Premier Energy Controls, based in Champlin, Minnesota, is the U.S. dealer representative for Vector Controls DDC controllers: BTL-listed and natively BACnet and Modbus, for light-commercial and high-end residential projects across the U.S. No proprietary lock-in, no gateways, and no per-point licensing, ever.
Premier Energy Controls is the U.S. dealer representative for Vector Controls, bringing BTL-certified, open-protocol building automation hardware to contractors, integrators, and specifying engineers across light-commercial and high-end residential projects.
We work the gap that most product lines miss: jobs that have outgrown a residential thermostat but don't need — or can't justify the cost of — a full building management system. Native BACnet and Modbus, zero licensing, and a controller that drops straight into whatever head-end a building already runs.
No proprietary sensors. No per-point fees. No vendor lock-in disguised as a feature.
A panel-mount, quad-loop programmable controller built on the X2 operating system — sized for real light-commercial jobs, priced to make sense for them too.
Four control loops, native web-configurable I/O, and a built-in RS-485 interface for peer-to-peer terminals — all commissioned free of charge through EasySet, on the bench or in the field.
Up to 4 control loops, 8 universal inputs, 6 relays and analog outputs for AHUs, chillers and larger equipment.
Dual-loop controller and room sensor with built-in temperature and humidity; fits a standard US electrical box.
Small dual-loop controller: 4 universal inputs, 2 relays and 2 analog outputs, with BACnet/Modbus over RS-485, Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Dual-loop wall-mount PI controller with 2 inputs, 2 relays, 1 analog output, 7-day schedules and a backed-up clock.
Vector's X2 platform was built so nothing you install today becomes a dead end tomorrow — for the building, or for your budget.
MS/TP and RTU over RS-485; BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP over Ethernet or Wi-Fi. No gateway, no translator.
Certificates 30869 (MS/TP) and 30963 (IP) — verifiable on the BACnet International registry.
EasySet for configuration, EasyX2 for remote monitoring — every app and firmware update, no cost.
Niagara, Metasys, Distech — or its own built-in web interface if there's no head-end at all.
Too much building for a thermostat. Too small a job to justify a licensed BMS deployment. This is exactly that middle ground.
Offices, restaurants, churches, multi-family, and schools trading pneumatic or dumb thermostats for real DDC.
Integrates alongside Control4, Crestron, and Savant for whole-home comfort and ventilation control.
Add equipment to a Niagara or Metasys site without expanding your licensed point count.
True staged or modulating equipment sequencing across all three systems from one controller.
Aging pneumatic or unitary controls upgraded with a built-in browser interface — no head-end required.
Vector's OEM program supports private-label configurations for equipment manufacturers.
Every device below runs the same free X2 operating system and the same open protocols — controllers, sensors, and transmitters that all drop into the same BACnet or Modbus network.
Room controller and sensor measuring temperature, humidity, CO₂, VOC, and particles.
Compact dual-loop wall-mount PI controller with 2 relays, 1 analog output, and 2 universal inputs — 7-day scheduling and a battery-backed clock.
Communicating fan coil controllers with Modbus output for zone-level terminal units.
Dual-loop programmable controller and sensor, US electrical box version, with built-in Wi-Fi/Ethernet and an embedded web server for setup and operation.
Desktop or wall-mount CO₂ and temperature monitor for indoor air quality monitoring and demand-controlled ventilation.
Flying-lead, surface-mount, and duct-mount NTC temperature sensors that pair with any X2 Series controller.
Full specifications, datasheets, and installation PDFs for every product are available directly from the manufacturer at vectorcontrols.com.
With Vector X2 controllers, yes. Each controller speaks BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU over RS-485, and BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, natively. Because both protocols are built in, there is no separate gateway or protocol translator to buy, configure or maintain, and the controller drops into whichever network the building already runs.
Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP. Modbus RTU runs over a serial RS-485 connection, while Modbus TCP runs over an IP network such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Vector X2 controllers support both natively, alongside BACnet MS/TP and BACnet/IP, so the same controller works on older serial networks and newer IP networks.
Not quite. Ethernet is the physical network, while BACnet/IP is the BACnet protocol carried over an IP network, which can run on Ethernet or Wi-Fi. BACnet MS/TP is the serial version that runs over RS-485 wiring. Vector X2 controllers support both BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP, so one product line covers both kinds of installation.
DDC (direct digital control) is the controller that reads sensors and runs the HVAC equipment. A BMS, or building management system, is the supervisory layer that monitors many controllers from one place. Vector X2 controllers are DDC controllers that can run on their own with a built-in web interface, or drop into a Niagara, Metasys or Distech BMS.
Yes. Replacing aging pneumatic or unitary controls with DDC is one of the most common jobs for Vector controllers. Offices, restaurants, churches, multi-family buildings and schools trade pneumatic or basic thermostats for real DDC, with a built-in browser interface and no head-end server required.
Yes. Vector X2 controllers are BTL certified and listed under certificates 30869 (BACnet MS/TP) and 30963 (BACnet/IP), which you can verify on the BACnet International registry. BTL listing confirms the controllers have been independently tested for BACnet interoperability with other certified devices.
Whether it's a single retrofit or a basis-of-design listing for your firm's templates, we'll get you the datasheet, I/O list, or sample sequence you need.
