Energy savings in a building is beneficial to the environment and the wallet. In addition, many jurisdictions have requirements for energy-saving controls to meet building codes. The main targets for energy savings in a building are HVAC and Lighting. Functional Devices, Inc. manufactures EnOcean, wireless products that can make these…
Functional Devices has approximately one million current sensors…give or take a million. Up until now, all those current switches and current transducers only worked at 50 or 60 Hz. Those are the frequencies that come out of the wall all around the world so if the load being monitored is…
Functional Devices is now offering two new current sensors with lower sensing thresholds and higher rated contacts: RIBXKNUTA and RIBXGNTF-125 RIBXKNUTA The RIBXKNUTA is very similar to the popular RIBXKTA current sensor. It works identically with it being an adjustable solid core current sensor. Where it differs from the RIBXKTA…
I know what you’re thinking… What is a company that is known for making relays and power supplies doing, writing a blog about BACnet? What Functional Devices is really known for is creating time-saving products that help controls companies install their systems with ease. For example, we make a relay…
Having options sure can be nice; however, sometimes help is needed to weigh out the options in order to choose the best one. Here at Functional Devices, we have lots of options for relays and other devices in the “Intelligent Field Devices” category. A brief glance through the category and…
We all know our favorite RIB Building Automation products that we use on every job, but here’s a list of Functional Devices that you should keep in your back pocket. RIBMN24Q2C, Q3C, Q4C Running out of Binary Outputs on your controller? Try the RIBMN24Q2C. This device line is similar to…
Did you know the first air conditioner was built in 1902 by a guy named Willis Carrier? Air conditioning has come a long way since those days. Most buildings are conditioned by Rooftop Units, most commonly called RTU’s. Some are more complicated than others, often controlling humidity or air quality…
Current Switch, Solid Core, Adjustable, 0.20-150 Amp, Terminal
Current Switch, Split Core, Fixed, 0.125-150 Amp, Terminal
Do you need low voltage power at multiple locations on a job? You could run high voltage to each location, add a transformer, put in circuit protection, and add a switch, but running high voltage all over the place can get expensive. You could also bring the high voltage to…
Many contractors and lighting specialists need General Purpose Relays when specifying or installing in lighting control systems. Functional Devices’ General Purpose Relays are so good – the competition might as well be selling First Lieutenant Purpose Relays. Bathroom Fan You’ve got a light switch controlling 277V lights.
