Acorn BASyC® Digital System with Multiple Master Mixing Valves

Acorn BASyC® digital mixing valve and monitoring system is ideal for any facility’s recirculating domestic hot water system where optimal bather safety is desired. It provides distributed control and monitoring of Acorn Controls® MV17 mixing valves and a wide variety of temperature, pressure, and flow sensors.

Key Benefits

• Reduces energy consumption by 50%
• Prevents scalding, burns, and thermal shock
• Inhibits Legionella
• Balances erratic water temperatures
• Provides safe and comfortable water temperature in showers, tubs, sinks, and emergency equipment

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

Features

• Acorn ConTrols® Electronically Actuated Thermostatic Mixing Valve and Multi-Valve Assemblies.
• Able to control any combination of up to (4) MV17 mixing valves in one or two separate temperature loops.
• Valves certified by IAPMO to ASSE 1017 standards with Hi/Low performance.
• Maintains thermostatic control of set point during power, temperature probe, valve or actuator failure.
• Provides Redundant Control.
• Honeywell/Niagara hardware/software.
• The industry standard in building automation.
• Non-proprietary platform.
• 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 the facility's Ethernet.
• Expandable.
• 18 (10 digital, 8 analog) 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).
