Wi-Stat IIIp-S is the first 100% programmable digital pneumatic thermostat on the market which allows occupancy scheduling without an energy management solution. It is designed for easy retrofit to existing 2 pipe pneumatic HVAC infrastructures without disruptive and expensive rewiring. Wi-Stat IIIp-S replaces existing manual thermostats and provides the ability to program Weekday/Weekend occupancy schedules. Users will also be able to control the Set Point and Set Back temperatures and configure all pneumatic settings such as action direction, set point and set back pressure values, and gain and throttling range. In addition to Wi-Stat IIIp-S standalone control capabilities, it can easily be converted to Millennial Net’s wireless MeshScape DDC device which utilizes the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and 2.4 GHz radio band. Wi-Stat IIIp-S is equipped with the wireless radio module. Therefore, once a certain number of stand-alone thermostats are installed a wireless network can be activated by pushing few buttons on the thermostat.

Chipkin Automation Systems Inc. has recently developed its new software named CAS BACnet Object Monitor to the automation world.

It is a Windows-based software for the automation engineers to test and monitor the connections to BACnet IP devices easily. CAS BACnet Object Monitor is simple to use. A user can configure BACnet data points either manually through a configuration screen or by importing a configuration file. The user can then view connection and status details of the configure points on the status screen. Some requirements are needed for the application to run successfully.
• The computer that the application is installed on must be on the same subnet as the BACnet IP device to be monitored or tested.
• The BACnet IP device being monitored or tested must have objects of types: analog input/output/value, binary input/output/value, or multi-state input/output/value.
The Trial Version limits the user to monitor a maximum of 3 BACnet objects.

With the addition of your preferred CO2 transmitter, the VT7600E is a cost-effective pre-programmed solution that is capable of controlling an RTU economizer for free cooling and IAQ demand-based ventilation strategy while providing a fresh air measurement input right out of the box. Primarily designed for use in small to midsized commercial building applications such as office buildings or schools, the Viconics IAQ Controller can be installed in any other building type currently using a standard packaged rooftop or heat pump unit with a requirement for fresh air control and CO2.

Two position On/Off electronic room thermostat with digital display and digital key set point. Suitable for controlling heating or cooling valves, fans or other two position devices to maintain an accurate room temperature. Selectable Celsius or Fahrenheit scale by jumper J1. External heating/cooling changeover thermostat or wire jumper can be connected to terminals 4 and 5 to select heating or cooling mode. Economy mode can be implemented by grounding terminal 6 or connecting a contact across terminal 6 and 7. The hand icon will be displayed. Pressing the hand button for 3 seconds will override to a regular mode for a 2 hour period. Optional external 10K NTC type 3 temperature sensor can be connected to terminal 8 and 9 and selected by jumper J2. Full or limited set point adjustment can be set with jumper J3. If using the thermostats for DX cooling an extended delay can be selected with jumper J4.

Reliable Controls End-Of-Line Terminator

Reliable Controls® is pleased to announce a new product called the “End Of Line Terminator”. Many third-party BACnet® integrations require a connection to Reliable Controls® MS/TP devices, and it has become increasingly evident that many of these third-party devices do not come with built-in end-of-line terminators. As a result, these third-party devices sometimes function as the physical end; but have no means to terminate.

After listening to its Authorized Dealer network, Reliable Controls® has created a solution to this growing problem. The Reliable Controls® End- Of-Line (EOL) Terminator provides the ability to properly terminate EIA-485 twisted pair networks. The EOL has 24VAC input power and is a biased terminator similar to those found on all of Reliable Controls® controllers. The device has a red power LED to indicate the device is powered correctly and comes with convenient mounting screws and removable 5mm rising cage terminal blocks.

PA-500 – Low Cost Multi-Range Air DP Sensor from Sontay

Our new PA-500 Air DP Sensor offers affordable measurement of differential pressure of air and other neutral gases. Its user selectable parameters give complete flexibility to the installer as the power supply and pressure ranges are all determined by the placement of a dip switch. The low cost of this product opens up the use of Air DP sensors into filter monitoring applications. Traditionally an Air DP switch would be used to give indication of a blocked filter on breakdown. The PA-500 offers constant monitoring of the filter so that breakdowns can be prevented.
