Fume Hood Monitors and Controls

Industrial lab teams balance process quality, worker safety, and energy consumption. TSI fume hood monitors and controls are designed to help you standardize hood performance across sites and shifts while making daily operation clear and intuitive for technicians.

Why Industrial Facilities Choose TSI

• Operational visibility: Real-time face velocity indication, color-coded status, and clear audible/visual alarms help operators identify when conditions fall outside target ranges.
• Consistent performance: Configurable alarm setpoints, sash position prompts, and local overrides support standard operating procedures and help promote consistent use across multiple hoods and rooms.
• Energy stewardship: Integration with building automation allows demand-based control strategies, such as night setback, occupancy response, or hood diversity, to help reduce energy consumption while meeting process needs.
• Industrial-grade reliability: Rugged construction, stable sensing, and proven electronics support day-to-day reliability in demanding environments.

Key Capabilities

• Face velocity measurement and display to help maintain airflow at intended targets.
• Sash position sensing options that cue users on proper sash height and enable sequence logic.
• Multi-level alarms with configurable thresholds and delay times to minimize nuisance alerts.
• Local user interface with large, readable indicators for quick status checks.
• BAS integration via BACnet or Modbus for trending, central alarming, and coordinated control.
• Flexible I/O for connection to valves, actuators, occupancy sensors, or interlocks.
• Commissioning tools that speed setup with guided calibration and test modes.

Application Scenarios

• Pilot plants and process development labs where recipes change and airflow demands vary by shift.
• Quality control labs with standardized test protocols that depend on repeatable hood performance.
• Maintenance shops and teaching labs where clear indicators and training prompts help new users.

Integration and Data

• Connect to your building management system for centralized monitoring, alarm routing, and historical data analysis.
• Trend face velocity and sash position to help identify training opportunities, improve hood utilization, and spot maintenance needs early.
• Use local data and BAS logs to support audits, internal EHS reporting, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Selection Guidance

• Monitor only vs. monitor plus control: Choose local monitoring for awareness or pair with volumetric control for active airflow management.
• Interface requirements: Consider display readability, language options, and alarm behavior for your user base.
• Connectivity: Confirm BACnet/Modbus needs and whether trending and centralized alarming are part of your workflow.
• Retrofit vs. new build: Evaluate mounting, wiring, and sensor options that fit your existing installations.
