Description
The APOGEE
®
Automation System Laboratory Room
Controllers and Room Pressurization Controllers are
available on a new hardware platform. The Lab
Controller Module (LCM) uses the Off-board Air
Module (OAM) to measure airflow for standard and
custom pressurized room control applications.
Lab Controller Module
The LCM (Figure 1) operates as an independent,
stand-alone DDC controller and can be connected on
the Floor Level Network (FLN) with the APOGEE
®
Automation System. The LCM includes the largest
physical point count of any APOGEE FLN device. Not
all physical points are used in all applications.
Off-board Air Module
The OAM (Figure 2) contains the air velocity sensor
(a specialized differential pressure transducer), V/F
conversion circuitry and solenoid for auto-zero
function. Advanced digital signal processing produces
a highly accurate reading of even the noisiest flow
signals.
The auto-zero solenoid connects to the air velocity
pressure transducer's inlet ports to enable automatic
periodic re-calibration. This re-calibration ensures
accurate, drift-free airflow measurement. Automatic
re-calibration of the differential pressure transducers
occurs upon system power-up and when airflows are
stable with frequency selectable from 1 to 6 times a
day.
