  • Publication number: 20140203090
    Abstract: A wireless damper control and test system comprising a wireless controller for communicating with a wireless interface using an identifier whereby actuation timing of a damper actuator is transmitted by signal, the wireless interface connected to a damper to be controlled or tested using the transmitted signal, the wireless controller transmits the signals to the wireless interface for operational verification of the damper and damper actuator, and the wireless interface detects a damper state by contacts mounted on the damper and communicates the damper state to the wireless controller.

  • Publication number: 20130252537
    Abstract: A control system, comprising one or more smoke sensors, each configured to measure a level of smoke at a location within a building and to output a smoke level signal based at least in part upon the measured level of smoke. A controller configured to receive the smoke level signals and to control an operation of one or more energy recovery ventilation systems in a first mode of operation to recover energy when the smoke level signal is below a predetermined value and in a second mode of operation to evacuate smoke when the smoke level signal is above the predetermined value.

  • Publication number: 20120100797
    Abstract: A remote zone balancing damper and air flow sensor system comprising a differential pressure air flow sensor, a damper having an actuator, a remote terminal connected to the air flow sensor and the actuator, the remote terminal disposed a predetermined distance from the duct, the air flow sensor and damper mounted in a duct, and a detachable controller that is connectable to the remote terminal, the detachable controller configured to receive a signal from the remote terminal and to provide power to the actuator and thereby position the damper according to the calculated air flow.
