Updated Alerton VAViH Controller Features Preset DDC Applications, Honeywell Actuator, More I/O

AHR Expo 2008 - Booth #278

Redmond, WA (January 28, 2008)—Building automation systems pioneer Alerton (www.alerton.com) today announced the release of its updated VAViH-SD BACnet controller. Preset, user-configurable direct digital control (DDC) DIP switches facilitate setup by enabling users to select preinstalled DDC applications. An integrated direct-coupled, brushless Honeywell actuator offers high reliability and low maintenance. An additional binary output and an additional universal analog input with jumper increase the VAViH’s capacity and configuration options. Rotary switches make it possible to quickly set the device instance on the controller without software.

“The new VAViH is ideal for any VAV application, but using them in retrofit jobs can be an enormous opportunity because they save labor and costs by requiring users to install only one device instead of two,” said Mark Behar, Alerton’s product manager for the VAViH. “It’s also Alerton’s first BACnet controller to come pre-loaded with DDC to support common applications.”

The pre-loaded, DIP switch-selectable DDC applications provide users with five types of VAV box control. The integrated actuator is left- or right-mountable, which enables flexible mounting configurations, and is replaceable with common tools. The VAViH also features a sleek, updated design.

Alerton’s VAViH BACnet controller is available now through authorized dealers. For product ordering and technical information, contact your local Alerton dealer or call Alerton at 425.869.8400.
