Advantage Digital Square VAV Diffuser (ADV)

The Acutherm ADV Advantage series is a digital VAV diffuser that combines precise electronic control with high-induction air distribution. A built-in room temperature sensor, microprocessor controller, and low-voltage motor continuously modulate airflow to maintain space setpoint while delivering excellent comfort, quiet performance, and energy efficiency.
Description
Product Model ADV — Advantage Digital VAV Diffuser
- Model: ADV — Digital square plaque VAV diffuser
- Size: 24″ (600 mm) square face
- Inlet Sizes: 6″, 8″, 10″, and 12″ round
- Construction: Steel diffuser with powder-coat finish, aerodynamic damper, and integrated control panel
Key Features
- Individual comfort and control for each zone or workstation.
- Excellent air performance — high induction and consistent throw across the modulation range.
- PI (Proportional + Integral) control logic eliminates hunting and overshoot for stable temperature control.
- Suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects replacing conventional diffusers.
Control Options
- Wall-Mounted Thermostats: Multiple options from simple sensor-only to full LCD with occupancy or CO₂ sensing.
- Drone Units: “Drone” diffusers track a single master ADV, matching damper position (up to five drones per master).
- Auxiliary Heat Control: 24 VAC output for baseboards, radiant panels, or other terminal heating.
- BACnet Interface Option: Optional BACnet network interface for integration with a central BAS.
Accessories
- APM – Advantage Power Module: Central 24 VAC power source for multiple ADV units.
- ARC – Advantage Pressure Relief Collar: Collar-mounted bypass device for excess inlet static pressure.
- PIM – Pressure Independence Module: For maintaining accurate flow under varying upstream static.
- DMS – Diffuser Measuring Station: Collar-mounted airflow sensor for CFM measurement and BAS reporting.
