Smart Mixing Valve Offers Improved Ease of Use

Powers, a Watts brand, has introduced the IntelliStation Jr. digital mixing valve – an easy-to- install smart mixing valve that connects through the Building Automation System (BAS).

Passcode-protected and configurable on site, IntelliStation Jr. does not require factory pre- programming, a laptop, or special software to download for commissioning, or when making adjustments to the valve.

Special features include:

• Programmable set point range of 60°F to 180°F
• Control of water temperature +/- 2°F in accordance with ASSE 1017
• User-selected high and low temperature alerts enhancing safety
• Scheduling feature with temperature setback saving energy and money
• Lead free construction to comply with lead free installation requirement
• High temperature Sanitization mode to address waterborne bacteria
• BAS communication protocols, BACnet MS/TP and Modbus, native to the controller do not require a separate module or additional cost
• Wi-Fi enabled for fast and easy software upgrades

Also, the IntelliStation Jr. is self-balancing, which prevents overnight temperature creep by balancing the hot water distribution system during low- to no-demand periods.
