3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 INSTALLATION The ELECTRA-flo/SD is intended for use in 4” to 16” ducts and in VAV terminal box applications in an environment between -20°F to 120°F where it will not be exposed to rain or snow. The ELECTRA-flo/SD electronics enclosure is designed to be mounted to the exterior of the duct or VAV box with the sensor probe inserted through the side of the duct or VAV box.
ELECTRA-flo/SD’s minimum placement guidelines. IMPORTANT NOTE: It may be necessary to remove a portion of external duct insulation to allow the ELECTRA-flo/SD to be securely mounted to the exterior of the duct wall. 2. Remove the four screws (8-32 x 0.325) that attach the mounting bracket to the enclosure.
CAUTION: Incoming and outgoing RS485 cable shield wires should be connected together, but must not be connected to the RS485 ground. The ELECTRA-flo/SD can be powered by either 24 VAC providing 20-28 VAC or 24 VDC providing 20-40 VDC. Air Monitor +1 (800) airflow Page 8 www.airmonitor.com...

3. Confirm the BACnet or MODBUS output is being correctly received by the BMS. 4. Replace the cover of the ELECTRA-flo/SD making sure not to pinch any wires and secure in place with the four screws. Do not over tighten.
ELECTRA-flo/SD is first brought on to the MS/TP network, the device instance number will be identical to the MAC address configured with the dip-switches. Once the ELECTRA-flo/SD is added to the network, the instance number can be configured through the ELECTRA-flo/SD’s Device Object in the BACnet system to any number from 0-4,194,303.

Analog Value 0 is used to scale the velocity to a volumetric flow rate. Mind the flow rate and the units of measurement the ELECTRA-flo/SD is currently set for. When in US units, the AV-0 present value should be set to square feet. When in SI units, the AV-0 present value should be set to square meters.

ELECTRA-flo SD SECTION 5.0: MAINTENANCE / INSPECTIONS The ELECTRA-flo/SD has been designed to operate in most HVAC applications without the need for periodic maintenance or calibration. In some applications it may be necessary to perform a visual inspection of the probe and sensors, and if necessary clean them using a soft, small brush and/ or compressed air to remove any accumulated particulate or debris.
