Fume Cupboard Safety Sequence Control

Microprocessor Controller
  • Our proprietary microprocessor controller is purpose built to perform all the safety sequence functions for fume cupboards defined by Standard AS/NZS 2243.8
     
  • External devices (fans, light, power outlets)are switched by high capacity relays on the main circuit board. The relays are electrically separated from the control circuitry, and relay contacts are protected by varistors.
     
  • The control circuit board is installed in an enclosure with mains power local isolator, circuit breaker for fan & light, and RCD breaker for power outlets.
     
  • The control box is suitable for retrofitting on existing fume cupboards.
     
  • Operating programs are stored in a plug in eeprom and can be easily upgraded to new versions. The operating program is selected by binary switch. New features can be implemented using the same controller.
