The AAVS is a high-accuracy airflow measurement sensor designed for Ecogate systems using the greenBOX (Adelie-generation). It continuously measures air velocity in the main duct by sampling across the duct cross-section and averaging the results, delivering reliable real-time airflow and velocity data directly to the control system. This data improves system regulation, simplifies recalibration after system changes, and supports compliance with minimum conveying velocity requirements.

Our Current Sensor is a versatile solution that can be used on simple tools like a chop saw or on industrial machines equipped with a VFD. One of the primary advantages of this sensor is that it does not need to be connected to the workstation; it only requires a phase wire to the motor through the sensor opening, making it simple and efficient to install. The sensor sensitivity can be adjusted for a current of 0.5 - 175 A, making it suitable for motors ranging from 0.5 HP and up.

Mirroring the capabilities of its CLASS 2 counterpart, this sensor detects both operator movement and product presence within a 2.5 to 196-inch range. The key distinction of the CLASS 1 laser sensor lies in its invisible laser, unlike the visible beam of CLASS 2 sensors. This feature makes it particularly suitable for school environments, prioritizing safety without compromising detection accuracy.

Ensure proper installation and support, for Ecogate Gates. The tester measures motor current during gate opening and closing. By comparing the measured current with the recommended values shown on the tester, installers can confirm whether the gate is adequately supported. If the current is lower than expected, the support is sufficient.
