Product overview
The VWG-40 and related wireless thermostats are targeted to retrofit applications where the
addition of communicating field bus wiring within the building space is prohibitive. The
Gateway and Communicating Thermostats with wireless field bus encourages the use of
existing wiring utilized by existing electronic thermostat type controls.
The VWG-40 when utilized in conjunction with the VT7xxxXxxxxW series wireless thermostats will offer the integrator
simple BACnet IP or BACnet MS/TP objects to integrate over standard building automation systems using familiar
integration toolsets.
A maximum of 30 wireless thermostats can be wirelessly attached to a single VWG
