How does EBTRON help FMs improve operational efficiency, save energy and ensure acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ)?

EBTRON provides airflow and psychrometric measurement solutions that offer precise data for monitoring and controlling HVAC system performance. These solutions: 

  • Provide operational HVAC insight to support Performance Indicators. 
  • Feed CMMS: Trending data could indicate a fault or operational degradation requiring maintenance. 
  • Ensure efficient operation through precise measurement and provide energy information by measuring airside energy use for EMS or IWMS. 
  • Accurately tracking intake and exhaust airflows prevents pressurization issues, which can lead to wasted energy, comfort problems, odor issues, door closure problems, and possible mold growth. 
  • Install airflow measuring devices to operating mode changes for a decrease or increase of ventilation to address external air quality threats (e.g., wildfire smoke) or indoor air quality concerns (e.g., infectious aerosols), ensuring safe and healthy indoor environments. 

What research or product innovations is Ebtron developing to help FMs succeed?

EBTRON has just released the IAQ Enforcer Smart Display Panel (SDX-1000). It operates on a stand-alone network, connecting up to 16 compatible devices. It allows multiple airflow and psychrometric measuring devices to be configured and displayed at a single location. It can function parallel to the building automation system (BAS) while providing more data and information than is typically acquired by the BAS. It enables quick visual identification of any operation concerns. 

The stand-alone network supports auto-discovery and setup of all connected devices at powerup, requiring no experience from the installer or user. For enhanced security, the SDX-1000 supports password-protected administrative and user privileges. The SDX provides crucial information to optimize ventilation performance and maintain comfortable conditions for occupants. 

It has pre-installed applications, including Live Display, Device Configuration, Device Summary, and the EB-Link Reader. Updates and new applications to enhance functionality are continuously developed. 

Why should FMs choose EBTRON?

Technology - EBTRON's thermal dispersion technology is the only one that utilizes oven-aged high-performance bead-in-glass thermistors, individually calibrated to NIST traceable standards, ensuring long-term, drift-free, and accurate performance. Each sensing node measures temperature and velocity independently, with velocity-weighted temperature values, providing industry-leading measurement accuracy. 

An onboard barometric sensor and optional ruggedized relative humidity (RH) sensor provide precise relative humidity, enthalpy, and dewpoint calculations. Various communication cards enhance data-driven decision-making and trend identification. Available on select models, the EB-Link Bluetooth App provides quick local validation and system insights without accessing the BAS. 

Technical application support, on-site or off-site training seminars, and EBTRON employees answer every call. With over 40 years of expertise, EBTRON is a globally recognized leader in airflow measurement solutions. Our products are backed by an experienced application team ready to provide solutions tailored to your needs and a technical support team for the product's life.
