Quick facts
The GENERAL AIRSTAGE FJ-AC-485-1 BACnet module is the gateway the manufacturer lists for integrating its AIRSTAGE heat pumps into a building management system, and it is identical to the module sold under the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE brand. Fujitsu General Limited has carried the name GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026; the manufacturer, its factories and the AIRSTAGE lineup remain the same. In the manufacturer’s accessory lists, the module appears as the “Intesis - BACnet MSTP & Modbus RTU Gateway”: the gateway is designed by Intesis for AIRSTAGE equipment (GENERAL or Fujitsu).
If your plans refer to the gateway by its former name, see the same part under the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE brand; the GENERAL brand is gradually replacing the old one, and both are in circulation during the transition.
Heat pumps in centralized management
Managers of commercial buildings, schools or seniors’ residences often run lighting, ventilation and heating from one central workstation. The FJ-AC-485-1 gateway brings the AIRSTAGE heat pumps into that workstation, over a BACnet MS/TP network or, per the manufacturer’s description, over Modbus RTU. Each indoor unit then appears in the system, which can monitor and control it.
Compatible unit families
- Altair 500 (ASUH**KPAS), Orion XLTH (ASUH**KZAS) and Orion XLTH+ wall-mounted heat pumps
- ACUH and AUUH cassettes, as well as the suspended ceiling unit
- ADUH and ARUH ducted units, and AMUH air handlers
- Floor units in the AGUH family
Preparing the network connection
Network parameters are set with the integrator in charge of the management system. If the network runs on Modbus only, the manufacturer also offers the UTY-VMSX converter. Before ordering, we go over the protocol, the number of units and the model of each one with you.
Networking with AirGreen
Connecting the gateway to the units is our part of the job; the network setup is done hand in hand with your integrator, in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the South Shore and on the North Shore. RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 applies to all of our work. The number of units to integrate helps us prepare the quote: mention it when you call 514 316-2973 or write to sales@airgreen.ca, including for an availability question.
