Industrial Intelliswitch Enables BACnet and Digital Controls for Air Curtains

March 16, 2023

 

The Industrial Intelliswitch is a digital controller platform that enables building managers to control and monitor air curtains individually or in groups via additional options such as the Berner AIR smart controller/app and BACnet. 

 

The (H x W x D) 12 x 12 x 6-in. (304 x 304 x 152 mm) control panel can be installed remotely or factory-installed on the unit. The 3.2 x 9.7-in. (80 x 246 mm) display can be located remotely from unit-mounted control panels.

 

The Intelliswitch, which is standard on all Berner Architectural air curtains, was adapted for industrial air curtains to offer building managers flexibility in operations with a built-in time delay, preset programs, 7-day scheduling, a temperature probe, low voltage circuit for unit activation via door switch or BMS. Users can program, operate, and monitor the air curtains through either a building management system using the BACnet-IP protocol, or a smartphone. The Berner AIR app also enables grouping, making it simpler and faster to program many air curtains across multiple locations.
