CP980 Velocitrol Velocity Sensor/Controller
An ultra-sensitive air velocity sensor and pneumatic controller, 
control pneumatic damper actuators in heating and air 
conditioning systems to provide constant air velocity in the duct 
regardless of the static pressure.
• State-of-the-art design provides reliable operation. 
• Not position sensitive. 
• Direct Acting (DA) and Reverse Acting (RA) models are available. 
• Insensitive to static pressure changes. 
• Accurate control throughout entire velocity range. 
• Graduated scales for minimum and maximum velocity adjustments. 
• Velocity reset by thermostat demand. 
• Adaptable to many terminal unit control strategies.
