75F: Central Control Unit™ (CCU)
On-site Conductor for Smart Buildings
The 75F® Central Control Unit™ (CCU) acts as an aggregation gateway for the modules in the building. At the “head” of the local system, the CCU provides the primary on-site user interface for building management, complementing Web and mobile access. The CCU consists of a removable, custom tablet running Android and seated in a custom Control Mote (CM), with multiple wireless communications protocols, plus 8 wired relays and inputs/outputs for controlling HVAC, lighting and other building equipment.
The CCU interface provides cross-zone, zone-specific and equipment-specific status, real-time data graphs, and a robust set of settings and software-defined configuration capabilities through an intuitive graphic user interface.
The CCU replaces a standard thermostat and connects to the low voltage relay contacts that activate the controlled system. The user interface is upgraded remotely to accomplish new function releases.
Communications, Connectivity & Control
The CCU is a combination of a custom Android tablet and control mote backplate serving as the central gateway for communications and control for all 75F product solutions and applications. The CCU provides an on-site, wall-mounted user interface to complement the included 75F Facilisight® web and mobile app software. The CCU works with single and multi-stage systems, heat pump systems, fan coil units, air handlers and variable flow hydronic systems.

Gateway to Remote Management
The CCU is the communications head for the local modules and serves as the gateway to the Internet, by which 75F Facilisight® Web and mobile software enables you to manage your entire system remotely. Remote monitoring and management capabilities include at-a-glance multi-site status and drill-down analysis, schedule and set point changes, and making changes to hundreds of buildings with a single click using our Global Policy Editor.
