Sentera – your partner in HVAC control solutions

Internet of Things - or IoT - refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data. The IoT is a giant network of connected things and people – all of which collect and share data about the way they are used and about the environment around them. The Internet of Things is making the fabric of the world around us more smarter and more responsive, merging the digital and physical universes.

The Covid pandemic is still dominating our daily lives and unfortunately will continue to do so for some time to come. Ventilation and CO2 measurements are now a common thread through the varying tightening and relaxation of measures. Now that the importance of CO2 monitoring in classrooms is increasingly recognized, it may be useful to take a closer look at the long-term solutions.

The Sentera DPS differential pressure sensor guarantees the display of the actual and real air flow rate in function of the occupancy rate of a room or building

Given the current circumstances (Corona virus, polluted air, ...), monitoring indoor air quality is strongly encouraged. CO2 meters are particularly suitable for controlling a ventilation system because they indicate whether there is sufficient fresh air in the room. Suddenly you can buy CO2 meters on every street corner. They are available in different price categories, sizes, types, etc. How do you select the right CO2 sensor for your project?

A specific version of the RDCV9-AD is available especially for the Sentera CO2 sensors that can read up to 6 sensors

CO2 and VOCs are generally known as 2 factors that contaminate the air that we breathe. Now studies find that yet another substance, hazardous to our health, moves about airborne: toxic ‘forever chemicals’ or PFAS.

Sufficient fresh air supply is not only important for the feeling of well-being and for optimal functioning - it is also essential for your health. In closed indoor spaces, sufficient ventilation is necessary to minimise the risk of spreading the Coronavirus. Providing ventilation in existing buildings is, however, not always easy. Therefore exhaust ventilation can be a good solution in many cases.

HVAC sensors monitor indoor air quality. Based on specific measurements supply and exhaust fan speed is regulated to guarantee sufficient fresh air supply and to optimise the energy efficiency of the ventilation system.

Why is air quality in hospitals so important? A hospital is a place where both weak and healthy people come into close contact with each other. In Corona times, that is a frightening scenario that requires many precautions to make this possible in safe conditions. Monitoring indoor air quality is one of these precautions.

Sentera CO2 meters help to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus in this school in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. Continuously measuring CO2 concentrations in classrooms provides certainty about indoor air quality. Good indoor air quality is essential to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Fresh indoor air reduces the risk of COVID-19 contaminations. Sentera HVAC sensors check whether there is sufficient fresh air supply. In addition to the traffic light indication that is standard available on the CO2 sensors, an additional display can be added. The measurements can be visualised via this optional 5-inch touchscreen.

These brand new fan speed controllers replace the good old MTX and MTY series. They control single-phase motors up to 3 Amps. Not only the design of the enclosure has been modernised, also the electronics are brand new and offer many benefits. Especially the quieter motor operation at low speed is remarkable. The spring clamp connectors reduce installation time and guarantee a long-term reliable contact for solid or stranded wires.

Variable speed control for AC fans with voltage controllable motor. The main advantages of an electronic speed controller are its quiet operation and the fact that no complex configuration is required. Once everything is connected, motor speed can be regulated infinitely variable – for most applications with the default settings.

Reliable and simple 5-step control for AC fans with voltage controllable motor. The generated motor voltage has a perfect sinusoidal shape. This results in exceptionally quiet motor operation and extended service life. These fan speed controllers do not require configuration. Once connected, they are ready to use!

EC fans, AC fan speed controllers or damper actuators are often controlled via a 0-10 Volt analogue control signal. Control signals are typically used to control devices remotely. Such control signal can be generated manually via a potentiometer or control switch. Via the potentiometer, fan speed can be set remotely.

As a manufacturer of innovative HVAC control solutions, we want to make the latest technology available to our customers. To facilitate configuration of Sentera devices, we developed a user-friendly, intuitive software: 3S Modbus. This software can be downloaded from our website. Via a USB converter, Sentera devices can be connected to your windows PC. Connected Sentera products are automatically recognised. Values can be monitored and parameters settings can be adjusted.
