LAS VEGAS, Jan. 30, 2017 - Automated Logic Corporation (ALC), a leading provider of innovative building automation systems, has expanded its product portfolio to include a new line of self-powered, wireless space sensors, promoting sustainability, optimized comfort and energy efficiency in commercial buildings. Designed to work with WebCTRL® controllers and the WebCTRL building automation system, these sensors monitor a building's conditions to optimize the use of HVAC and lighting systems within the building. ALC is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
The new wireless sensors include energy-harvesting EnOcean® technology which collects ambient light via built-in solar panels that power the sensor and send wireless communications. Batteries or other power sources are not required when sufficient lighting exists in the space.
Once installed, the wireless sensors communicate directly with a WS wireless adapter, which is connected to the WebCTRL controller that optimizes the HVAC and lighting systems in the space. This adapter can be installed up to 60 feet away (or even further in many situations) from the sensors, ensuring strong communication signals without the need for amplifiers or repeaters. And, with its small size and plug-and-play capabilities, the wireless adapter is compatible with both new and existing WebCTRL systems, making it relatively easy to add wireless sensors to any building.
•	Wireless software tools for commissioning and diagnostics are included with every purchase. Uncommon in the industry, these wireless tools simplify commissioning and troubleshooting by allowing installers to verify wireless signal integrity before installing sensors and also facilitate the discovery, pairing and commissioning of sensors to the wireless adapter on the controller.
The wireless sensors will be available in different frequencies for different parts of the world and also support both metric and English units, providing global compatibility. They can also be mixed and matched with Automated Logic's popular ZS line of wired sensors, making them ideal for both new and retrofit applications.
