  • Page 6: Installation

    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.
  • Page 7: Mounting

    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.

    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.
