iQ Operation System

Another world class, innovative solution from The World Leader in Fume Extraction Technology.

The new and revolutionary iQ Operating System performs at two distinct levels. Whilst operators benefit from the ease of operation and clarity of real time information, the system also provides a cache of analytical data enabling users to download performance and operating parameters for evaluation purposes.

Take a look at our new animation, which explains exactly why the BOFA iQ Operating System provides unrivalled control and data management for your fume extraction unit.

Display Screen

The Black on White high quality, high contrast LCD screen displays a series of visual real-time performance and operational values in a clear and simple format.

Airflow reading

Displays a constant real time reading of the actual airflow.
The display value can be adjusted by the end user and viewed in either M3/h or CFM.

Airflow set point

Enables the installer to set the air flow rate to a known target value. The iOS will then automatically increase or decrease the fan speed to maintain this target airflow throughout the life of the filters. The display value can be adjusted by the end user and viewed in either M3/h or CFM.

Pre-filter condition monitoring

A representative status ‘box’ icon of the pre filter is displayed. The icon fills in parallel with the filter becoming blocked, giving the operator a real time indication on the status of the pre filter.

Combined (main) filter condition monitoring

A representative status ‘box’ icon of the main filter is displayed. The icon fills in parallel with the filter becoming blocked, giving the operator a real time indication on the status of the main filter.

Temperature monitoring

The visual display indicates the temperature within the motor housing. The display value can be adjusted by the end user and viewed in either deg C or deg F values.

Run Hours

A visual counter displays the actual run hours of the motor ensuring meaningful data analysis can be undertaken.

Extraction Running

The fan icon will rotate when the motor is running, indicating that the unit is operating correctly.

Warnings & Alarm conditions

The iOS provides a series of visual, audible and electrical outputs to ensure that all events are clearly communicated and that timely and appropriate intervention can be undertaken to maximise production uptime.

Filter Status warning

The 100% alarm indicates that the filter is blocked and requires changing. An audible warning will sound and the representative filter status ‘box’ on the display will confirm which filter should be replaced. A signal output can be sent to the host.

Hose blocked warning

The Hose blocked icon appears when a blockage occurs within the installation pipe work. A signal output can be sent to the host machine.

Unit Failure Alarm

In the event of a major system failure all alarm icons will flash and an audible alarm will sound. A signal output can be sent to the host machine.

Door Open Alarm

If the extractor door is not closed correctly the door open icon will be displayed and an audible alarm will sound. A signal output can be sent to the host machine.

Remote diagnostics via USB connection

The run hours based event log provides easy access to a series of key performance metrics, enabling simple performance analysis and fast identification of likely fault and corrective action to minimise down time.

“Black Box” event log

In the event of a catastrophic failure the activity log and set up parameters can be retrieved via the mini USB connection. Data can then be used to support a re-install and failure investigation.

Remote Configuration

Factory set values can be adjusted to end user specifications.

Performance Graphs

The performance data can be imported into a spreadsheet and graphs produced to support evaluation and reporting.
