AFA 500 MK2

The AFA500/MK2 model is an entry level fully flush airflow monitor that is designed for applications where airflow velocity indication is not required. The AFA500 is available with either a built in or remote airflow sensor and is suitable for Industrial Fume Cupboards, Schools type Fume Cupboards, Canopy Hoods, BSC’s and LEV’s and Includes the following features:-

  • 2 methods of pushbutton calibration that allows the installer to either ‘capture’ the low airflow alarm velocity for installations where the velocity can be reduced for calibration or by using ‘2 point calibration’ to calculate the alarm value by capturing 100 and 150% of the airflow.
  • Audio Visual Alarm – Audible alarm with Red, Amber and Green LED’s.
  • 2 relay inputs that are used for Sash High Alarm (audible/visual alarm with mute) and Night Setback (visual with audible mute).
  • Low air Alarm relay output
  • Com Port – RS485 used with Config manager software for monitor configuration.
