- A single zone can range from less than 50 square feet to 30,000 sq. ft. or more
- Multiple zones can be created for flexibility, control and expansion
- Any space can be expanded up to the capacity of the control module, at any time, by adding more emitters
- Individual power supply for each control module
- Emitters do not require a separate power supply: all NEC class 2 distribution cabling can be installed by low voltage installers
