Maintain comfort and proper ventilation

Monnit’s Enterprise Air Velocity/Speed Wireless Sensor helps facility managers and maintenance techs gauge and track HVAC performance by measuring system airflow and building/room pressure.

If air velocity (speed) deviates from user-set limits, an alert is issued instantly via text, email, or call. Early notifications allow HVAC contractors or maintenance techs to prevent failure (or predict and shorten downtime). Collected data also enables facility maintenance professionals to maintain comfort and proper ventilation, as well as track air volume filter status.

This air velocity/speed sensor measures the pressure difference between its two ports, accounts for ambient temperature and altitude, and determines system airflow speed in meters per second (m/s). The sensor is calibrated, temperature compensated, and has a -50 m/s to +50 m/s measurement range.

Run at full speed

The Wireless Air Velocity Sensor measures the pressure difference between two input ports, the temperature, and altitude determines the speed at which the air is moving in a system and transmits the measurement to iMonnit. When viewing the sensor from the top, the right inlet port is the positive or high side pressure input. When the pressure on this port is greater than the left port the sensor produces a negative pressure reading. When the pressure is greater on the left port the sensor produces a positive pressure reading. Combined with the temperature and the altitude, the sensor determines at what rate the air is flowing in a system.

This sensor comes with an industrial battery included with the life of up to 7 years.

All industrial sensors are enclosed in a reliable, weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosure that are constructed for both indoor and outdoor use. These rugged enclosures protect the sensor circuitry against;

• Falling dirt
• Wind-blown dust
• Rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water
• Ice formation on the enclosure
• Increased resistance to corrosion

Features

• Impressive wireless range of up to 1,200 feet through walls
• Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
• Improved interference immunity
• Improved power management for longer battery life
• Encrypt-RF® Security (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange + AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages)
• Over-the-air updates
• Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to configure sensors, view data and set alerts via SMS text and email
• Stores 2000 to 4000 readings if gateway connection is lost (non-volatile flash, persists through the power cycle)
  • 10-minute heartbeats = ~ 22 days
  • 2-hour heartbeats = ~ 266 days

Applications

• Hospitals
• Duct Pressure
• Building/room Pressure
• Variable air volume filter status
• Air flow
• Computer rooms
