Specifications sourced from Prolon datasheet PL-DATA-M2000RTU-C/F-EN, REV 7.3.1. Verified September 18, 2026.
Overview
The M2000 RTU controls rooftop units and air treatment equipment, and acts as a master controller on a Prolon network. Sequences include economizer, preheating, CO2 levels, dehumidification, and static pressure control. It stages up to 3 stages of heating and 2 stages of cooling, expanding to 8 cooling stages once coupled with a FLX controller. The FlexiZone system manages multiple zones by evaluating the average weighted demand of customized zone groups. Its 9 analog inputs accept thermistor, dry contact, 4-20mA, 0-5 VDC, and RH% signals, individually configurable per input.
Best For
- Rooftop units and packaged air treatment equipment
- Zoned rooftop systems where the RTU is the FlexiZone master
- Units requiring economizer, DCV, and dehumidification sequences
- Large cooling plants expanding past 2 stages by pairing with an M2000 FLX

Frequently Asked Questions
How many heating and cooling stages does the PL-M2000-RTU control?
Up to 3 stages of heating and 2 stages of cooling. Cooling expands to 8 stages once the RTU is coupled with an M2000 FLX controller.
Does the PL-M2000-RTU support demand controlled ventilation?
Yes. Demand controlled ventilation (DCV) and dehumidification sequences are available, along with economizer, preheating, CO2 levels, and static pressure control.
Can the PL-M2000-RTU act as a network master?
Yes. It acts as a master controller when connected to a Prolon network, and its FlexiZone system manages multiple zones by evaluating the average weighted demand of the zones using customized groups.
Can the PL-M2000-RTU read a humidity sensor?
Yes. Input signals include RH%, along with thermistor, dry contact, 4-20mA, and 0-5 VDC, individually configurable for each of the 9 inputs.
