Specifications on this page are taken from the Prolon Zone Controller datasheet, REV 7.3.0 / PL-DATA-C1050VAV-C/F-EN, and the Prolon VAV Zone Controller Hardware Guide, REV 7.3.2 / PL-HRDW-VAV-C1050-C/F-EN.
The PL-C1050-VAV-PI is the C1050 zone controller supplied with the air flow sensor, which is ordered separately on the base PL-C1050-VAV. With the sensor in place the zone controls to an airflow setpoint, so zone delivery holds as duct static changes elsewhere in the system.
Everything else matches the base zone controller: outboard floating or modulating actuators, four triac outputs, one 0-10 VDC analog output, and configurable sequences for radiant floor and duct heater.
The network port is configurable for Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP over RS485, with a second RS485 port for a digital room sensor or computer interface.
Best For
- Variable air volume zones controlled to an airflow setpoint
- Zoning using outboard floating or modulating damper actuators
- Zones with a radiant floor or duct heater sequence
Key Features
Pressure independent control
Supplied with the air flow sensor that is ordered separately on the base PL-C1050-VAV, so the zone controls to an airflow setpoint.
Flow sensor 0-2 inch WC (0-500 Pa)
The installed sensor reads 0-2 inch WC (0-500 Pa), roughly 0-3500 ft/min depending on the flow cross used.
Identical control platform to the base VAV
Same four triac outputs, 0-10 VDC analog output, dual RS485 ports and sequence set as the PL-C1050-VAV.
Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP
The network port is configurable for Modbus RTU (RS485) or BACnet MS/TP (RS485), up to 127 nodes, with a second RS485 port for a digital sensor or computer interface.
Outboard floating or modulating actuators
Designed to use single or multiple outboard damper actuators, floating or modulating.
Configure from the wall sensor
Monitoring and configuration can be done from a digital room sensor, as well as locally or remotely in Prolon Focus.
