DCVCX-R

 

INTELLIGENT AIR QUALITY 
DUCT  SENSOR

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DCVCX-R are intelligent duct sensors featuring adjustable temperature, relative 
humidity and TVOC ranges. The used algorithm controls a single analogue/modulating 
output based on the measured temperature, relative humidity and air quality values, 
which can be used to directly control an EC fan, an AC fan speed controller or an 
actuator powered damper. All parameters are accessible via Modbus RTU.
