The Word On Wireless Sensors

Image
For maximum flexibility in the implementation of heating controls in both old and new buildings, wireless sensor technology has become the key. This technology makes for ease of installation and ensures your heating control can monitor all elements of your system so it has all the information it needs to run your boilers most efficiently. A ready example is the Heat-Timer Wireless Network Sensor System for our platinum series controls. These wireless sensors can be mounted virtually anywhere. By adding new Transceivers/Routers to the wireless network, the system can get temperature, pressure and other data from areas that are otherwise difficult to reach. A major advantage of the Heat-Timer Wireless Network Sensor System is its Transceiver /Router capability to communicate and exchange data with other Transceivers/Routers on the same network, breaking many wireless barriers that existed in other systems. The entire system runs at 900MHZ for improved performance and range...

Avoid Costly Boiler Repairs

Image
Owners of Multi-Family Buildings or Hotels can spend tens of thousands of dollars every year on boiler system repairs and maintenance . Usually, the costs are high because the system actively fails before there is any money spent or any work done. Those owners who are diligent about maintenance may prevent some issues but then the cost of monthly or quarterly maintenance visits to your building becomes a significant cost as well. And at the end of the day, problems can still happen between these visits, no matter how diligent you are. It turns out that there is a middle ground between these extremes. You can both avoid the worst downtime scenarios in your building heating system, while being more efficient about where and when you spend money on boiler and heating system maintenance. In addressing this challenge, Heat-Timer controls can be a central piece of the puzzle. An Intelligent Control, for Intelligent Predictive Maintenance Heat-Timer® controls provide sophis...
