Dwyer AVFS - Manual

Series AVFS Air Flow Switch
Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
AV-AVFS
The new Series AVFS Adjustable Air Flow Switch complements the Dwyer
Instruments line of thermo-anemometer transmitters and handheld instruments.
The AVFS is specifically designed to monitor air flow in ducts and provides a 3A
contact output to indicate a change or loss of flow. Simply turn on the fan or air
handling unit and adjust the set-point via the potentiometer to show normal status.
Then alter a damper or decrease fan speed to activate the AVFS. The AVFS will
signal a loss of flow and the N.O. SPST output will indicate the detected decrease.
For ease of installation and system trouble-shooting, the Series AVFS possesses
a red/green LED indication to provide local status if the air flow is above (green) or
below (red) the set-point. The AVFS provides a +/-5% set-point repeatability across
a full scale range of 1-10 m/s (197-1969 fpm) and includes a mounting bracket for
quick duct mounting. The AVFS Series Adjustable Air Flow Switches come in a
compact, rugged PBT enclosure that is rated NEMA 4X (IP65), making them ideal
for any ventilation system installation or similar BAS application.
Mounting
Mount the airflow monitor by means of the mounting clamp provided. Diameter of
the mounting hole for the unit: .9 in (24 mm) mm. If mounting is to be airtight, use
the gasket provided. The sensing head must be completely immersed into the
airflow and should be in the range of the highest flow velocity, if possible.
Installation depth: min. 1.25 in (32 mm), max. 4.7 in (120 mm).
