Sertus Pod™ Original

Yes, our Pods™ are designed to activate the standby fan based on current monitoring of the duty fan, not through a pressure sensor. 

This topic has generated various opinions. While the SCA guide suggests running the fan at 100% on DOL, we believe this approach is outdated, especially with the availability of inverter control and advanced monitoring systems. Allowing fans to run unchecked could lead to overheating and potential fire risks. Our solution offers a compromise: if the standby fan loses communication, it will continue to operate according to the last command received. This means if the fan was in boost mode, it will remain in boost; if it was in Manual Override (MOE), it will stay in that mode; and if it was turned off, it will remain off, all while utilising the inverter instead of DOL. 

We sell the Pod™ as a complete unit; however, customers have the flexibility to modify it on-site if they prefer to have the fan and control panel remote from each other. It is important to ensure that if the control panel is mounted remotely, it should be located in the same fire zone as the fans, especially if an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is involved. 

Yes, we can install a podded coned attenuator inside a standard frame, which offers improved noise absorption. Please note that this option may incur additional costs, and we might need to upgrade the Pod™ to compensate for the loss of airflow. This solution is ideal for meeting stringent acoustic standards. 

Yes, the electrical figures listed in the technical data sheet are already based on a three-phase configuration.
