CommStat 3™ Lead/Lag Controller

The CommStat 3™ controller is a solid state control package designed to operate a fully or partially redundant air conditioning system. It is factory programmed with industry standard set points to facilitate installation. If desired, each of the set points can be quickly and easily changed in the field by the installer. The lead/lag controller insures equal run time on each air conditioner and allows the lag unit to assist upon demand.

The CommStat 3™ controller can be used with Marvair's ComPac® I and ComPac® II air conditioners or our environmental control units. The CommStat 3™ is housed in an aqua blue, corrosion resistant, polycarbonate enclosure.
