The Kontar™ system is the most powerful, easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for commercial applications on the market. The web-based Kontar™ SCADA™ interface allows the user to easily monitor and control their operations from anywhere in the world. Simply log into a secure site on the Arecont Global Hub™ and monitor equipment status, change set points, create custom alarms and reports; you decide what is important and our open protocols allow a fully custom interface to be easily designed for your application.

Take a look at the demonstration of an actual client operation below. Notice the simple layout and dynamic graphics representing real-time activity on your web-enabled PC. Notice how we can change or monitor set points or operation of even complex HVAC tasks on an 11-story hi-rise office complex. The system has a typical payback of two to three years yet this customer boasts savings of over 20% on their HVAC expenses and over 12% savings on their entire utility bill!

Built-in alarms management allows the Kontar™ system the ability to easily configure complex alarming features and notification. Status is sent in seconds and internal corrective actions can be performed automatically to prevent further damage from occurring. All alarm activities and acknowledgements can be logged to create audit trails and help identify problems or faulty equipment. Alarms can be sent instantly to wireless phones, pagers or via email to notify the appropriate personnel.

The Kontar™ System provides great opportunities to owners and operators of multiple facilities. It allows administration of equipment by means of an internet-connected computer or a handheld device from a single location, which cuts expenses affiliated with travel, equipment downtime and labor costs.

The goal of any automation system is to maximize output as well as to simplify day-to-day operational tasks to the point of being able to remove human responsibility altogether. A user-friendly Kontar™ interface may be used to accomplish any task from the most complex to merely changing a heating setpoint through a Web browser.

The Web-based Kontar™ Control Center utilizes a multi-level user administration that allows an unlimited number of users to have different levels of control. This feature is particularly handy in an office building where tenants are allowed to manage a specific portion of the system. By simply logging onto a secure Website and providing an authentication, a tenant may turn on the cooling system after hours or alter the operational schedule according to building guidelines. All these events are archived for later review and billing.

Indoor air quality is very important today, considering government regulations and liability, as well as the public’s general concern. The Kontar™ Control System helps maintain air quality by regulating outside air intake according to ASHRAE standards. The system continually monitors facilities’ microclimate and logs data for future record.

When it comes to energy management, scheduling plays a significant role in lowering buildings’ energy consumption. Kontar™ Control Center allows operators to easily specify daily and weekly schedules. It also provides a simple interface for scheduling exceptions like planned downtimes and holidays. The scheduling feature of the Kontar™ System is also able to carry out such tasks as changing setpoints according to time of day or performing optimal start/stop. Of course, all these tasks may be accomplished remotely via a Web browser.
