NO IN-FIELD CALIBRATION OR GAS TEST

American Ventilation Control Systems (AVCS) offers COSTAR® 24VC-E ventilation control solution that monitors unsafe levels of CO in your parking garage to protect the health and well being of your building’s occupants. While proper ventilation is essential for elimination of CO, continuously running ventilation systems increase your energy usage, resulting in higher costs. 

The COSTAR® 24VC-E lowers operating costs by activating the fan only when required to maintain good air quality while enhancing safety by alarming if dangerous CO conditions are detected. It helps to greatly extend the life of fans. In fact, in many cases, installation of COSTAR® 24VC-E CO monitoring and ventilation system can generate up to 85% savings in energy costs.

COSTAR® 24VC-E carbon monoxide detecting ventilation fan controller is designed for use where ventilation fans are needed to prevent dangerous accumulations of carbon monoxide (CO) from engine exhaust or combustion appliances. The COSTAR® 24VC-E features an electrochemical sensor and a microcomputer-based CO detection circuit. The microcomputer provides overall supervisory control. It measures CO level and calculates CO dose. It also self-tests the internal electronic circuit and signals a fault warning if a malfunction is detected. 

The CO sensing element is replaceable every 3 years. Each individual sensor is factory calibrated; no field adjustments are necessary or possible except for sensor replacement. A signal indicating sensor replacement is given when necessary. There is a 12 Year PC board end-of-life.

Although only required for systems that are connected to a central panel these units have in field CO test capability. When the test button is pressed, the unit goes into an accelerated test mode for about 10 minutes and will beep 3 short 100 millisecond beeps once before going into the test mode.  In this mode, there are no delays associated with the fans or siren.  This allows someone to spray some CO on the sensor and see how it responds.  After testing the unit returns to normal operation and will beep 2 short 100 millisecond beeps before returning to normal operation.
