Ultrasonic Air Flow Sensor

Mine Radio Systems (MRS) Ultrasonic Airflow Sensor (UAFS) is the industries most reliable and accurate air flow sensor designed for mining and tunneling applications. Engineered based on the ultrasonic time-of-flight principle, the UAFS application provides mining and tunneling operators with the most precise monitoring and warning solution available.

How does it work?

MRS UAFS consists of a control module and two transducers mounted diagonally on opposite sides of a tunnel. Once hardware installation is complete the tunnels dimensional parameters must be programmed into the control module. Direct readings are easily obtained locally via the LED display or remotely via Modbus and/or an isolated 4-20mA output.

Features
Accurate exhaust / intake measurements Remote flow measurements in dangerous or restricted areas Ventilation automation and controlled recirculation Timely measurement of air flow reversal in the event of a fire Early detection of fan malfunction or shutdown

FLOSONIC AIR FLOW SENSOR [UAFS]

Unlike many other commercially available air flow sensors, UAFS monitors the air flow through a complete drift cross section. This COMPONENT BRIEF technology virtually eliminates the errors most reliable and accurate air flow sensor associated with turbulent World s flow near the sensor. Ultrasonic bursts are transmitted between the and used to precisely calculate the
designed for mining and tunneling applications
