Series AVUL Air Velocity Transmitter with Modbus
Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
The Series AVUL Air Velocity Transmitter quickly and accurately measures air
velocity or volumetric flow in imperial or metric units. Simultaneous current and voltage
outputs on all models provide universal inputs to monitoring equipment while the
output range, units, and 0-5/10 VDC output can be configured via local DIP switches.
The optional integral display, or the portable remote display tool, provide a convenient
way to locally monitor process values and configure the unit.
Models are available in 3% and 5% accuracy models to suit a variety of needs, and the
optional BACnet MS/TP or Modbus
RTU/ASCII communication protocol allows units
®
to be daisy-chained while providing access to all of the velocity and flow data, as well
as additional information such as air temperature.

    INSTALLATION Although low loop resistances are recommended, the absolute maximum current loop load resistance, R , is defined by the following the equation: Duct Mount: – 2.0) The transmitter should be mounted away from fans, corners, heating and cooling where V is the power supply voltage 0.02 coils, and other equipment that will effect the measurement of the air velocity.
  • Page 3 Simultaneous Current and Voltage Output Operation Setting the Air Velocity Range The range of the instrument is selected by using DIP switches 1 and 2 on SW1. Table DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED SUPPLY VOLTAGE RATINGS. CAUTION 1 shows the maximum full scale value for the selected range and unit. Refer to Setting PERMANENT DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY WILL the Engineering Units section for information on setting the unit.

    MAINTENANCE/REPAIR Access Security Upon final installation of the Series AVUL Air Velocity Transmitter, no routine Level Setting View Menu Edit Menu Span Zero maintenance is required besides zeroing the transmitter occasionally. Besides routine calibration and installation of the LCD, the Series AVUL is not field serviceable, and it is not possible to repair the unit.

    Coils The coil registers represent functions of the device. The value returned when reading a coil register indicates the status of the last function execution. If the value is 1, then the last time the function executed was a success. If the value is 0, then the function has either not been executed since power on or failed during the last execution.
