In today’s world, internet and web technologies are a part of our everyday lives. American Auto-Matrix has designed its AspectFT HVAC Energy Control Solution to interface with many of these technologies seamlessly, to create an exceptional end-user experience. With the power of the web and AspectFT, users can store data anywhere and retrieve it from anywhere through a standard web browser such as Internet Explorer® or Mozilla Firefox. For those concerned about security on their network, AspectFT runs on Linux and uses a Java runtime engine, as well as stores all data in a MySQL database. In addition users can use features such as Google™ Calendar, Outlook® 2007, and any of over 40 other iCalendar tools to schedule their building. As if that were not enough, information can be received through not only standard email, but through RSS, and even Twitter! What’s your Aspect?

From small stand-alone buildings, to multiple building networks, to enterprise wide applications, the AAM system offers the same level of durability, functionality, and flexibility wherever they are found. These controllers are available in both PUP and BACnet ® protocols.
Use American Auto-Matrix Unitary Controls when you need:
- Smart, Stand-alone, Application-specific DDC
- Unitary control networkable to a higher-level automation system
- Reduced installation time and cost
- Superior local control performance at lower operating costs
- Reliable, high-speed communications over twisted pair wire
GPC Product Family
The GPC Product Family takes advantage of the STATbus™ technology, a two-wire, polarity insensitive sensor networking protocol that can significantly reduce the installed cost of I/O intensive systems. The STATbus™ technology and the design of the GPC allows for rapid configurations resulting in easier more efficient engineering, installation, and commissioning.
Asc(e)/VAV/V3T
The ASC(e)/VAV/V3T Product Family is based on a common hardware platform that is dedicated to application specific controllers. The ASC(e) controller is an application selectable controller able to be employed in generic and light-duty custom control applications using one of three modes (Rooftop, Heatpump, and Fancoil). The VAV controller is a variable air volume controller that is designed to function in numerous scenarios that require variable air volume (VAV), constant air volume (CAV), and CO2 measurement, while providing flexible mounting solutions to increase ease of installation. Since being open simply isn’t enough, AAM also offers a group of unitary static pressure (V3Tb) and airflow (V3Td) digital controllers. These enable constant volume air handler units (AHU) to supply variable volumes of air.

American Auto-Matrix believes innovation requires purpose. It was through the identified need for something more powerful than a typical STAT, but less labor intensive than a full blown front-end, that we created the API (Auto-Matrix Point Interface) line of touch-screen displays. The NB-SD (Native BACnet), SBC-SD (AAM Proprietary Protocol) and BBC-SD (BACnet version available for general distribution) allow you to interface with up to 150 unique points on the network. Each screen can have customized text as well as allow viewing and manipulation of data. In addition, the displays have multiuser password protection, allowing for different levels of access to the system. Areas that where these displays are most commonly found are outside of operating rooms, where temperature and humidity regulation is important, on walls in reception areas where multiple point changes might need to be made (i.e. reception changing the temperature in a conference room or office), and in laboratories where room pressurization monitoring is a must.
In addition to the HVAC versions, AAM also offers a version for their Critical Environment fume hood control solution. This version interfaces with the AAM Auto-Flow controller and allows interfacing and commissioning of the hood in addition to displaying the Face Velocity live. Through the display, you can configure the Auto-Flow controller for either Sash, Face Velocity, or Feed Forward control.

Auto-Flow® Critical Environments Solutions are a complete system designed for fume hood, laboratory, and clean room environments that follows the American Auto-Matrix tradition of offering an unprecedented amount of flexibility, in addition to durability. Through expanding the leading edge GPC technology into the Critical Environments market, with the NB-GPCFHC™, fume hoods can be configured to utilize either Face Velocity or Sash Position methods through a single Native BACnet® controller; the only solution of its kind in the industry.
Through patented technologies as well as other methodologies, combined with Native BACnet® control, installations can connect seamlessly to any American-Auto Matrix HVAC control system, as well as any Native BACnet® compliant system. American Auto-Matrix has the only Native BACnet® solution in the industy. It is the intent of Auto-Flow® to offer solutions that encompass the needs of all parties involved in the Critical Environment process. This is achieved through providing a solution that not only communicates in a widely accepted open protocol, but offers a level of flexibility in which multiple familiar and proven methodologies are available. The goal of their solutions is to create an environment whereby retrofits, new installations, and additions can be achieved without increasing the learning curve or introducing unfamiliar methods or technologies, increasing safety as well as savings.
AAM Products and Systems are manufactured and installed under one or more of the following US Patents and/or others that may apply. 5481919; 5764579; 6272399; 5402687; 5415583

Various products require specific sets of commissioning tools to accomplish programming. The tools have been designed to lower installed cost and reduce onsite time through the development of online configuration and flash capabilities. Through the use of the AspectFT-Matrix, AAM controllers can be flash upgraded and commissioned over an IP network. Thereby reducing the need to go onsite to accomplish specific changes.

American Auto-Matrix has always realized the importance of open systems architecture for Building Automation Systems. We pioneered the concept of open protocols for building automation systems in the mid 1980s with our Public Host Protocol™ (PHP) and Public Unitary Protocol™ (PUP) systems. AAM's philosophy of open communication systems finally became widely accepted and specified in the industry decades later with the emergence of BACnet® and LonMark®. Today American Auto-Matrix manufactures product which adheres to these industry standards and continues to lead the way in the world of open architectures.
The American Auto-Matrix system architecture is built upon the notion of open protocols and backwards compatibility. Our controllers have a legacy of innovation and performance - a legacy that continues today. All of our products feature generation-to-generation compatibility, which means each new product is carefully engineered to build on and function smoothly with its predecessors. This built-in non-obsolescence means greater economy for owners and managers of buildings and networks where our products are in use.
