Thermostat Families
NetX offers two thermostat families built on the same commercial-grade platform, so you can match the right level of capability to each application without overpaying for features you don't need. The X-Series delivers maximum integration depth for your most demanding environments, while the J-Series provides focused, application-specific control in a smaller package. Both connect to the same NetX Cloud ecosystem and support the same industry-standard protocols, giving you one platform that scales across your entire portfolio.
X-Series Thermostats
The Flagship Workhorse of the Commercial Industry
Built for demanding environments that require deep integration and high-capacity staging. The X-Series is the premier solution for critical infrastructure, featuring:
- Deepest Integration: Standardized with BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP for Building Automation Systems (BAS).
- Maximum Control: Equipped with 7 Relays to handle complex HVAC staging, including Humidification/Dehumidification and Damper/DCV control.
- Rugged Reliability: Designed for 30+ years as the standard for schools, data centers, and corporate headquarters.
J-Series Thermostats
The Tailored Solutions for Specific Applications
Designed for organizations that need commercial-grade features in a focused, modular hardware package. Avoid overbuilding your project by selecting the specific models you need:
- Application Specific: Choose from standard, conventional, and heat pump models (J5), to models specific for 2/4 pipe systems (J5T), 3-Speed Fan Coil Units (J5F), and Room Sensors (J0S) for VAV/VRF and local zone sensing with user touchscreens.
- Tailored Connectivity: Options for Wi-Fi or Ethernet available for industrial reporting and control.
- VAV Leadership: Advanced support for Single-Zone and Multi-Zone VAV/VVT integration.
- Modern Standard: Every networked J-Series includes Humidity Sensing, BACnet/IP, and Modbus TCP/IP as standard features.
