Distech Controls’ Eclypse T1L Expands Retrofit Modernization Options
For many facilities, the biggest barrier to building automation modernization isn’t technology, it’s the cost and disruption of replacing existing infrastructure. The new Eclypse T1L Retrofit Solution from Distech Controls, part of Acuity Brands, provides a pathway to modern IP-based controls while allowing existing wiring to remain in place.
Designed for VAV retrofit projects, Eclypse T1L enables building owners, facility managers, and system integrators to introduce IP-native connectivity, edge intelligence, and enhanced cybersecurity capabilities without the extensive rewiring, construction work, and occupant disruption often associated with traditional upgrade projects. It achieves this by supporting phased deployment strategies that can be implemented room by room, floor by floor, or across selected areas of a facility.
A key differentiator of the solution is the ability to preserve existing twisted-pair cabling. By leveraging 10BASE-T1L technology, the solution extends IP connectivity to the edge while reducing the construction work, downtime, and installation costs often associated with conventional retrofit projects.
The Eclypse T1L Retrofit Solution also provides access to the broader Eclypse ecosystem, enabling facilities teams to take advantage of enhanced software tools, operational visibility, and integration capabilities. This helps customers modernize at a pace aligned with their budget, infrastructure, and operational priorities while establishing a foundation for future building technology investments.
The solution combines three integrated components: the Eclypse VAV T1L Controller, Eclypse T1L Media Adapter, and Eclypse T1L Unmanaged Switch. Together, these technologies create a migration path from legacy control architectures to modern IP-based building automation systems.
In addition, Eclypse Facilities extends intuitive dashboards, open APIs, connectivity options, and Wi‑Fi capabilities to retrofit projects, helping building operators gain greater visibility into system performance while simplifying integration with modern building management workflows.
