Fume Hood Controller
Constant Volume, 2-state (CV2)
Figure 1. Fume Hood Controller (SMT board), Enclosure and
Operator Display Panel
The 2-state Constant Volume Fume Hood Controller
is an integral part of the APOGEE® Automation
System. The controller is a proven, stand-alone
Direct Digital Control (DDC) system for laboratory
fume hoods with two discrete air flow rate set points.
The controller maintains one of two selectable and
adjustable constant volume flow rates. An Operator
Display Panel provides the fume hood user with the
operating status of the hood, alarm horn, an
emergency purge function and even optional air flow
rate. The high or low flow setpoint is selected using a
dry contact closure and/or by toggling a push-button
on the Operator Display Panel. The fume hood
controller can use either high-speed or low-speed
electronic or pneumatic actuation with either damper
or Venturi Air Valve flow control devices.
