What is a MAD Device and how is it used?
A “MAD” or Mobile Access Device is a mobile commissioning and diagnostic tool that can be used to connect with individual or groups of fittings locally on a site. A MAD is a handheld unit the size of a mobile phone that can connect via Bluetooth to a mobile device (Phone or Tablet) and to fittings via an RF signal. Though not needed to commission a site it can be especially helpful for maintenance contractors and facility managers to perform function tests at individual fittings and check the live status of fittings locally after performing maintenance.
