VAV IP CONTROLLER

The VAV IP is a freely programmable controller designed for

pressure-independent control of any single duct Variable
Air Volume (VAV), Constant Air Volume (CAV) and Supply/
Exhaust terminal units. These controllers are ideally suited for
critical environment applications such as Laboratory Airflow
Tracking, Critical Patient Rooms, Operating Rooms, and
other applications requiring precise control of airflows.

This controller is supported by Alerton’s VisualLogic®

programming tool and the Compass 2.2.0 and above version
supervisor. The VAV IP controller has an integral damper actuator,
field replaceable airflow sensor, up to seven flexible universal
inputs/outputs (UIO), five solid state relay outputs, and a Microset
bus. The controller supports BACnet/IPv4 and BACnet/IPv6.

The integrated Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) capability enables

easy pairing with mobile apps such as BMS Startup app.

Important Note: This device is UL listed and limited to 100 VA maximum. Binary
output loads are restricted by this maximum VA rating. If all 5 SSR binary outputs are
connected and fully loaded (@24 VA each) the total VA of the device will exceed the UL
listed and limited maximum rating. DO NOT EXCEED 100 VA MAXIMUM RATING!
