The Simplicity control board’s built-in logic control operates the unit. It identifies problems using York’s patented “Triple Slide” technology, preventing the expense of nuisance service calls. Simplicity offers two-stage independent control on all two-stage equipment and features:

The Simplicity control board offers free local networking (Freenet) that carries all alarm and diagnostic data seamlessly and directly to an on-site PC. The Simplicity Controls System is also available with Simplicity Wirelessä Remote Monitoring, providing 24/7 real-time worldwide monitoring of Simplicity-controlled YORK light commercial units. When the Simplicity control board identifies a fault, the Simplicity Wireless system broadcasts the alarm code, equipment, and location via e-mail, pager, cell phone or fax.
The YORK Simplicity control board makes Simplicity Wireless a simple plug and play technology that harnesses Internet server and wireless technologies to communicate instantly without costly building automation systems, dedicated phone lines, central monitoring systems or special training. Building owners, facility managers or service providers are given early system warnings via pager, cellular phone, fax, or E-mail.
