The MAC12 constant pressure regulator is used with fans with EC/FC motors. For single-phase motors, MAC12 is used together with add-on module MPR4 or MPR8.

Constant pressure regulator, MAC12
MAC12 controls the start/stop of the fan and maintains the desired pressure. MAC12 can be placed wherever it is most practical - in the technical room or near the fan with a signal to the technical room. MAC12 is supplied as standard with an XTP sensor.
MAC12 can regulate the fan in three different ways:
1. Two preset pressures
MAC12 allows for two preset pressures (high/low), so that ventilation can be adapted to the needs in the system's operating area. The high and low pressures are selected and set individually in the constant pressure regulator via the very simple menu.
Alarm function
MAC12 has a built-in alarm function that is activated and displayed on the screen when the desired pressure is not maintained. There is also a potential-free contact for an external alarm.
In MAC12, the pressure deviation and the duration of the deviation that will trigger the alarm are set. The constant pressure regulator continues to operate during the alarm and will still try to maintain the desired pressure. MAC12 can be connected to a thermal fuse in the fan motor or an alarm signal from the frequency converter. Any alarm on that input is forwarded and the fan stops.
2. External start/stop
MAC12 also has the possibility of external start/stop.
3. Override
MAC12 allows for override to an independent pressure level or max. air volume.
Control of multiple channel systems
MAC12 can control up to 5 parallel single-channel systems. This requires the system to be built exclusively via the modbus interface, so that a correct link between the different pressure sensors and the associated fans can be ensured. Each system is considered an independent system, with its own operating points and control parameters. In this context, an MXTP pressure sensor must be used.
External communication
MAC12 is equipped with a modbus interface for external connection to, for example, BMS/CTS systems. Via the connection, it is possible to read the operating status and make changes to all operating parameters.
