Belimo released standalone airflow measurement and control actuators with digital communications for rotary, linear, and induct applications. Select actuator models have pressure independent control characteristics combined with an integrated differential pressure sensor to calculate and deliver designed 
flow regardless of pressure fluctuations in the system.
The actuator communicates directly with the Building Automation System (BAS) using BACnet, Modbus, or MP-Bus. Select models offer Near Field Communication (NFC) for quick programming, commissioning, and troubleshooting, leading to optimal system performance. The actuator with industry-standard digital communications is the perfect solution for integration in constant or variable air volume systems, or open-loop applications. Learn more.
When scaling VAV boxes, parameters can be set up and installed via NFC and the Belimo Assistant App, utilizing a smartphone to communicate to the actuator. With communication protocol, BACnet, Modbus, and MP-Bus, complete actuator transparency and the operation of your system is available at all times. The Belimo Assistant App (plus a ZIP-BT-NFC converter if using an iPhone), provides on-site wireless configuration for select NFC damper actuators and valve actuators. Efficient programming, commissioning, and troubleshooting during operation are accessible whenever service is required; some characteristics include device type, position, operating data, and setting parameters. NFC provides the data access you need to ease installation and ensure optimal performance.
