How to configure a Sentera product?

For the purpose, Sentera developed its free software suite 3SMCenter, which you can download from our website. Its intuitive interface facilitates the process of configuration, monitoring or updating of our products featuring Modbus RTU.

3SMCenter

The 3SMcenter suite includes 3 software platforms:

  • 3SMUSBto change firmware of some specific controller series featuring numerous hidden functionalities. Thus, the controller will obtain a functionality that is different from the factory-installed one according to your application requirements.
  • 3SMModbusto configure or monitor Sentera devices via Modbus RTU. Most Sentera products have no trimmers, dip switches or jumpers to adjust settings. Trimmers are not accurate enough and they make remote control impossible. All parameters of Sentera devices can be adjusted via Modbus RTU. The different settings are very precise and can be copied to similar devices easily, in this way a number of devices will feature identical settings and work in unison. Highly accurate digital technology has replaced the good old analogue technology. This digital technology also creates new possibilities like internet connectivity, remote monitoring, remote control, etc. So, in case you want to adjust the temperature range, to limit maximum fan speed or to change a pressure setpoint, we advise you to use the 3SModbus software in combination with the CNVT-USB-RS485 converter.

  • 3SMBootto update firmware of Sentera devices with bootloader functionality. Via the 3SMBoot software, firmware of Sentera devices with integrated bootloader functionality can be updated. Most Sentera products feature integrated bootloader functionality – consult the product datasheet for more information. A firmware update makes it possible to modify the functionality or to make the product compatible with more recent Sentera firmware version.

What is the difference between VAV and CAV? What does Constant Pressure Control involve?
What is the difference between VAV and CAV? What does Constant Pressure Control involve? When desgning a ventilation system, we often come across the terms "VAV", "CAV" and "Constant Pressure Control". In this article I would like to explain what these terms mean exactly, when which option is used and what you need to pay attention to when designing and adjusting an automated ventilation system. >>>

New Sentera product catalogue
New Sentera product catalogue Since 1997, Sentera has been a leading manufacturer of fan speed controllers for ventilation systems. However, over the past decades, Sentera has also invested heavily in the development of control systems, sensors and Modbus network equipment. All these individual devices are excellent examples of Belgian top technology. However, combined in our Sentera Solutions, they form high-performance control systems for the most diverse ventilation applications. >>>

CO poisoning in parking garages
CO poisoning in parking garages Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that mixes with normal air. It remains present for a long time and does not break off spontaneously. Inhaled CO is absorbed into the blood through the lungs, just like oxygen. This disrupts the transport of oxygen to the cells and causes a lack of oxygen. >>>

What are 3-speed control switches and how do they operate?
What are 3-speed control switches and how do they operate? Many motors today are designed to be as flexible as possible when it comes to speed. A three-speed motor has three field windings and a rotor, all in one housing. Each field winding is designed to spin the rotor at a different speed. This enables one motor to be used for a number of different applications. A three-speed motor usually has four wires, the three speed wires and the common wire. Power is supplied to the common wire and any one of the speed wires for a certain speed. >>>

Sensors for demand based ventilation systems
Sensors for demand based ventilation systems Which sensors should I use in my building? This is the question that is regularly asked these days with most people spending up to 90 % of their time indoors. Due to Corona and the ever-improving insulation of our buildings, the importance of good ventilation is becoming increasingly clear. Along with this advancing insight, additional questions arise. >>>
