Niagara 4 Operator Training

Niagara 4 Operator Training is a course that teaches the basics of the Niagara 4 Framework and how to operate the Niagara 4 building automation system.

The Niagara4 Operator Training Class is the perfect place to start for students who have no knowledge of what the Niagara Framework is or what it can do, but who want to change that! This class is geared towards people who have the Niagara4 system installed in their building(s) and want to know how to do basic tasks, like changing schedules, adding special events to those schedules (holidays), reading and understanding alarm data, reading and understanding history data, creating reports and manipulating graphics. The class will also present information on capabilities of a Niagara4 station that customers (end users) may not be aware of but should be aware of. The ultimate objectives of the class; help end users use the system installed by a contractor and for that end user to be able to talk on a more educated level with their contractor.
