TA-Smart-Dp Fail-safe

2-way Smart electronic differential pressure controller with flow, temperature and power measurement capabilities and electronic fail-safe function

The TA-Smart-Dp Fail-safe combines ultrasonic flow measurement with advanced actuation algorithms for top-tier control performance. Designed to maintain stable differential pressure, it enhances control valve authority, reduces noise, and simplifies balancing. In case of a power outage, the valve moves to a safety position, ensuring high system uptime. With flow or power control options, it offers flexibility for heating and cooling applications. Its compact design and easy setup minimize installation and commissioning time.
