MACH-Air

VAV Controller

Quick Start Guide

Ideal for low-point VAV applications

 where unrestricted programming

and full data acquisition are

 required.

Can be networked on the main

or subnetwork, rendering easy

communication with the full line of

Reliable Controls™

products.

Three user configurable universal

or triac inputs and outputs;

Onboard velocity sensor and

relocatable damper actuator;

Flash EEPROM;

SMART-Sensors™ support.

Communication ports include

SMART-Net™ and

EIA-485 Network.

The MACH-Air™ is a

 high-performance,

fully programmable

DDC controller

designed to meet the

needs of Variable Air

Volume control within

the Reliable Controls™

MACH-System.
