FUME HOOD CONTROLLER (FHC)The FHC is designed to control face velocity on variable volume fume hoods

with audible and visual indicating alarms. The Fume Hood Controller can

ensure a safe working environment by constantly monitoring and adjusting the

exhaust to maintain a correct face velocity. The controller supports multiple

air control devices including Venturi valves, LDV exhaust valves and Variable

frequency drives.

The controller comes standard with the both sidewall and sash position

sensor inputs and both can be used together.

The FHC is valve mounted and includes an analog input for monitoring the

static pressure across the valve, alarming if minimum static pressures are met

and can be used during test and balance to set up the system.

The FHC integrates with the Price Laboratory space controller when airflow control calls for maintaining a volumetric offset

between supply, general exhaust and fume hood exhaust flows.

The FHC comes standard as a BTL – certified native BACnet device for simple integration with building management systems.

LABORATORY SPACE CONTROLLER (LSC)The LSC is designed for laboratory applications that require airflow and

temperature control using a dedicated system that ties into the fume hoods

within the space. The digital controller maintains a constant volumetric offset

between the supply, general exhaust and fume hood air valves in the VAV system

to ensure accurate control of directional airflow. Fume hood controllers are daisy

chain wired to the controller and the local network uses Price M-Net for a less

than 1 second speed of response between the controllers.

The LSC can tie in a room pressure sensor to monitor the pressure in the space

with a local visual and audible alarm option available.

Room temperature and humidity are measured using a Price thermostat mounted

in the occupied space. Simple connection to thermostat is provided with plug and play RJ45 cables. Outputs for the LSC for

reheat and humidity include binary (24VAC), staged, and analog (0-10VDC).

With Native BACnet MS/TP communication, the LSC can tie into building management systems (BMS). When connected to

the network both the space and attached fume hood variables are available for monitoring and control.

Commissioning software allows quick and thorough setup of the LSC system with the ability to generate a printable test

report.
