Revolutionize Indoor Air Quality Management with AQ Extender™
The AQ Extender revolutionizes indoor air quality management with its wireless smart ventilation control system. Continuously receiving air quality and pressure data from sensors within the tenant space, the Extender employs advanced algorithms to optimize fresh air intake and exhaust, ensuring healthier indoor environments while conserving energy.
Benefits
Smart Air Quality Control
Promotes healthier indoor air quality by dynamically adjusting ventilation based on real-time air quality and pressure conditions
Energy-Efficient Ventilation
Saves energy by optimizing fresh air intake and exhaust, reducing unnecessary reconditioning of air
Seamless Integration
Easy installation and integration with AQ Family of products for comprehensive air quality management

- Optional 10K-2 input for temperature measurement
Advanced Controls for Fresh Air Intake & Exhaust Air
AQ Extenders™ moves past the use CO2 as an estimation of ventilation to knowing the space zone pressures and then making this information actionable by the HVAC ventilation system. By dynamically controlling air exhaust with fresh ventilation needs, AQ Extenders ensures the health of the air inside buildings while saving energy. Based on integrated microelectronics technology, AQ Extender is a low cost, reliable path to healthier buildings.
The AQ Family of products is designed to make installation fast and easy.
The AQ Extender combines knowledge of both air and ventilation quality to optimize the introduction of new air without incurring unnecessary energy cost associated with reconditioning of the new air. AQ Extenders wirelessly receives CO2, VOCs and PM2.5 Air Quality information from inside the tenant space. This is used to control the amount of fresh outside air introduced into the ventilation system. Ventilation quality is measured in terms of space pressure in each zone. AQ Extender wirelessly receives pressure data from up to 4 tenant zones. Exhaust is controlled based on maintaining positive pressure in the tenant space, providing assurances that the air is moving through the ventilation and filtration system.
- Works with AQ Family of products, providing the most comprehensive solution on the market
- Controls motorized actuators directly or as a DCV input to most Economizers based on air quality
- Introduces new input air based more than just CO2
- Controls Powered Exhausts ECM motors of VFDs
- Air Exhaust is based on maintaining pressure set points for optimum ventilation
- Smart Ventilation Control balances tenant air and ventilation quality with energy costs
- Mobile Application supports set up and commissions anywhere in the building
- Sold with MicroMetl® Power Exhausts
- Free Email Alerts with warranty information
The Extender is design to be installed in the RTU and wired to an economizer and/or powered exhaust. The Extender receives in-space air quality and pressure data from the AQ Indoor Display units mounted in the tenant space. The Extender and Indoor unit communicate with Wi-Fi.
If the radio signal does not penetrate the roof, reference the AQ Controls product which supports communications over the thermostat R and C hardwires.

AQ® Family of compatible products
AQ Thermostat is designed to send air quality and pressure data over the R and C wires. CO2 and pressure data from the thermostat and up to 3 attached AQ Indoor units contribute to the control algorithms. Optional VOCs and PM 2.5 sensors available. Works with Economizer and Heat Pumps.
AQ Indoor can be used standalone communicating pressure and air quality data to AQ Controls over thermostat’s wires. Conversely, AQ Indoors can be associated with the AQ Thermostat for additional zones. At a glance indicators provide air quality and ventilation quality indicators. Mobile app available.
Installation Overview
Installation in the RTU:
- Wire "Econ On" to economizer to enable exhaust, allowing control when new air is being introduced into the HVAC system
- Wire "DCV" to Economizer DCV input or motorized actuator to provide 0-10V control
- Wire "Fan" to the FAN input of the ECM or VFD of the powered exhaust to provide 0-10V control
- Tube must have access to air outside the RTU in a shelter (no rain) location
- Install 10K-2 sensor at your discretion
Installation of Air Quality and Pressure Measurement units inside the building:
- AQ Indoor requires 24Vacdc
Three Options to connect Indoor Units to the Exntender:
- Wi-Fi Direct attaches directly to the AQ Extender
- Connect all units to the building infrastructure Wi-Fi
- Hardwire connection using AQ Controls
