Bulletin P-AVLV-M

The 

Series AVLV Low Air Velocity Transmitter

 quickly and accurately measures air 

velocity or volumetric flow in imperial or metric units. Simultaneous current and voltage 

outputs  on  all  models  provide  universal  inputs  to  monitoring  equipment  while  the 

output range, units, and 0-5/10 VDC output can be configured via local DIP switches. 

The optional integral display, or the portable remote display tool, provide a convenient 

way to locally monitor process values and configure the unit.

Models  are  available  in  1%  and  2%  accuracy  models  and  low  velocity  ranges  to 

suit  a  variety  of  needs,  and  the  optional  BACnet  MS/TP  or  Modbus

®

  RTU/ASCII 

communication protocol allows units to be daisy-chained while providing access to all 

of the velocity and flow data, as well as additional information such as air temperature. 

The lower ranges in these high accuracy units allow for applications in quality intensive 

environments, such as the pharmaceutical industry.
