Heat-Timer’s Wireless Sensor Integration Just got a Big Upgrade

 

One of the most appealing parts of the Heat-Timer® Platinum Series is the wireless sensor connectivity that comes with our Building Net internet upgrade. There are thousands of clients who own an original, non-internet capable Platinum Series control and when they upgrade the control with our Building Net internet package they actually get two major elements:

  1. An Internet/Mobile ready control – The Building Net upgrade gives any platinum control the ability to be controlled via the internet through a simple browser connection to a web management portal, or via our free mobile app. In either case, reports, alarms, control settings, and real-time monitoring are all at your fingertips, wherever those fingertips may be.
  2. Wireless Sensor Integration – You can think of this as the second network access that is enabled by the Building Net upgrade. This internal Long Range network allows you to connect our wireless space sensors to the control, which by reporting temperatures in various parts of the building, enables a greater level of automated control and efficiency over your heating equipment. In the field, we see that this upgrade can result in an additional 15% further decrease in monthly heating bills over a Heat-Timer® Platinum Control without it.

Heat-Timer® highly recommends that platinum control owners who have not yet upgraded their control to our Building Net package, consider it as soon as possible. The upgrade is not cost prohibitive and the opportunity to reduce heating costs further, reduce boiler maintenance and repair costs, and provide amazing convenience and control from any mobile device, make this an ROI positive investment in every sense of the word.

And now Wireless Sensor Integration is Even Easier

With the introduction of Heat-Timer® Genesis last year, small building owners actually got their first look at an improved wireless sensor and sensor network. Utilizing newer, long range technology two major upgrades became part of the wireless sensor system:

  1. Sensor Range – A new implementation of the wireless sensor network has resulted in much greater sensor range capability. With new models, sensors communicate through as many as 8 floors without the need for repeaters.
  2. Sensor Battery Life – With a new sensor implementation that uses modern low power devices, our new sensors are capable of 10+ years of activity on a single set of AA lithium batteries. Remember too that sensor battery life is easily monitored through the web portal.

This extended range sensor network is now available for all Heat-Timer® Platinum Series Customers!  If you haven’t already purchased this upgrade for your Platinum Control, you now have even more of a reason!

How Heat-Timer® Controls Can Make Your Building Management System Better

A  Building Management System  (BMS), also called Building Automation System (BAS) is a system that allows building managers to monitor and control a building’s major mechanical and safety systems in one central, easy-to-use application. A BMS can be thought of as a distributed network of building systems supervised and controlled in one central platform. The network of field controllers and other system controllers are distributed throughout the building and communicate to the BMS through a local area network. Field controllers can be general purpose, supplied by the BMS integrator and used for simple applications like lighting control, ventilation fans and building access. With a BMS, these applications can also be separated by zone, floor or other combinations to yield optimal HVAC performance. Field controllers for mission critical systems like fire alarms and heating are specialized and can act independently, as well as under BMS control. The Heat-Timer® Platinum series boil

Water Safety For all Time

Because of regulations put in place after the outbreak of legionnaire’s disease in the 90’s, installation of Domestic Hot Water (DHW) systems were changed for the sake of public safety.  All DHW systems, whether storage based or tankless, must now meet the conflicting requirements of holding DHW at a minimum of 140°F (60°C) to comply with such standards as OSHA Technical Manual Section 3 Chapter 7, to combat Legionella growth, while delivering hot water at a temperature that prevents scalding injuries in sinks and other fixtures. For decades, commercial plumbing installers have embraced a 3 way mixing valve or “tempering valve” as the perfect solution to the dilemma. Early tempering valves were controlled manually with fixed setpoints, but in 2020 we have evolved to using motorized valves under the direction of a standalone electronic control station that adds flexibility, reduces energy use, provides alerts and alarms, and generally improves the safety of any domestic hot
