The NS Series Network Sensor offering includes NS Series Network Zone Sensors and NS Series Network Discharge Air Sensors. The NS Series Network Sensors are designed to function directly with Metasys® system Field Equipment Controllers (FECs), Input/Output Modules (IOMs), VAV Modular Assembly (VMA16) Controllers, and Facility Explorer FX-PC Series Programmable Controllers (FX-PCGs, FX-PCVs, and FX-PCXs). The majority of NS Series Network Zone Sensors monitor room,temperature however, options are available to also monitor zone humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), local temperature setpoint
adjustments, and other variables. This data is transmitted to a controller on the Sensor Actuator (SA) Bus. Some models of NS Series Network Zone Sensors include an onboard passive infrared (PIR) occupancy sensor that detects motion to determine if a space is occupied. This feature maximizes up to 30% energy savings in high-energy usage environments such as schools, dormitories, offices, hospitals, and hotels by adjusting the temperature of the space based on the occupancy status. In addition, the PIR occupancy sensor facilitates trending of floor space usage in these environments. The NS Series Network Zone Sensors include models with a temperature setpoint dial and LCD that allows occupants to view the zone temperature, Relative Humidity (RH), and view and adjust the
zone temperature setpoint. Some temperature and humidity models include a push button to toggle between temperature and RH on the display. These models also have the capability to set the desired default display to either temperature or RH. A fan mode push button is included to set the desired fan speed (AUTO-OFF-low-medium-high). An occupancy override function allows the user to signal to the controller that the zone is occupied to override the scheduled mode. Some models have DIP switches to seta unique address for applications that require multiple sensors.
