Integrating into a network? Select the Veris U0 Series for easy translation of protocols.

Network integration has never been more simplified with Veris Industries products.  Veris produces Serial-to-Ethernet protocol converters for a number of applications including energy management, building automation and data center management systems.  The U0 Series, U013-0012 Modbus Gateway or either the U013-0013 and U013-0015 BACnet Routers provides access to all Veris RTU and BACnet MS/TP products respectively, over a network via their protocol.

The U013-0012 uses Modbus TCP, while the U013-0013 and U013-0015 utilizes BACnet IP.  Offering a faster operation speed of the two BACnet options, the U013-0015 (or LX model) handles more BACnet Broadcast Management Devices, or BBMDs.

(Left to Right) The Veris U013-0012, U013-0013 and U013-0015, respectively.


These 3 products execute a simple, quick network configuration and setup serial communication parameters by way of integral web browsers. They also enable translation of serial protocols to their respective network protocol, without any device-specific translation required.

The U0 devices are easy to set up, requiring no product-specific configuration and are DIN rail mount for simple installation.  And connection of multiple devices on one network drop is an added bonus.

Refer to this datasheet for more details specifications on downstream (device) interfaces, upstream (controller) ethernet interfaces, input power requirements and temperature/RH conditions for optimal operation. 

The U013-0013 and 0015 both come with a 2 year limited warranty and the U013-0012 is offered with a  5 year warranty from Veris Industries.

Also, as part of this family are the U013-0010 and -0011 input/output modules.  The -0010 supports 23 independent pulse count inputs, while the -0011 is an analog/pulse/resistance for 8 selectable inputs. Refer to their datasheet for more functionality and features.  Please note: power supplies are not included with either.  Both the Veris U013-0010 and U013-0011 come with their limited 2 year warranty. 

Veris offers 2 versions of this I/O module

Product Spotlight: The C2DOS Series CO2 Transmitters from Greystone Energy

Greystone Energy released the C2DOS Series in 2022, replacing their CDD4 series of room CO2 transmitters with optional temperature sensing.  This device employs an accurate “non-dispersive infrared” or NDIR sensor within a vented, weatherproof enclosure which monitors outside levels of Carbon Dioxide.  Using dual-wavelength optics and LTA (long-term adjustment) signal processing, this technology provides both reliability and long-term accuracy.

The C2DOS Series replaced the CDD4 Series


Having infrared technology to monitor CO2, the transmitter operates with a linear 4-20 mA or 0-5/10 Vdc signal for outputs which are field selectable.  The unit enlists a programmable CO2 measurement span, and the display features a back-lit alphanumeric LCD that includes user-friendly menu for quick set up.  Greystone produces the C2DOS with optional features, including resistive temperature sensors (NTC, Type 2 and 3, 100 Ohm Platinum, and 1000 Ohm Nickel to name a few), a control relay option with programmable setpoint, hysteresis and time delay, and a heated or unheated enclosure.

The outside carbon dioxide transmitters are 5.3” wide by 7.2” tall, and 3.5” deep.  This series includes .85” knockouts for conduit connections and can be mounted directly to building wall face using provided mounting holes.  It connects to a Building Automation System using the 3 wire configuration with screw block terminal provided.

The CD2OS series of Outside Carbon Dioxide Transmitters are backed by Greystone Energy’s standard five (5) year limited warranty.  For more information on this device see the forms at their respective links below:

Honeywell Analytics’ Sensepoint XCD Series: The Solution for Monitoring Toxic, Combustible, and Oxygen Gas Hazards.

 

The Honeywell Sensepoint XCD Series

Honeywell Analytics’ Sensepoint XCD Series transmitters offer complete gas monitoring both indoors and outdoors in potentially explosive atmospheres.  With many key features and benefits, the Sensepoint XCD stands above the competition in all phases.

FLEXIBILITY:  For ‘hard to reach’ areas, or where the transmitter must be separated from the sensor, Honeywell has designed the XCD with remote monitoring capabilities, providing the ideal solution.  The sensor can be mounted up to 100 ft (30m) away from the transmitter, enabling points of detection in areas not easily accessible. 

EASE OF USE:  These devices are self-configuring at startup.  Modifying the detector operation can be done via magnetic switches, thus no opening of unit needed.  The tri-color backlit LCD with simple status indication is user friendly.  The XCD was designed for maximum ease of use. The unit also comes with Modbus communications for remote diagnostics.

COST EFFECTIVE:  Honeywell’s Sensepoint XCD series reduces costs by minimizing the training required to operate, enabling a plug-in sensor replacement system, and that every model already includes all necessary accessories.

ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION:  Sensepoint XCD offers flammable (catalytic or infrared), toxic, and oxygen versions.  Housing options include explosion-proof stainless steel or aluminum.  Applications served include new or retrofit, indoor or outdoor. 

The complete Sensepoint XCD from Honeywell Analytics is available now at E-Controls.net, your online source for building automation supplies.  We offer a wide selection of building peripheral devices for gas detection and IAQ monitoring.  Complimentary UPS Ground shipping provided on orders over $100.  Visit E-Controls.net today!

Setra Lite™ Series Makes Monitoring Room Pressure Simple!


The Setra Lite™ Series

Introducing the easiest, most basic room pressure visual monitor that will find out there!  Setra Systems has developed this simplified solution with their new LITE series; green means “good to go” and red indicates an alarm.

The bright light ring on the monitor is clearly visible from a distance and varying angles.  The pressure value on the digital display allows for always-on or momentary indication, and a Positive or Negative room mode.  

It's as basic as it gets with the status and alarm indications.


Designed to install neatly within a single gang electric box, the Lite provides a visual representation of the pressure by way of Setra’s capacitive pressure sensor.  The Lite canalso integrate with your building management system via an analog output for pressure signaling.  It also includes connectivity to the Setra FLEX™ Environmental Room Monitor.  Most notably, the Lite was designed to replace the previously burdensome “ball/tube through wall” pressure indicators.

Typical applications for the Setra Lite include sterile processing and storage, laundry services, hospital room monitoring and infectious control. 

The unit can be configured for 7 different transducer ranges and boasts and accuracy of +/- 0.5%.  It is now available at E-Controls.net, where we offer complimentary UPS Ground Shipping on qualifying orders. E-Controls.net, your online source for building automation supplies.

Belimo Air Controls: Complying with ASHRAE guidelines for IAQ during COVID-19

ASHRAE’s (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) Epidemic Task Force created a checklist to assist facility managers in improving their indoor air quality (IAQ).  The goal is to slow the transmission of viruses through HVAC systems.  In reviewing these guidelines, Belimo has devised a checklist to evaluate the operations of field devices in these systems. 



Belimo Air Controls

  • believes in creating safe and reliable HVAC systems, utilizing their lines of sensors, valves and actuators. 
  • recommends replacing faulty sensors or re-calibrating them to ensure control over humidity, temperature, building pressure and air quality 
  • encourages building owners to improve occupant safety, comfort and productivity, by evaluating their systems and enacting strategies to increase ventilation, improve filtration, and air cleaning.

It can be challenging to maintain proper air system performance in buildings like schools, hospitals and commercial buildings.  Belimo produces actuators, valves and sensors that create reliable HVAC systems.  They also offer convenient replacements and a wealth of retrofit solutions compatible with many control systems.  Belimo’s products are designed to maximize your system’s performance while meeting UL standards as well as these new ASHRAE requirements.  To see ASHRAE’s Epidemic Task Force’s Building Readiness/COVID-19 guidelines, click this link.
