CommStat 4™ HVAC Controller

The CommStat 4 is our most comprehensive HVAC controller for air conditioners or heat pumps in a telecom shelter or enclosure. A single CommStat 4 will control two redundant air conditioners or heat pumps, but has the capability to be daisy chained with up to two additional CommStat 4 units for controlling up to six air conditioners or heat pumps in a shelter. The CommStat 4 has seven outputs for remote alarms or notification. A modem connection allows for remote viewing of the shelter temperature, mode of operation, remote diagnosis and changing the configuration settings. A unique Marvair feature, the Comfort button, allows a service tech to easily change the temperature to provide a comfortable working environment. After 90 minutes, the temperature set points automatically revert back to the programmed temperature set points. The CommStat 4 also stores the last 10 ten faults that were registered.
Please see the CommStat 4 Product Data Sheet for a complete description of the operation and installation of the CommStat 4 controller. To download the Product Data Sheet, scroll down to the bottom of this page and follow the instructions.
