VRE1 volume flow controllers measure the volume flow directly atthedamperblade.The duct casing is free of disruptingmeasuringleadsandotherinbuiltpartswhich results in large free cross-sec-tions.Theflowdoesnotpassthroughthemeasuring device! It is thereforeimmune to noise.The motorised actuator M1 is equippedwith plain text displays, anilluminated display and adjustmentbuttons.LEDstatusdisplaysprovideinformation on the current operatingstatusofthevolumeflowcontrolleratall times using different colours and signaltypes.Inaddition,allsettingsanddisplayscanbetransferredtoaPCviatheRS232interface located on the front,wheretheycanbeviewedandexecuted.The motorised actuator M2 is not equipped with plain text displays, dis-play,adjustmentbuttonsandLEDstatusdisplays.ThesettingsanddisplaysarecarriedoutusingaPCvia theRS232interface.Settingscanalsobemadeandorde-red at the factory.Changes canbemadeon site via the adjustment but-tonsorusingaPC.

Maintenance-free, electronic volume flow controller for variable and constant volume flows. Circular design for installation in circular ventilation ducts for supply and exhaust air ventilation and air conditioning systems. Duct casing and centrally supported damper blade made of galvanised sheet steel, stainless steel bearing shafts in special bearing bushes. With peripheral seal on the damper blade to shut off the circular ventilation duct.
Measuring device integrated into the damper blade. High degree of control accuracy in a total volume flow range of 1:10. The volume flow must be kept constant at variable pressures between 20 and 1000 Pa with a maximum deviation of ±5% to ±15%.
Maintenance-free 24 V actuator with integrated electrical connection and strain relief. Constant, Variable or 4-point operation modes can be set via illuminated display with plain text display or using software via an RS232 interface. LED status displays for indication of controller operation statuses. Adjustable operation modes 0 – 10 V, 2 – 10 V and 2 – 8 V for variable operation. Higher-level override for opening and closing the damper blade. Analogue output signals for the actual volume flow and for efficiency in order to optimise the fan output. Equipment for parallel and sequential operation of several volume flow controllers.
Leak tightness class C for the casing and leak tightness class 3 or 4 for the damper blade, each according to DIN EN 1751. Certificate of conformity as proof of compliance with the hygiene requirements according to VDI 6022-1, VDI 3803-1, DIN 1946-4, DIN EN 13779, SWKI VA104-01, SWKI 99-3, ÖNORM H6020 and ÖNORM H6021. With Environmental Product Declaration certificate according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804.
With acoustic insulation, with lip seals.
