Its features include:

• Cost effective direct digital control of HVAC Equipment

• Dialing Sites remotely to verify system operation

• Alarming out when temperatures or equipment get out of range

• Monitoring space, discharge and outdoor temperatures start and run history of equipment, alarm history, and system operations

• Remotely start/stop equipment and verify system operation

• Saving energy with occupied/unoccupied setting and more accurate temperature control of building
