Adapter module for the EASYLAB system as an interface between fume cupboard control and room control

Control electronics using a microprocessor, with configuration settings stored in EEPROM memory and hence safe in case of a power failure.

Connections for all important communication and peripheral devices are located on the outside of the casing and hence easily accessible. Indicator lights on the outside of the casing for alarms (on both sides), controller function (heartbeat), and communication.

Communication system with plug-in communication lines, automatic connection setup without manual network configuration, easy to expand with additional controllers (usually without integration issues).

Integration of variable or constant volume flow rates in the room balance using analog signals, switch contacts or constant values. Signalling of volume flow rate consolidated signals, faults, and status messages to central BMS with analog or switch outputs.

5 analog inputs for the integration of variable volume flows.

6 volt-free digital inputs for the integration of constant flows and/or the control of special functions.

Analog output for signalling the total volume flow rate of the room (supply air or extract air)

Digital output for an alarm; alarm conditions can be configured.
