GF-A2000

Analog Output Airflow/Temperature Transmitter Module w/Contact Closure Airflow Alarm

Transmitter Module w/Contact Closure Airflow Alarm

The GF-A2000 transmitter accepts one IAT-DI probe or up to two IAT-UI/US probes. The transmitter has two analog output signals. One output signal can be assigned to the average airflow of the connected probes or the airflow of the individual probe connected to “P1” when two IAT-UI/DI probes are used. The second output signal can be assigned to the probe connected to “P2” or the average temperature of the connected probes. A contact closure relay is also provided that can be assigned to one or more of the built-in alarms.

  • Provide continuous verification of airflow rates
  • Ideal for monitoring applications

OVERVIEW

The GF-A2000 can be provided with a single integrated IAT-DI duct probe or, one or two integrated IAT-UI or IAT-US universal mount probes.

The GF-A2000 provides a linear analog output signal for the average airflow of one or two probes on analog output AO1. A second analog output, AO2, can be configured to output the airflow of the second probe for applications where two probes are installed in separate locations. Analog output AO2 can also be assigned to temperature or one of the notification alarms. A contact closure relay is provided that can be assigned to the notification alarms. The GF-A2000 can be configured for I-P or SI units of measure.

Although the transmitter is “plug and play” and operates on power up, it is fully configurable in the field using the pushbutton interface and LCD.

FUNCTIONALITY

Airflow Measurement: Provides the average airflow rate in FPM [m/s] or CFM [LPS] on the LCD and to analog output AO1 and optionally AO2 when two probes are provided

Configurable Ranges: 0-5V/1-5V or 0-10V/2-10V- specify at time of order

Temperature Measurement: Provides the velocity weighted or arithmetic average temperature in ⁰F [ ⁰C] on the LCD and to analog output AO2 when AO2 is assigned to temperature

Notification Alarms

High/Low Airflow Alarm

System Trouble Alarm

Note: Alarms can be assigned to the contact closure relay or analog output AO2
