibration & Alarm Test
INSTALLATION
1) Drill a Ø 23mm / 0.91" hole either in the top or side of the fume cupboard to allow sensor
positioning. Make sure sensor is not in a turbulent zone where the pressure can fluctuate but
where it can monitor stable changes in pressure. Attention should be paid to dead zones near
the top of the fume cupboard.
2) Proceed with wiring as seen on page “Contacts & Features”.
3) Position and secure monitor to service panel of the fume cupboard with the two self-tapping
screws supplied. Do not forget to position “O” ring seal into the moulded groove in the back of
the face plate.
CONTROLLER SET UP PROCEDURE
All monitors unless indicated otherwise are factory pre-calibrated at 0.5 m/s or 100 FPM. If you need a
different sensor calibration and/or displayed speed reading:
1) Make sure that controller is properly linked to inverter and that the ventilation is working. You
need an anemometer to do this set up.
2) Push
or
LED is on and the red LED is flashing indicating controller is in manual set up mode.
3) Raise the fume cupboard to its test height e.g. 500mm/19.69".
4) Push
is reading required air speed. Every button press increases or decreases the speed of 0.5V
producing one beep.
The maximum value is 10V, the minimum is 0.3V.
For model without digital display (819703), please go directly to step 6.
5) For digital display model (819704), press “Reset” button at the back of the controller to change
the required speed display from 0.3 m/s/59 FPM to 0.7 m/s /138 FPM, using
value will be memorized as the set point.
6) Wait for 15 seconds or so for air speed to stabilize.
7) To return to “AUTO” mode, push
the green LED is illuminated: new calibration (above or equal at 0.2 m/s) is accepted.

VELOCITY TYPE
To change Digital readout from/to m/s to FPM:
Press simultaneously the following buttons:
until buzzer sounds (about 5 seconds).
DISPLAY MESSAGES
The display will show “HI” for an airflow superior to 1 m/s / 96 FPM and “LO” for an airflow inferior to
0.20 m/s / 40 FPM.
In case of faulty, improper or absent sensor, the display will show “PB”.

Press “Reset” (at the back of the controller) for 15 seconds. Buzzer sounds 5 times.
When using this feature, you restore factory default settings: set point and display at 0.5 m/s / 100

This operation should be imperatively done in “Auto” mode.
TEST MODE
Test mode is to confirm that all functions are operational. To access test mode, follow this procedure:
1) Press simultaneously following buttons:
* Buzzer sounds twice
2) Press the 3 buttons alternately.
* Buzzer sounds 10 times if malfunction
In case of faulty sensor, the display will show “PB”.
* Buzzer sounds 3 times indicating normal operating mode

MAINTENANCE
Front plate and stickers of airflow monitor may be cleaned with mild soap and water on a damp
cloth to remove finger marks, oils and residue. Do not use abrasives. Do not allow liquids to enter
the plastic casing. Dry the monitor thoroughly after cleaning.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CHECK
No indicators Power supply may not be plugged into AC supply.
Improper alarm setpoint Airflow sensor is factory precalibrated at 0.5 m/s or 100 FPM.
Alarm setpoint may not be accurate if sensor is not properly
located. Sensor needs to be recalibrated if setpoint is different than
0.5 m/s or 100 FPM. Follow Sensor Recalibration Procedure on
page 6.
Alarm is too sensitive, Change alarm delay setting to 15s or 30s if already set to 0. See
