Choose the Rooster™ to best fit your needs!
What is it?
- Rooster is an airflow or pressure monitor with alarm.
- It continuously measures airflow parameters with audible, visual, and remote alarming.
- Bringing airflow safety to critical containment applications, Rooster monitoring, alarming, and sensing solutions are compatible with a variety of standards such as ASHRAE-110, NSF-49, OSHA, and USP 797/800.
How do I choose it?
- Start by selecting airflow monitor or room pressure monitor.
- Next, decide if you want to display measured values in real time.
- Consider facility requirements. Do you want a BACnet® MS/TP capable airflow monitor to communicate with your building controller? Will advanced control features like managing venturi valves and fans, or sash position sensing, enhance your application?
Which sensor?
- While Rooster pressure monitors include a best-in-class pressure and humidity sensing module, Rooster airflow monitors have choice of sidewall or probe sensor.
- Ideal for fume hoods and negatively pressurized cabinets, the sidewall sensor measures clean laboratory air to determine face velocity.
- The probe sensor is selected for biosafety cabinets and HVAC ducts. It is supplied with a gland fitting for easy duct mounting.

Start by choosing airflow or pressure for the base model.
How do I calibrate?
- Rooster airflow monitors use a one-touch button press calibration, or a two-point calibration, depending upon the model selected.
- All pressure monitors ship pre-calibrated from Degree Controls.
