Johnson Controls, the pioneer for smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings, announced the launch of the NSW8000 Series Wireless Network Sensor for Metasys building automation systems (BAS) and FX series programmable controllers.
This innovative multisensor offers a seamless and cost-effective solution for real-time monitoring of temperature, relative humidity (RH), and occupancy (PIR) detection with optional CO2 sensing for improved air quality monitoring.
Integration of building sensors
The full integration of building sensors and controls is a key pillar in a commercial building
The full integration of building sensors and controls is a key pillar in a commercial building’s digitalization, where intelligence is delivered to the BAS, leading to improved operations, costs, and efficiency.
The NSW8000 provides a versatile, convenient network sensor that gives facility teams a fuller picture of what’s happening with their space and equipment.
Metasys systems and FX series controllers
“From facility managers to HVAC technicians to automation specialists, our customers need solutions that help them optimize operational efficiency, maximize energy savings and enhance occupant comfort,” said Kaishi Zhang, Vice President of Global Product Management, Building Automation Systems and Controls at Johnson Controls.
“Paired with our Metasys systems and FX series controllers, the NSW8000 provides maximum versatility and control, empowering our customers to unlock the full potential of their buildings as strategic assets.”
Advanced engineering and design features
The NSW8000 boasts advanced engineering and design features that ensure future upgrades, minimize installation impact, and provide flexible, user-friendly options.
- Reliable Connectivity: Runs on a wireless mesh network with multiple sources of connectivity to help ensure reliability and uptime.
- Excellent Range: Provides up to 150 feet of coverage, offering excellent range for a battery-powered unit while providing more reliable control in structures that require wireless installations.
- Secure Data Transmission: Guarantees secure data transmission with AES-128-bit encryption.
- Future Ready: Engineered for future upgrades, allowing facility managers to access the latest features as product technology and wireless networks evolve for even greater long-term performance and value.
- Minimal Maintenance: Powered by two readily available lithium or alkaline AA batteries for minimal maintenance. Most NSW8000 sensors have a 10-year battery life, while CO2 sensors offer a 5-year battery life. In addition, battery-powered operation makes installation easier and less costly, since technicians do not need to pull wires or conduit.
- Architectural Preservation: The NSW8000 wireless construction minimizes installation impact on architectural details, decorative surfaces and other sensitive structures such as museums or historic buildings.
- Enhanced Display: Three display options are available to optimize flexibility, comfort, and control.
Wide selection of network sensors
Johnson Controls provides a wide selection of network and non-network sensors designed for efficiency and easy installation.
The company’s offerings include humidity, HVAC temperature, pressure, carbon dioxide and occupancy sensors, engineered to integrate seamlessly with various systems to meet facility needs.
