Always innovating building automation, EasyIO launches the much-anticipated FT-04. Nothing on the market like it, at a compact 2 x 2.4 inches, the FT-04 is a small form factor controller for many applications. Wi-Fi only, it can extend control to anything that needs connectivity, control, and monitoring.

In beta testing with EasyIO partners and customers for over a year, users provided feedback on its performance and recommendations for enhancements. Beta users reported a variety of uses for the FT-04 including:

1. Control motor start/stop and status reporting
2. Trash compactor pressure data
3. Temperature control for a heating valve
4. Inside motor starter for exhaust fan and amperage monitoring
5. Temperature and energy monitoring of an office
6. Local on/off/auto controller of a chilled water valve
7. Control of residential garage doors
8. Monitor of temperature sensors
9. Monitor/control of residential water heater
10. Standalone pump lead/lag controller
11. Control of dimming ballast
12. Refrigeration monitoring
13. Zone control networked with FW controllers

The FT-04 supports live programming and commissioning through onboard dashboards and supports BACnet IP, Sox, TCom and P2P. All models have two universal inputs. FT-04A has two analog outputs and FT-04B has one analog output and one relay output. The HTML5 web server allows you to access the controller by mobile devices or via secure, remote connectivity.

Other key features include:

• BACnet, TCom and Sox protocol
• BACnet IP Server over Wi-Fi
• EasyIO Peer to Peer Protocol, compatible with FS, FG+, FW and FT Series
• Built-in web server and HTML5 compatible
• RESTful API and other web services
• Built-in dashboard
• Wi-Fi Access Point with DHCP Server
• Station/Client for production mode 50mm

Like the EasyIO family of network control technology, the FT-04 is a fully programmable device without recurring license, engineering or maintenance fees. You can find the FT-04 through an authorized EasyIO partner.

General Information

Providing unparalleled building performance has always been our top priority. Through a single, smart device, the SE8000 Series room controllers deliver the same comfort and control functionality found in direct digital control (DDC) systems, but with added energy savings. Their simple installation provides a quick return on investment for most retrofit projects.

The SE8000 Series room controllers are easily integrated into most building management systems (BMS). It allows upscale hotels, corporate offices, and high-end retail stores to provide an exceptional customer experience. With the new IP Ready SE8000 room controller, we simplify and digitize this range, while keeping the best in class design and screen interface.

Overview

The new IP Ready SE8000 room controller provides the same remarkable benefits you come to expect with the SE8000 series, but simplifies commissioning and requires less catalogue references. The integration in the BMS systems and the connectivity with Building Insights becomes more streamlined.

Less references for the same functionalities:

• ZigBee communications are now integrated in the unit
• Relative humidity and motion detection features included on all 6 references
• Additional LUA script memory and on-board memory.

Compatible with Wi-Fi or Ethernet module providing IP connectivity

• Fast BACnet IP connection to Building Management Systems
• More flexible for installers with connectivity architecture options
• Emails for Building Managers to receive events/alarm, and threshold notifications
• Path for future services such as multi-applications
• Path for installer commissioning tool
• Path for mobile applications for building managers and occupants to monitor and control environment

Add a Wi-Fi Card to the VT8000/SE8000 and get BACnet/IP over Wi-Fi!!!

A solution that makes the VT8000 / SE8000 range even more powerful.

The VT8000/SE8000 room controllers are much more than a simple thermostat. Whether you use them on a stand-alone basis or integrate it into a BMS, the VT/SE8000 gathers and transmits data vital to your customer’s building, from temperature, CO2, and humidity through to occupancy rates and presence detection — all of which can be used to fine-tune heating, ventilation, and air conditioning for optimal efficiency. Now, thanks to the Wi-Fi card, the VT8000 and SE8000 room controllers offer additional benefits by incorporating BACnet/IP over Wi-Fi and email notifications and alerts. Whether you are a BMS expert or a mechanical contractor the Wi-Fi card will allow you to reduce installation time and cost while increasing customer satisfaction.

Easy to install and configure in just a few clicks

The Wi-Fi card’s integrated web page makes configuring your VT8000 / SE8000 fast and easy from any computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Broudy Precision is excited to offer the Johnson Controls TSX Primary Air Valve Assembly. A retrofit damper for the VariTrane or VariTrac damper assemblies, piston or plunger type.

Air Valve Assembly Features:

• Complete one piece assembly
• Butterfly damper with seals
• Controls enclosure included, controls transformer optional
• Diamond Star Air Flow Sensor, 8″ box and above
• Cost effective solution

Superior Design
The 22 gauge round air valve is the heart of variable air volume terminals. An automated manufacturing process produces damper blades to exacting specifications. The dampers are designed for low noise operation with minimal friction loss and a tight closure seal. Air valve leakage is less than 1% of rated capacity at 3″ W.G. inlet pressure.

Solid Molded Damper Shaft
The solid damper shaft is molded using a high-impact, high-strength composite material. It is designed to eliminate condensation on the extended portion that penetrates the unit casing. The shaft allows a more secure attachment to the damper actuator, since set screws adhere to this material better than metal. The high impact material gives the shaft superior impact strain resistance compared to cast metal shafts.

The damper blade is mounted on the damper shaft and connected by means of an integral molded sleeve. The shaft rotates in low friction self lubricating bearings.

The primary air valve and damper shaft meet the criteria for UL 1995, UL 723, UL 94, NFPA 90A and B, NFPA 255, and ASTM E84.

The new Series III Variable Speed Drives offer new features to better match the competition as well as bringing brand new innovations to make install and integration easier.

Competition match features:

• 2 conductor bypass with Service Switch that matches most popular ABB Eclipse configuration
• 100K short circuit current rating (SCCR) for bypass panels available as a standard product option, all VSDs are 100k amp interrupting current (AIC) with fusing
• Damper End Switch Logic now works in bypass mode
• Broken belt feature in the drive firmware eliminates the need for any additional relay logic

New Innovations:

• One-piece plastic bypass cover with very high impact resistance, reduces incidental job site damage
• Multi-color pilot light on bypass and disconnect models
• Modular construction promotes reduction in spare parts count. Replace entire sections with four screws.
• New IP20 open drive for panel mounting, which is a better option than a micro drive (maintain standard keypad)
• SA bus is built into the drive, no option card required
