QCA-Z44 Application Controller

For Monitoring & Control of Remote Sites

QCA-Z44

Our COSYS Application and System Controls work along with our enterprise software platform OspreyFMS to provide a meaningful context.

The QCA-Z44 is a native BACnet® controller optimized for zone terminal unit applications available in both configurable and fully programmable versions. The controller is line-powered with a built-in 24 VAC inverter providing field power for low voltage peripheral devices such as sensors and valves. Line voltage rated relay outputs allow direct switching of line loads, such as fan motors.
The QCA-Z44 communicates using BACnet MS/TP on its RS-485 main LAN port. 

Features

  • Line voltage rated relays allows direct switching of fan motor loads
  • Universal line power input with built-in 24 VAC inverter removes need for local control transformer
  • Local scheduling, trending, and alarming support
    Built-in fan coil and heat pump configurable algorithms for quick setup and commissioning
  • Optional programmable feature allows customization for
    non-standard sequences or repurposing spare I/O
  • Universal outputs provide flexibility for any combination of analog, binary, or floating output stages
  • Firmware upgrade and database load / save over the network

Applications

The combination of line-rated relays, universal low voltage inputs and outputs ensures the QCA-Z44 has the I/O flexibility to cover a wide range of terminal unit applications and configurations.
The QCA-Z44 includes built-in fan coil and heat pump algorithms that are easy to configure for typical applications.
The QCA-Z44 is a fully programmable model that allows you to either create your own completely custom zone programs or modify the built-in algorithm’s behavior.
