aSENSE MIII

aSENSE MIII is a controller with built-in sensors to monitor carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide at the same time. With these parameters, the programmable unit can control, e.g. ventilation rates, and generate alarm signals for personal safety devices. This product is designed for stand-alone operation, as well as being connected to larger building automation systems.

Defining attributes

Maintenance free
Two sensors in one housing
Flexible control outputs for connection to DDC, or direct control of dampers and speed regulated fans
Contributes to lower energy costs when applied in Demand Controlled Ventilation
Internal data recorder for environmental trend logging
Serial com port for connection to PC, GSM-module or local network

The aSENSE MIII is applicable in most large spaces where combustion is the source of the potential toxic danger, such as in public garages, truck terminals, tunnels and mines. It offers the possibility to combine CO and CO₂ measurements which not just guarantees public safety, but also saves energy when applied to Demand Controlled Ventilation.

This product offers the possibility to regulate ventilation systems stand-alone, as well as being just a sensor in a larger system. To cover larger spaces, e.g. several sensors could be joined in a simple relay loop and together control an intermittent two-speed exhaust fan.
