APPLICATIO
The EFAMS is a highly accurate electronic thermal dispersion type
fan inlet air measurement device for reporting air flow and air
temperature. The EFAMS transmitter averages multiple velocity
and temperature readings from a minimum of two sensors located
in the fan inlet bell. The surface mount sensor design ensures the
lowest pressure drop in the industry when compared to other after-
market fan inlet air measurement devices. Each sensor circuit is
equipped with a heated and passive thermistor. Up to four inlet
sensors can be connected to one router. The router multiplexes the
sensor’s air flow and temperature information and sends this as a
digital signal to the transmitter for processing. Each Transmitter is
capable of averaging two routers and four sensors per router, to
arrive at the total measured air flow. The EFAMS transmitter, with
two-line, 16 character, configurable display shows both air flow and
air temperature with two corresponding, isolated analog outputs, for
ease of interface with any automation system.
