Automated Logic Smart Valves and Damper Actuators provide precise flow control and damper positioning for commercial HVAC and building automation applications. Designed to integrate with the Act Net communication port on OptiFlex controllers, these smart devices simplify installation, reduce wiring complexity, and conserve controller onboard inputs and outputs.
Smart valves feature CCV™ (Characterized Control Valves) technology to deliver precise flow regulation and energy efficiency across varying temperatures. Available in 2-way and 3-way configurations, the valves accommodate nominal sizes from 1/2 inch to 6 inches, with multiple flow coefficient (Cv) options and a choice of fail-safe or non-fail-safe actuator configurations.
Smart damper actuators use Multi-Function Technology (MFT) for precise damper control and efficient operation. With torque ratings ranging from 35 to 360 in-lb, these actuators offer a variety of configurations to suit different HVAC equipment requirements.
Act Net supports serial communication, automatic device addressing, and exact position feedback to the WebCTRL building automation system for diagnostic purposes. Up to eight smart devices can connect directly to the Act Net sub-network on an OptiFlex controller, helping reduce installation time and wiring requirements.
Ideal for air handling units (AHUs), heating and cooling coils, fan coil units (FCUs), unit ventilators, and VAV reheat coils, Automated Logic Smart Valves and Damper Actuators help improve HVAC control, simplify commissioning, and support energy-efficient building operations.
