The modes are described as an enumerated point:
STARTUP MODE
Mode
Description
0 Normal The controller is fully functional.
2 Non-functional
Decommission,
closed
The controller is fully functional, except the flow
setpoint is set to 0, alarming is limited and the ODP
displays “Out of service” and “OFF”. If the sash is
opened, nothing changes.
3
(default)
Non-functional
Startup
The controller is fully functional, except alarming
does not work and the ODP displays “Controller –
Startup” and “OFF”.
The digital output DO6 can be used for local indication that the sash was opened after
the hood entered Out of Service mode. The output will remain ON until STARTUP
MODE is changed.
Fail Mode
If the Fume Hood Controller or one of its accessories fails, then a failure mode
sequence is initiated.
Fume Hood Controller – If the Fume Hood Controller power fails, the exhaust damper
goes to the fully opened position. Since there is no power to the controller, no LEDs or
displays are available on the ODP. If the power fails to both the exhaust fan and the
controller, there is no indication except for the absence of the noise that the air makes
during normal operation.
Operator Display Panel – If the ODP fails, then the Fume Hood Controller continues to
control the flow. However, displays and audible alarms are not available.
OAVS Sensor – If the OAVS sensor fails or is disconnected, then GEN FAILURE turns
ON, AO2 goes to zero Vdc, and the Fume Hood Controller controls the exhaust
damper to the condition described in AVS FAILMODE. This will be either fully open or
holding the current position. The ODP displays the failure.
(Optional) Differential Pressure Transmitter – If A I3 is used and the differential
pressure transmitter fails by losing the 4 to 20 mA signal, then GEN FAILURE turns
ON, AO2 goes to 0 Vdc, and the Fume Hood Controller controls the exhaust damper to
the condition described in AVS FAILMODE. This will be either fully open or holding the
current position. The ODP displays the failure.
Electronic Actuator – If the actuator fails and flow control is lost, the ODP displays
alarms indicating unsafe operating conditions.
Upon loss of power the actuator will fail based on the related DIP switch settings.
