Do you need a fume hood safety monitor to continuously track air velocity in fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, or exhaust systems?
Fume Hood Safety Monitor
Degree Controls’ Rooster airflow alarms and monitors provide continuous air velocity monitoring and immediately alert users when airflow conditions fall outside safe operating limits. Designed for chemical fume hoods, biosafety cabinets (BSCs), containment enclosures, and laboratory exhaust systems, Rooster™ helps protect people, products, and critical processes by ensuring proper airflow performance.
The Rooster fume hood airflow monitor supports compliance with ANSI/AIHA Z9.5, NFPA 45, and current OSHA laboratory safety requirements for airflow monitoring and alarming in new and modified fume hood installations. Continuous airflow measurement helps verify that containment systems are operating as intended and provides early warning of potentially unsafe conditions.
Degree Controls offers multiple sensor configurations to meet a variety of laboratory and containment applications, including sidewall, probe, and inline airflow sensors.
The Rooster Fume Hood Airflow Monitor with Sidewall Sensor is ideal for monitoring fume hood face velocity and airflow within negatively pressurized cabinets. The sidewall sensor operates as a flow-through air velocity sensor, drawing in clean ambient air rather than contaminated exhaust air to accurately measure airflow performance.
For continuous monitoring of exhaust systems, the Rooster airflow monitor with a probe-style sensor installs directly in the exhaust duct to provide real-time exhaust air velocity measurements. This configuration is particularly useful for laboratory exhaust systems and applications where direct duct monitoring is required.
Key Features of Rooster Fume Hood Airflow Monitors
- Visual, audible, and remote alarms to notify users of unsafe airflow conditions
- Configurable alarm thresholds, volumes, and behaviors through a glove-friendly color touchscreen display
- Built-in temperature compensation for accurate airflow measurements across a wide operating temperature range
- Quick installation and simple operation for new and existing laboratory environments
- Continuous airflow monitoring for enhanced laboratory safety and regulatory compliance
Equip your laboratories with Rooster fume hood airflow monitors to ensure fume hood airflow is adequate for capture, containment, and removal of airborne hazards. See the Airflow Alarms & Monitors section of our website for a complete description of Rooster fume hood airflow alarms and fume hood airflow monitors.
Sensor Options
The Sidewall sensor is designed to be mounted to the exterior surface of a cabinet, and can be used with the supplied ducting to create an airflow path from the front face to the inside face of a cabinet.
The Probe sensor is designed for use in exhaust flows of Class II A or B duct systems.
The Inline sensor is designed for retrofit of failed legacy products or those which are no longer accurate enough for new standards. The Inline sensor is generally mounted inside a cabinet plenum area which increases the tamper-resistance of the sensor element.
A Quickstart Guide and User Manual is available for all Rooster airflow alarms and monitors.
