Fume Hood Monitors and Controls

Laboratory fume hoods are essential for protecting professionals from hazardous substances, and TSI’s Fume Hood Monitors and Controllers ensure optimal safety and efficiency. TSI Fume Hood Monitors directly measure face velocity to verify containment and alert users to unsafe conditions. TSI Fume Hood Controllers, which manage airflow based on velocity or sash opening, optimize energy savings by safely reducing exhaust volumes. TSI’s solutions support compliance with ANSI, ASHRAE, NFPA, and OSHA standards, promoting best practices in fume hood performance and laboratory design.

R&D teams need hood feedback that is immediate, clear, and adaptable. TSI fume hood monitors and controls are built to help researchers confirm hood status at a glance while giving facility managers the data and connectivity needed to support evolving projects.

Why These Monitors Fit R&D

  • Instant clarity: Large indicators and numeric face velocity readouts show status quickly so users can proceed with confidence.
  • Consistency across teams: Configurable alarm thresholds, timing, and behavior help align with lab SOPs and reduce confusion for rotating personnel.
  • Integration for insight: BACnet or Modbus connectivity brings face velocity, sash position, and alarm states into your BAS for trending and analysis.
  • Energy-aware operation: Occupancy and schedule-based modes, along with sash prompts, can enable demand-driven ventilation strategies.

Feature Highlights

  • Real-time face velocity measurement and color-coded status.
  • Audible and visual alarms with adjustable thresholds and delays.
  • Optional sash position sensing and prompts to support correct use.
  • Local overrides and purge functions when your SOPs call for them.
  • Commissioning tools that help technicians calibrate and verify performance quickly.

R&D Scenarios

  • Project rooms where hood use spikes during specific phases of an experiment.
  • Shared labs where users vary by day and benefit from standardized interfaces.
  • Pilot lines adjacent to labs, where coordinated BAS alarms improve response times.

Data and Analytics

  • Trend hood performance to identify drift, schedule maintenance, and guide training.
  • Correlate utilization with project timelines to plan capacity and energy strategies.
  • Use alarm histories to refine thresholds and reduce nuisance events.

Choosing the Right Setup

  • Decide on monitor-only versus monitor-plus-control based on your sequence needs.
  • Select display and mounting options that are easy to view from typical work positions.
  • Confirm BAS protocol and point lists to streamline integration and commissioning.
