Understanding Ventilation Efficiency and DCV in Parking Structures and Garages

When it comes to capturing energy savings, owners, contractors, and engineers will utilize several design efforts to reduce a building’s total energy consumption and carbon footprint. The first area that design engineers typically tackle is the lighting design of the building (using things such as building orientation to maximize natural light or low energy consuming LED lights), but another large consumer of energy in a building is the ventilation system used for garage parking.

Dwyer Fast Track Makes Your Perfect Fit

Humidity/Temperature Transmitter, Series RHP

The Dwyer sales team recently visited a customer in Kentucky who needed to monitor air temperature in an air handling unit. They were drawn to the Dwyer Series RHP Humidity/ Temperature Transmitter, but tight quarters within the air handler unit meant that a standard mounting configuration was simply not enough to meet the customer’s needs. Fortunately, Dwyer was able to offer a solution to fit the customer’s needs. Continue reading “Dwyer Fast Track Makes Your Perfect Fit”

How to Set Up and Record with a SCD and Mini-Node™ Signal Converter

The DIN Rail Temperature/Process Controller, Series SCD, offers multiple PID loops in a compact size. Each SCD-1000 master controller can be combined with up to seven SCD-2000 slave controllers without any wires. Each controller has one universal input, one relay output, and one user selected output.

The Series SCD can be used with a Mini-Node™ Signal Converter for applications such as: oven, boiler, or chiller control; packaging equipment; environmental chambers; medical equipment; or food service equipment. The Mini-Node™ converter, Model MN-1, is a low cost device that converts half duplex RS-485 serial communications signals into a signal that can be read by any computer with a USB port.

Wiring up the MN-1 to an SCD controller can be accomplished in just a few steps, and the set up software is simple to use. Continue reading “How to Set Up and Record with a SCD and Mini-Node™ Signal Converter”
