F600 Air Sensor

The F600 board level air velocity sensor for continuous monitoring of airflow in small locations

  • The revolutionary F600 airflow sensor has a breakthrough physical design with a small form factor of 0.5 high X 0.25 wide and X 1.0 long with a 0.1 pitch design
  • Costly electronic components are protected by the F600 by using the output to sound an alarm or to reduce system power if there is a loss of air velocity
  • Communication to the F600 is done via an I2C or UART interface
  • User configurable outputs include PWM, tach or alarm open drain output
  • An air velocity range of 0.5 to 5.0 m/s (100-1000 fpm) and an operating temperature range of 10C to 60C
  • Accepts a power supply of 12 VDC and has a 45 airflow acceptance angle
  • A temperature output is also included
  • With internal factory calibration, the F600 sensors are fully interchangeable with one another
  • No field calibration is required
