TEL has upgraded two of its environmentally sustainable airflow control products to further enhance user experience and operational precision.
TEL has upgraded two of its environmentally sustainable airflow control products to further enhance user experience and operational precision.
The AFA 5000 Room Space Controller boasts improved screen resolution, air control, flexibility and ease of use. The screen features simple RJ45 connection – the plug-in cable facilitating a distance of up to 100m between the screen and the main I/O control board for greater flexibility.
A new surface mount enclosure enables easier wall mounting. The unit facilitates greater data input and output, increasing the number of devices to which it may be connected and extending the degree of control that the user has over the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.
An added USB port for firmware and parameter-setting enables software to be updated quickly and easily. The AFA 5000 ensures that the air within a laboratory is maintained at optimum quantity and quality for the safety and comfort of users and the function of the facility. By precluding the need for a building management system (BMS), it enables users to control the air precisely, energy-efficiently and reliably.
TEL has also upgraded its AFA 4000 integrated VAV (variable airflow volume) Controller and Auto Sash Controller, which now features a high-resolution screen and simple snap-fitting. The new screen has also been incorporated into TEL’s AFA4000/1 and AFA4000/2 airflow monitoring systems.
The integrated unit automatically adjusts airflow according to need, decreasing the volume of air extracted when laboratory fume cupboards are not in use to minimise energy consumption. It is simpler to install and calibrate than separate VAV and auto sash controllers.
TEL director, Richard Eady, said: “Both the AFA 5000 and 4000 have achieved worldwide popularity among fume cupboard manufacturers, contractors and laboratory managers who want to facilitate safe, energy-efficient laboratory airflow control. We are confident that the upgraded units will quickly prove their worth in this market, where sustainability-conscious users expect continually improving levels of performance and user experience.” For further details, please the TEL website.
