ATEN VK1100A Environment Control System Compact Unit — Ver 2
Overview
The VK1100A is a compact environment control unit within ATEN's VK Control System ecosystem, designed to bridge AV and building control infrastructure in conference rooms, boardrooms, and small-to-medium control installations. This Ver 2 revision runs firmware v4.2.413 (released 2026-05-18) and supports up to 16 licensed control points — enough headroom for a fully outfitted meeting space without requiring a larger controller chassis. The 8GB flash provides onboard storage for control project data and configurations. Its universal 100–240V AC, 50–60Hz input means no region-specific power procurement headaches across global deployments.
Compatibility
The VK1100A is designed for use within the ATEN VK Control System platform. It functions as a compact standalone controller for smaller AV control scenarios and integrates with ATEN's broader AV control and automation ecosystem. The 16-license ceiling makes it appropriate for single-room or dual-room deployments; larger installations requiring more licensed endpoints should step up to higher-capacity VK controllers in the same family. The onboard IR receiver LED supports IR learning for controlling third-party A/V devices — compatible with any IR-controllable equipment (displays, projectors, AV receivers) that you program via the VK control interface. The single USB Type-A port supports peripheral or device connectivity as required by your control system configuration. The 12VDC output port (1×2-pole terminal block, 1A max) can power a small external device or sensor — size your load accordingly, as 12W is the ceiling.
Installation Notes
Supports pole, recessed, and rack mounting configurations — verify your enclosure or rack-mount kit is specified for VK1100A before ordering. Operating humidity is limited to 0–80% RH non-condensing; do not install in environments with condensation risk. The semi-recessed reset button is intentional — accidental resets during normal operation are avoided, but a pointed tool is required for deliberate resets during commissioning. The 12VDC output terminal block is a 2-pole connector; use appropriately rated low-voltage wire and confirm downstream device draw stays at or below 1A. Review rack accessory options if integrating into a structured AV rack build.
