Durable Construction
Engineered to withstand harsh laboratory and industrial conditions.
Smart Motor Control
12VDC motor controller with selectable direction and integrated position feedback.
Compliant Operation
Maintains consistent face and discharge velocities, as required by AS 2243.8:2014.
Precision Positioning
0–10VDC analog input and output for accurate real-time control and feedback.
Low Maintenance
Six-month visual inspection and sensor cleaning—no complex servicing.
Why Choose The Damper Valve?
​
Whether you’re managing a professional laboratory or research facility, retrofitting an HVAC system, or improving a fume cupboard, poor airflow control can mean:
-
Unnecessary energy waste from constant full-speed fan operation
-
Excessive and disruptive noise
-
Non-compliance with safety and environmental standards
-
Mechanical wear driven by constant fan speeds
-
Inconsistent air flow impacting safety and production quality
​​
The FCMV-12-A Damper Valve solves all this – automatically.
Whether you’re upgrading a single fume hood or retrofitting a full lab ventilation system, the FCMV-12-A Damper Valve improves performance from day one.
Stability & Performance
With high-resolution velocity and pressure sensing, the FCMV-12-A ensures stable airflow delivery - critical for repeatable experiments, and sensitive manufacturing processes.
Energy Efficiency
With 0–10VDC modulation and integration with Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), the Damper Valve adjusts airflow in real-time. In practice, facilities can achieve up to 70% in ventilation energy use, particularly in lab environments where airflow needs fluctuate throughout the day.
Long-Term ROI
From lower utility costs to reduced mechanical wear and tear on fans and ducts, the FCMV-12-A delivers measurable financial benefits.
Intelligent Airflow
Maintains safe containment of hazardous fumes, responds automatically to airflow disruptions, and minimizes risk by preventing backflow or under-ventilated zones.
Quieter Operation
By regulating airflow based on demand, the system’s smart airflow control lets fans run slower when full capacity isn't needed. This significantly reduced noise levels at the fume cupboard face and throughout the duct network.
Improved Safety
Engineered to last, with diagnostic features, and jam detection. Fully supports Australian Standard AS 2243.8:2014 with constant face velocity and alarms for airflow deviations, helping meet OHS and lab safety requirements.
Integrated System Monitoring
​
The FCMV-12-A Damper Valve integrates fully with Intelec’s Odyssey Control System, providing:
​
-
Real-time airflow visualisation
-
Customisable alarms for low velocity or loss of airflow
-
Continuous self-diagnostics to identify issues before they become faults
-
0–10VDC references for both valve position and fan speed control
Together, this creates a complete and responsive airflow ecosystem that adjusts dynamically to operational conditions to ensure consistent performance and safety.
