AirGard® Lab Hood Monitors
Alnor AirGard Lab Hood Monitors indicate safe levels of air flow
in laboratory fume hoods. The Model 200, 335, and 405 Monitors are
used to measure and report on exhaust flow in many critical or controlled
indoor environments, including pharmaceutical and university laboratories.
The AirGard 200 and AirGard 405 Monitors are simple, low-cost options
for your monitoring requirements. The AirGard 335 provides the same
reliable measurements with added features that make it more versatile.
All these models are easy to install, making them an excellent choice
for both new installations and retrofits.
The AirGard 200, 335 and 405 Lab Hood Monitors continuously monitor
lab hood face velocity by measuring the air velocity of clean air
from the room passing through the air inlet on the front of the
monitor. Maintaining an adequate face velocity is critical for containment
of hazardous substances that may be present in the lab hood.
When the face velocity drops below a user-determined level, all
AirGard Lab Hood Monitors activate an audible alarm, visual alarm,
and relay output. The 200 and 405 monitors indicate low face velocity
with a red LED and an audible alarm. The 335 monitor has jumbo LEDs
to indicate safe, marginal, or low duct exhaust and sounds an audible
alarm during low face velocity conditions. The AirGard 335 Monitor
also has a digital bar graph to indicate face velocity conditions,
an optional digital velocity display to aid in the diagnosis of
problem face velocities, and a high flow alarm to help detect excessive
air velocity. In addition, all AirGard Lab Hood Monitors can report
unsafe face velocity conditions to other personnel in a remote location
by means of a relay output.
Installation and set-up of the Alnor AirGard Lab Hood Monitors is
simple and quick. The 200 and 335 Monitors are flush mounted. The
405 Monitor is a surface-mounted version ideal for retrofitting
existing lab hoods. Calibration of the AirGard 200 and 405 Monitors
consists of setting the low alarm set point. The AirGard 335 Monitor
requires a 2-point velocity calibration.
