BBS Professional Zone Controller (USB)

Order code: BBSP-ZC/U

Ultra long range (mesh networking gives full coverage of an office or home with one Zone Controller
Plug and play interface to the BBS Energy Manager
Cost effective

The BBS Professional Zone Controller acts as master interface between the BBS Energy Manager and other BBS Professional products. With a simple plug and play fitting this controller is ideal for simple installations and / or trials and energy audits.

Because BBS Professional is a meshing system, every module talks to every other module in order to maximise range and reliability. This means that in any office or home environment, only one USB Zone Controller is required for full coverage so long as every module is within 30m of any other module. If the Zone Controller cannot directly pass messages to any module on the network, the other modules in the range will "pass on" the message to ensure 100% operation.
