Design
VAV controller casing is made from galvanized sheet steel. The damper blades are from extruded aluminium profile. 
The insulated version (OPTIMA-SI) has the casing wrapped in closed cell insulating foam mat, 19 mm thick. The 
insulation is protected by galvanized steel sheet. Special design of multi-point averaging cross flow sensor from 
aluminium assures an accurate air flow readings. The measurement impulse tubes from polyurethane connect the 
measurement probe with the measurement sensor. The compact control/actuator unit consists of: measurement 
sensor, transmitter, controller and the damper actuator.

Controls
The VAV controllers are equipped by OEM compact control/actuator units from Siemens. Versions without any BUS 
compact control/actuator units are factory calibrated as standard to the air volume control range V
min
 ... V
max
. The 
dimension table shows this standard setting. Upon request the control range V
min
 ... V
max
 can be adjusted to 
customized settings prior to dispatch. The air volumes can also be re-adjusted on site with AST-20 hand held service 
tool. If specific air values for V
min
 and V
max
 would be required, this must be indicated prior to order of the units for 
adequate calibration in the factory.
