The GEN UC is a microprocessor-based, digital controller designed to communicate over a network or remotely through the internet that controls stand-alone Gas / Electric or Heat Pump units, either RTUs or Split type systems. The GEN UC will communicate and control up to 20 SATouchX. The GEN UC can be managed via an App (iOS or Android) on your mobile device or a computer’s browser and can be accessed over your local area network (LAN) or the internet from ANYWHERE. The GEN UC RM controllers are used to expand your system to control multiple stand-alone units remotely. GEN UC can support up to 20 RM expansion controllers providing control of up to 400 RTUs or split systems. The GEN UC mobile App allows for a wide range of system control and changeover strategies, allowing the contractor to tailor the GEN UC system to a specific application. Additional features include a Morning warm-up and thermostat lock-out. An integrated clock allows for setup, night setback, and vacation scheduling, globally or individually for each thermostat, with selectable 2 to 8-hour override, along with a feature to remotely lock each thermostat independently in the system. A unique system tool provides the installing contractor with a simple startup diagnostic to quickly alert and identify any system wiring errors, all from the palm of your hand using the GEN UC mobile App. Each SATouchX is equipped with return air, supply air, and humidity sensors which report this information to the GEN UC. The SATouchX is hard-wired to the unit and communicates back to the GEN UC via the RS‐485 communication link. The GEN UC system operates over a plenum-rated three-wire data link, along with two 24vac power wires all daisy chained from SATouchX to SATouchX with no home run wiring required.
