  • Patent number: 11168919
    Abstract: A removable circuit card assembly configured to be inserted into an HVAC device is provided. The removable circuit card assembly includes a printed wiring board, an enclosure cap coupled to the printed wiring board, and a dual in-line package (DIP) switch component coupled to the printed wiring board. The DIP switch component includes multiple DIP switches. Each of the DIP switches is configured to be actuated between a first position and a second position.

  • Publication number: 20210325228
    Abstract: A flow meter control assembly including a housing. The flow meter control assembly further includes a user interface disposed in the housing. The user interface includes an input device configured to receive a configuration parameter from a user and a display configured to display the configuration parameter. The flow meter control assembly further includes a processing circuit disposed within the housing and coupled to the user interface, the processing circuit configured to update a control program of at least one of the flow meter control assembly and an actuator coupled to the flow meter control assembly based on the configuration parameter.

  • Patent number: 10571304
    Abstract: An actuator in a HVAC system includes an inductive sensor, a conductive target, and a controller. The conductive target has multiple different portions that become aligned with the inductive sensor as a position of the actuator changes. Each of the multiple different portions have a different inductance. The controller receives a signal from the inductive sensor indicating an observed inductance of the portion of the conductive target aligned with the inductive sensor. The controller uses a stored relationship between the observed inductance and the position of the actuator to determine the position of the actuator based on the observed inductance. The controller operates the actuator to change the position of the actuator based on the determined position.
