Durable, Functional, Flexible

American Auto-Matrix has always acknowledged the importance of open systems architecture for Building Auto-mation Systems. We pioneered the concept of open protocols for building automation systems in the mid 1980’s with our Public Host Protocol™ (PHP) and Public Unitary Protocol™ (PUP) systems. AAM’s philosophy of open communication systems finally became widely accepted and specified in the industry decades later with the emergence of BACnet® and LonMark®. Today American Auto-Matrix develops products which adhere to these industry standards and continues to lead the way in the world of open architectures.

The American Auto-Matrix system architecture is built upon the notion of open protocols and providing backwards compatibility. Our controllers have a legacy of innovation and performance - a legacy that continues today. All of our products feature generation-to-generation compatibility, which means that each new product is carefully engineered to build on and function smoothly with its predecessors. This built-in non-obsolescence translates to greater economy for owners and managers of buildings and networks where our products are in use.

AAM Unitary controllers can operate stand-alone or networked together to form a complete system. From small stand-alone buildings, to multiple building networks, to enterprise wide applications, the AAM system offers the same level of durability, functionality, and flexibility wherever they are found.

The Sash Position approach represents a widely accepted method designed to control face velocity base on calculations configured directly into the controller. Face velocity is controlled by calculating the flow area based on sash position and then controlling a calibrated air valve.

Secondary air flow feedback is also possible. The Sash Position method uses polymer coated string pots, a linear airflow valve, and a differential pressure switch to regulate face velocity.
