Acorn BASyC® with Emergency Tempering Valve

Acorn BASyC® is ideal for any facility’s recirculating emergency tempering water system where optimal user safety is desired. It provides distributed control and monitoring of Acorn ConTrols® ET71 tempered water mixing valve and a wide variety of temperature, pressure, and flow sensors.

Utilizing Niagara software, the Acorn BASyC® can aggregate information (real-time data, history, alarms, etc.) from various sensors. Acorn BASyC® can connect to a facility’s local area network and/or the existing BAS via industry-standard network protocols.

Key Benefits

• A digital mixing valve system that provides round-the-clock monitoring and adjustment capability to a Command Station® supply fixture
• Regulate up to four mixing valves and two loops with one controller (e.g. hot water for sinks and tepid water for emergencydrench equipment)
• Non-proprietary electronics interface with any building management software system
• Sanitation override option - raise temperature to kill bacteria
• Redundant system - in case of power outage or system failure, valves continue to function mechanically

Features

• Acorn ConTrols® Electronically Actuated Emergency Thermostatic Tempering Valve.
• Able to control ET71-2, ET71-3 or ET71-4 in a single separate temperature loop.
• Valves certified by IAPMO to ASSE 1071 standards.
• Honeywell/Niagara hardware/software.
• The industry standard in building automation.
• Estimated flow and energy usage; no need for a costly flow meter.
• Plug and play makes start-up quick and simple.
• Acorn ConTrols® unique control algorithm and system Design provide control that exceeds the requirements of ASSE 1017.
• Effectively shuts off hot or cold water during supply failure.
• Alarms and Alerts with relay outputs and e-mail notifications if connected to Ethernet facilities.
• Expandable.
• 18 (10 digital, 8 analogs) programmable outputs to drive a wide variety of devices.
• 16 universal inputs will accept a wide variety of input sensors.
• Up to 100 data points.
• Programmable/automated sanitization mode helps to minimize a facility's Legionella risks and when combined with Acorn ConTrols® valves, simplifies the process.
• Sensors and control devices are labeled and keyed to eliminate potential mistakes.
• Water-tight connectors improve sensor and control device reliability and make replacements easier.
• Primary Ethernet Adapter allows connection to Acorn BASyC® via the facilities LAN.
• The secondary Ethernet Adapter is independent of the primary LAN or BAS and is reserved for the support of the Acorn BASyC® system.
• Password protection allows levels of secure access.
• Sanitization includes a 'safe start' feature that automatically goes back to the previous setting upon completion.
• Sanitization screen logs times and temperatures for a record of the process with e-mail acknowledgment.
• History retention for data points allows customizable reports that can be saved and/or exported.
• Each controller is able to communicate via two separate RS-485 networks with no external gateway.
• Numerous RS-485 communication protocols are available (BACnet, Modbus or user-specified).
