Falcon

Architectural Controller

 

The Falcon series of electronic controllers is designed to control SPD Smart Glass windows in residential, commercial buildings and other projects where there are a large number of SPD Smart Glass windows (e.g. atrium).  The controller is a component of our Building Energy Management Control System (BEMCS).

 

The Falcon controller can be used as a standalone controller for up to 32 windows or in a wireless network of controllers supporting hundreds or thousands of SPD Smart Glass windows operating autonomously in a coordinated fashion from a central control system.

 

The Falcon controller is a small footprint controller with integrated RF wireless networking that can be built into window frames, or mounted in an in-wall enclosure. The BEMCS consists of a wireless network, Falcon controllers, our Master Building Control System (MBCS).  The MBCS provides the means to control the window façade of an entire building for maximum energy efficiency without additional wiring.

Note:  The Falcon controller, wireless network, and MBCS can be easily customized to satisfy special projects.
