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.

Sentera is well known in the ventilation world as a manufacturer of fan speed controllers for electric motors. Sentera fan speed controllers are available in different versions for both AC and EC motors. Sentera manufactures, among other things, the proven and robust transformer fan speed controllers for AC motors. These fan speed controllers use autotransformers and ensure optimal and silent operation of the motor. These fan speed controllers are available for motors with a capacity of up to 20 A. In addition to these transformer fan speed controllers, Sentera's electronic fan speed controllers are also available. These fan speed controllers work on the basis of phase angle control (Triac) and are therefore much more compact and lightweight. These fan speed controllers are available for motors up to 10 A. Sentera has developed a range of potentiometers for controlling EC motors, with or without Modbus compatibility. Significant energy savings Sentera has developed an extensive range of sensors and transmitters to efficiently control our fan speed controllers. Based on measurements of moisture, temperature, CO2, air quality, CO and NO2, ventilation systems can be controlled optimally and significant energy savings can be achieved.
Sentera HVAC sensors measure temperature - relative humidity – CO2 – air quality or TVOC - CO - NO2 and ambient light. These parameters have a direct impact on the health, the sense of well-being and the comfort of residents. The differential pressure sensors also measure air volume flow or air velocity. A typical application is to monitor the amount of fresh air that is supplied into a building. Sensor controllers and intelligent sensors can directly control EC fans, AC fan speed controllers or damper actuators.
To set, monitor and adjust our sensors and Modbus devices remotely, we developed the Senteraweb online HVAC platform. The Senteraweb platform also offers the possibility to install installation-specific firmware and to control ventilation systems according to an adjustable calendar function. Sentera Solutions In recent years, Sentera has built up a library of solutions for the most diverse ventilation applications. On the Sentera website, all these Sentera Solutions are divided into specific groups, depending on the application. With each solution you will find a clear description of the application and a handy wiring diagram. Some solutions require specific firmware that can be installed via Senteraweb.

Sentera I/O modules are Modbus RTU compatibleSentera I/O modules are Modbus RTU compatible. They are of course used in Sentera HVAC solutions, but because they are universal they can also be useful for your project or product.
Fire alarm panels, motion detection, door contacts, etc. ... Sometimes your (HVAC) application interacts with external equipment. Sentera offers a full range of converters or I/O modules. They are widely used in industrial and automation applications, but home automation or ventilation solutions for domestic use also make full use of I/O modules. I/O modules are the interface between a controller and external equipment.>>>
