Emerson’sE2 BX Series:Building Control SystemFor the new generationof facility management

E M E R S O N ’ SAdvanced building control – at your fingertipsThe days of a building control system simply maintaining a comfortable temperature level are goneforever. Instead, controls must be able to operate systems economically, provide detailed power-usageinformation, keep up excellent indoor air quality, seamlessly interface to third-party devices and saveenergy. Also gone are the days of simple energy management systems, replaced with sophisticatedenterprise-wide facility management systems. At the heart of this new generation of controllers is theE2 BX Series from Emerson Climate Technologies.Taking back controlE2 BX Series controllers are easy to work with. Just pull a communicationcable to each rooftop unit (RTU), and they’re programmed for control,based on a specific temperature-sensor reading. You can create zones ofvariable heating or cooling to meet specific demands and cycle heating andcooling stages to maximize energy savings, while maintaining the correcttemperature and relative-humidity set points.Enterprise facility management- Alarm - Set point- Energy - Dispatch- Food quality - Refrigerant- Condition basedOur monitoring and facility managementservices are designed specificallyto cut energy and maintenancecosts and to provide easy access tovital enterprise-wide information.That’s why we are trusted by nearly5,000 sites, 24/7,to keep facilities running atoptimum levels.E2 Facility Management SystemRemote communications- Automatic data collection- Alarm receiving and multi-set set-point changes- Security safeguardsE2 BX is accessible on site or through our remote-access softwarefrom any LAN, WAN or standard modem connection. Youhave access to full-color animated graphics, color-coded alarmindicators and real-time equipment displays.Power monitoring- Demand shedding capability- Power-usage logsE2 BX maximizes building comfort levelswhile it minimizes wasted energy.Both a power monitor and a regulator,E2 BX comes equipped with extensivedemand shedding features, as well asdetailed power-usage logs, to help youspot trends and optimize performance.

E 2 B X S E R I E SLighting control- Floor lights - Exterior signage - Parking lotCombining results from time schedules, light-level sensorsand override buttons, E2 BX easily determines whether yourlights are illuminated, optimizes your lighting needs and providesyou with timed overrides. Just push a button,and specified lights are overridden and come on for apre-determined period.Interoperability- Refrigeration - Fuel dispensers - Irrigation systemsThe E2 BX technology lets it monitor and control thirdpartydevices – everything from refrigeration equipmentand gas pumps to irrigation and security systems. EvenLennox ® rooftops or Echelon ® -based HVAC units are easilyintegrated – all from a single controller.HVAC and indoor air quality (IAQ)The E2 BX is just as effective monitoring and controlling IAQ in HVAC applications, a crucial step in meeting ASHRAE standards.The advanced algorithms in the E2 BX bring in and condition only the required amount of outside air, further reducingenergy usage and expenses.MultiFlexRCB boardLennox ® RTU- Direct interface- Improved fault information- Remote reset capabilitiesOther RTUs- Heat/cold control- Unit status- Factory-installed controllerEchelon ® HVAC unit- Echelon interface- Unit statusLennox Other EchelonRTU RTUs HVAC unitHeating/cooling set points X X XOccupancy schedules X X XEmergency override X X XIAQ X X XAlarm reset X XAlarm codes X XDirect interface X XThe “Intelligent” advantageNow, there’s another way to reduce annual maintenancecosts through Emerson’s Intelligent Storearchitecture. A new interface designed in collaborationwith Lennox Industries, Inc. allows Lennoxcommercial RTUs to interface directly with E2 BX.This lets end-users easily adjust set points and viewover 100 error codes. No more proprietary controllerswith unique error codes – and no morecostly technician visits when an HVAC unit needsresetting. It’s just one more way we give you addedinsight into your business.Remote unit resetX

Andbecause of that across-the-board cooperation, you can counton a complete system that performs at optimum levels, rightfrom its installation.Upgrading compatibilityBecause the E2 BX uses the same RS-485 network as Emerson’sREFLECS and Einstein controller series, it’s easy to upgrade anexisting unit. Just mount the controller and transfer the powerand communications connections. The program-backup capabilitiesof Emerson’s remote-access software let you downloadEinstein programs, then upload them to the E2 BX. When youpower up, the E2 BX automatically assumes control of the connectedI/O network.For more information, contactEmerson sales at 770.425.2724.2006CPC-43 R1 (9/06) Emerson®, Emerson.
