The Equipment Touch App allows you to connect your iPhone or iPad to a BAS controller via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. These connection(s) allows you to effortlessly access and control property settings, schedule equipment operations, monitor trends, and respond to alarms. When you connect to the controller, the Equipment Touch App automatically uploads a custom Equipment Touch view file that resides within the controller. Once this file is fully loaded, the app provides real-time status updates and parameter values, allowing you to seamlessly navigate through screens designed for equipment maintenance and troubleshooting. In cases where no custom Equipment Touch file is available in the controller, the Equipment Touch App grants access to pre-built system screens within the app itself. While these screens offer limited controller access, they serve as a valuable resource for basic troubleshooting.

NCE is excited to offer its first free application to allow you to manage your compressor purchases from registration to warranty requests, reorder and order compressors and look up related compressor information. The application allows you to manually enter in a model number or you can use your devices camera to read the tag and get pertinent information on the nomenclature. From there you can request a compressor quote. After you purchase your compressor, you can manage the compressor registration, and simply order another one if you need another of the same model compressor.
