The Strato Automation OS537MHCW is an OPENSTAT configurable BACnet wall controller with 15 I/O (5 universal inputs, 3 analog outputs, 7 binary outputs), built-in temperature, humidity, radar motion and NDIR CO2 sensing, and BACnet MS/TP plus BACnet/IP over Wi-Fi 6. It mounts on a standard 2 x 4 in. electrical junction box and runs on 24 VAC/VDC.
The OS537MHCW controls AHU, FCU, RTU, HP and WSHP equipment, with numerous configurations to fit the project. A Sensirion SHT40 sensor provides room temperature and humidity at the wall. A radar motion sensor detects human presence up to 20 ft straight ahead, and a self-calibrating Telaire T6713 NDIR sensor measures CO2 from 400 to 2000 ppm. Configuration is available from the local buttons, BACnet configuration objects, embedded web pages or Strato software tools.
