Wireless Sensors Just Got a Big Upgrade

 


Heat-Timer© has been selling its Internet Heating Controls into boiler rooms for well over 2 decades now. The newest Internet Controls continue the legacy of energy savings that made Heat-Timer© the leading purveyor of boiler control products in the country.

But we have never been a company to rest on our laurels. Our latest upgrade to our internet controls solves problems of remote control and monitoring through phone and internet, as well as integration of wireless sensors that improve the operational efficiency of our control. With the new sensors reporting temperature movement from strategic locations around your building, you can as much as double the amount of money you save on heating bills in your apartment building every month.

Why do the New Sensors Make Such a Difference In Boiler Control Efficiency?

Many decades ago, Heat-Timer© pioneered the use of “outdoor reset”. With knowledge of outdoor temperature, and an internally wired temperature sensor, our control anticipated the heat loss of your building.  Resulting in using as little fuel as possible while providing maximum, consistent resident comfort.

So how do we improve on that?

For starters, Heat-Timer’s current sensors are completely wireless. This allows us to use more of them placed strategically throughout a large building to monitor temperature. More data points means better ability to analyze thermal loss, control zones and prevent hot and cold spots in the building. We generally recommend 1 sensor for every 4 units (25%) in your building. More comfort, more intelligence, saving you more money on fuel.

Our latest wireless sensors also use a proprietary frequency and ultra-long transmission/ reception hardware that is also ultra low-power. We’ve seen this tech work through a solid 8 floors in a building without a repeater. For most buildings, this makes installation and setup extremely easy.

Our latest incarnation of sensors also uses a low power design. Running on two AA lithium batteries, a sensor can last 12+ years or more before needing to replace the batteries.

If you haven’t explored our BuildingNet (Internet) Upgrade for our controls with our Long Range Wireless sensors then you are literally leaving money in the boiler room.

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

  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: 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. 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

Heat-Timer® ETV/ETS – Now Saving Time as well as Money..

Image
  For plumbing professionals, time IS money.  The longer a job takes, the longer your guys are tied up and can’t get to the next job. Or you have to bid the expected time so high that you never get the job in the first place. Heat-Timer® has been helping commercial plumbers for decades by providing them high quality solutions for domestic hot water systems. The most current evolution of our 3-way mixing valve, we call our ETV or Electronic Tempering Valve . This motorized mixing valve is driven by a control module that utilizes an immersion sensor to control the mix of hot and cold water to maintain a desired mixed outlet temp +/- 2 degrees. With our computer guided ETV running the show, you can keep your hot water supply heated hot enough to be safe from bacteria (See Table Below) like Legionella, while delivering a perfectly controlled hot water temperature to end users.  Heat-Timer’s ETV Now Delivered Inside the ETS The Heat-Timer Electronic Tempering Valve (E
