Control Panel w/ Filter Alarm and Night Switch; for BioSafe CR, External-Mount Panel, 24 V

Control Panel

• Provides centralized control and monitoring of cleanroom functions
• Typically mounted at the main entry of the cleanroom
• Optional Night Service Mode switches FFUs into low-energy mode during off-hours to lower operating costs without shutting down the cleanroom.
• Can be upgraded to Smart Control System for added environmental sensors and FFU control to meet critical performance/monitoring requirements.

Filter replacement alarm

• Helps avoid unexpected and costly cleanroom operational interruptions by automatically alerting for cleanroom filter replacements
• 1 Filter Replacement Alarm can cover for all Filter Fan Units (FFUs) in the cleanroom
• Provides both audible and visual alarm
• Audible: Buzzer with silencer
• Visual: TUI Logo flashes
• Includes adjustable alarm set-point to adjust frequency of filter replacement based on backpressure within a FFU
• Typically mounts next to the cleanroom control panel
• Connections:
• Power: power connects to either the cleanroom’s power distribution module, or to a standard 120V/220V outlet
• Pressure: ¼” plastic tubing connects from the alarm unit to one FFU

Night Service Switch

• Energy-saving mode saves 25% of fan operating costs by reducing power consumption during off-hours
• Maintains round-the-clock cleanroom integrity at lower cost
• Easy to activate via panel-mounted switch (Wireless Cleanroom Control System also available)

Why Pay More for Less?

Terra cleanrooms are designed to meet a specified ISO cleanliness rating when a cleanroom is in use: with operations in progress, process machinery humming, and personnel in motion. So why pay to maintain that level of FFU performance when a production shift ends and people, the greatest source of contamination, leave the room?

With a greatly reduced contaminant load, a cleanroom at rest maintains its target ISO cleanliness standard with much less airflow, fewer air changes—and decreased power consumption. Terra’s Night Service Switch provides this cleanliness at a nominal cost, giving you immediate cost savings.

Simply select the “Night Service” Switch when you turn off the lights and go home. A separate operation circuit drops all Fan/Filter Units (FFUs) into low-energy operation mode, shaving 25% of energy costs off your power bill while maintaining uninterrupted cleanroom performance at your specified cleanliness level. With Terra's Night Service Switch, operators can save up to 7,000 kilowatt-hours per year with a return on investment in slightly over a year.*
