Bulletin P-AVUL-M

The 

Series AVUL

 

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 3% and 5% accuracy models 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.
