Fume Hood Monitors and Controls

Fume hoods are essential to many life sciences workflows — from organic synthesis to sample preparation. TSI fume hood monitors and controls are designed to help you achieve consistent performance and clear user feedback while supporting audit-ready data practices.

What You Gain

• Clear visibility: Large indicators and real-time face velocity readouts give users instant status at the point of use.
• Consistent operation: Configurable alarm thresholds, delay timers, and sash prompts reinforce SOPs and help reduce training burden in shared spaces.
• Connected data: BACnet or Modbus integration makes it easy to trend face velocity, capture alarms, and centralize event logs for review.
• Energy awareness: Occupancy and schedule-based modes, along with sash sensing, can enable demand-based ventilation strategies.

Core Functions

• Accurate face velocity measurement with easy-to-understand color and numeric displays.
• Multi-level audible and visual alarms that draw attention without overwhelming users.
• Sash position monitoring and prompts that reinforce correct operation.
• BAS connectivity for trending, integrated alarming, and enterprise dashboards.
• Commissioning and calibration tools that streamline setup and ongoing verification.

Life Sciences Applications

• Pharmaceutical and biotech R&D labs requiring repeatable hood conditions to support method consistency.
• Analytical and sample prep spaces where hood usage varies throughout the day and across teams.
• Teaching and collaboration labs where intuitive displays help new users adopt best practices.

Integration and Documentation

• Map key points — face velocity, alarm state, sash position — to your BAS for historical records and analytics.
• Use trends to evaluate hood utilization, identify training opportunities, and schedule maintenance before performance drifts.
• Align local alarm behavior with facility-wide notification policies to support rapid response.

Selection Considerations

• Choose display size and mounting for high visibility in busy labs.
• Determine whether monitor-only or monitor-plus-control best fits your SOPs.
• Confirm protocol (BACnet or Modbus) and naming conventions for clean integration.
