BMA Lab Completes First Phase Testing

March 11, 2002

BOSTON, MA — The BACnet Testing Laboratory (BTL) recently completed the initial phase of BACnet inter-operability testing. Application-specific controllers, smart sensors, and smart actuators made by Alerton Technologies, Automated Logic, Delta Controls, and Teletrol passed the tests and will be listed on the BACnet Manufacturers Association (BMA) website.

Listing means the products passed an extensive suite of tests designed to check compliance with the ASHRAE/ANSI BACnet specifications and interoperability with other BACnet products. Preparations are already under way to test more BACnet products later in the year.
