Product Overview
Cava™ is an exceptionally versatile fume hood controller that precisely
monitors and controls fume hood face velocity. Designed specifically
to meet the needs of all fume hood types, Cava™ provides assurance
that required fume hood face velocity is satisfied and the work
environment is safe, while eliminating unnecessary energy usage.
Cava™ delivers effective control using Venturi Valves, Venturi FX
Valves, or terminal units on fume hoods and biosafety cabinets.
Cava™ is intended for continuous, 24-hour fume hood face velocity
control and monitoring, and will automatically resume upon restart
after losing power.
Cava™ displays critical fume hood details through its interface, where
users can effortlessly view real-time information and update a variety
of display parameters. Fume hood status is clearly indicated through a
colored display with an excellent viewing angle, along with
programmable audible alarms ensuring the safety of all users through
immediate notification of changes in fume hood status. Cava™ has
two physical buttons, including one that allows users to quickly enter
emergency mode without having to remove any protective wear.
