Advanced Control Solutions for Multi-Unit Residential Living

Standard, protected, easy-to-service controls for the thousands of suites in apartments, condominiums and student housing.

Delivering Consistency at Scale

In a multi-unit building, one control choice is repeated across hundreds of suites and then maintained for decades. A small wiring difference, a missed protection input or a hard-to-replace board turns into a building-wide cost. Retrofit and OEM projects need a control platform that installs the same way every time, protects neighbouring suites, and can be serviced by the teams who actually manage these properties.

Modern Apartment Building

Stopping Water Damage Between Suites

A leak or overflow in one suite can damage the units below it. Equipment needs to detect water and freeze conditions quickly and shut itself down before the problem spreads.

Keeping Installs Consistent Across Floors

When a contractor installs the same unit hundreds of times, small differences in wiring or setup slow the job and invite mistakes. A consistent board layout helps keep every suite the same.

Matching Each Building’s Wiring Type

Older buildings often rely on conventional thermostat wiring, while newer developments may use serial communication. Manufacturers need to serve both without maintaining separate board designs.

Planning for Decades of Maintenance

Residential buildings stay in service for a long time, and the people maintaining them change. Controls should be straightforward to understand and replace, with clear options for future upgrades.

Omachron® Controls Board Capabilities

Flood, Float & Freeze Protection

Safeguards for Every Suite

Dedicated inputs for flood, float, freeze and aquastat devices let equipment react to water and temperature problems, helping protect suites and the units below them.

RS-485 or 7-Wire Control

 Fits New Builds & Retrofits

Conventional 7-wire 24VAC control boards allow for straightforward installations, and RS-485 control boards at 9600 baud are suitable for buildings with connected controls, all from one board family.

Four-Speed Fan Control

Comfort Across Different Suite Sizes

High, medium, low and ultra-low fan outputs help manufacturers tune airflow for studios, family suites and everything in between.

ERV-Ready Ventilation

Fresh Air Ventilation in Buildings

Integrated ERV control boards add a damper output, a fresh air temperature input, a low voltage timer input and 0–10VDC fresh and stale air fan outputs for suite-level ventilation.

Designed for Modern Residential Projects

Residential properties need equipment that is easy to install, easy to maintain and hard to damage. Omachron® Control boards help manufacturers build fan coils that meet those expectations across entire buildings.

One Platform Across Every Suite Type

Apartments, condominiums, student housing and seniors’ residences each have their own layouts and wiring. A choice of 7-wire or RS-485 control boards, with or without ERV Integration, lets manufacturers cover all of them from one board family.

Using a single platform simplifies stocking, reduces training for installers and keeps spare parts consistent for building owners.

Protection That Reaches Beyond the Suite

In multi-story buildings, a water event rarely stays in one place. Flood, float, freeze and aquastat inputs help equipment respond early, limiting the damage that can spread to neighbouring units.

Modern Loft Bedroom

Built for Long-Term Maintenance

Property management teams inherit equipment for years after the original installer has gone. A consistent board design with clear control options helps technicians work quickly, replace components with confidence and keep suites in service.
