RTUwLink

The XCSpec RTUwLink is a compact, advanced RTU controller that integrates economizer, powered exhaust, and variable supply fan control into one easy-to-install solution. When paired with XCSpec thermostats, the RTUwLink communicates over the thermostat power wires or wirelessly using industry-standard IEEE 802 wireless communications—no custom gateways required. Setup is fast with the AQ Installer App using a simple QR code, and while RTUwLink is cloud-ready, it can install and operate without a cloud connection.
"Fresh Air, Better Living:
Eliminate CO2 for a Healthier, More Energized Environment!"
CO2 levels are crucial to indoor air quality, as elevated levels can contribute to chronic illnesses, reduced cognitive function, drowsiness, and absenteeism.
XCSpec makes monitoring healthy and unhealthy CO2 counts easy, helping maintain a safer environment.

ECONOMIZER OPERATION
- Outside Air Temperature is used to determine whether to input cooler outside air.
- When the thermostat determines a need for cooling and the OAT is in the proper range, the Outside Air actuator is opened, under PI control, to begin cooling space.
- If cooling demand does not decrease within 5 minutes and the actuator is fully open, the first stage compressor is energized by the thermostat.
- Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) control is based on ppm readings from the thermostat and used to close the actuator.
OUTSIDE AIR QUALITY BASED CONTROL
- Advanced air quality sensors are used by both the Smart Bulb and the Outside Air Transmitter.
- Conditions from smoke or ash in the air is detected and action is taken to close the outside air input actuator while the event exists.
- Conditions from vehicle fumes are detected and action is taken to close the air input while poor outdoor air quality exists.
- If connected to an AQTstatPro with a CO2 sensor, indoor CO2 levels are monitored and, if they exceed a dangerous level, outside air will be introduced until CO2 levels drop.
POWERED EXHAUST PRESSURE CONTROL
- The exhaust fan is managed while the building is occupied. This is provided by the thermostat.
- While occupied, the differential pressure is continuously calculated by the RTUwLink.
- Based on the difference from the pressure set point, an integrated PI function continuously controls 0–10V to maintain the pressure setpoint.
- When unoccupied, the RTUwLink self-calibrates the pressure offsets.
ADVANCED RTU MONITOR
- Delta T between evaporator coils mid and exit are continuously measured.
- Delta T between Condenser coils mid and exit are continuously measured.
- All three phases of power are monitored. Any single phase out of phase with the other two is immediately flagged, and the Compressor is disabled at the thermostat.
- CloudBEAM-ready for remote monitoring, trending, alerts, and AI-driven predictive maintenance.
