1. Automatic Control Panel
A fully programmable Cylon automatic control panel is included as standard in the Monodraught package.
The Cylon panels are able to be connected to either
temperature, air quality, CO2 or humidity sensors, depending upon the particular application.
The Cylon panel can be located in a plant control room, it does not need to be located in the room that it is serving. Cylon panels can serve multiple rooms, up to eight Classrooms can be served by one UC16
panel with the following controls.
Temperature
One or more temperature sensors are positioned in the room to achieve an average reading. This is the simplest method of Automatic control and is suitable for most applications. Summer/Winter switching enables the temperature set points to be increased in the winter setting to prevent heat loss during this period. For more information about the temperature sensors click here.
Air Quality
In the case of highly densely populated rooms, such as Conference Rooms or social areas, air quality sensors are recommended in conjunction with temperature sensors.
CO2/Humidity
For more specialised applications, dedicated CO2 and/or humidity sensors can also be incorporated. Room Sensors should be ideally located approximately 1.8m from floor level in an area to which there is no direct heat gains, such as near windows or above equipment.
Manual Overrides
A green push button manual override is incorporated on the temperature sensor or mounted on the face of the Cylon panel. The mode of operation is as follows:
First push hold for two seconds and the dampers will remain open for one hour (20 minutes in the winter) before returning to their pre-set position.
Second push and hold for two seconds the dampers will then close fully, irrespective of the control panel and will then return to their pre-set condition after one hour
(20 minutes in the winter).
Third push and hold for two seconds will automatically return the settings to the control panel.
2. Remote Control
This is a less sophisticated control method and provides remote control to the volume control dampers via an electrically operated, wall mounted positioner as shown. The user would simply alter the percentage of damper opening by twisting the dial to the desired position to suit the conditions. For more information about the Remote Positioner click here.
3. Manual Control
This is the most basic method of control. Instead of motorised dampers, manual dampers are fitted and are operated by a lever at ceiling diffuser level. In the case
of high ceilings or where access to the dampers is limited, Monodraught can provide a manual winding mechanism. As with the Remote Control method the user would simply alter the percentage of damper opening by operating the
lever to open the dampers to the desired position to suit the conditions.
