Wireless heating control packs from Honeywell

Sundial RF2 packs from Honeywell are designed to facilitate a simple upgrade of heating controls to achieve energy savings and lower fuel bills.

Wireless heating control packs provide an easy and cost effective way to save energy.

85 per cent of domestic energy is used for heating and hot water.

Upgrading existing heating controls with energy efficient products is an easy and cost effective way to save energy and cut fuel bills - much more cost effective than replacing a boiler.

The controls save energy but do not affect home comfort, they match temperatures with the household's lifestyle.

The heating cannot be controlled properly without a room thermostat, yet 81/2 million homes do not have one.

Sundial RF2 packs from Honeywell are designed to facilitate a clean, quick and simple upgrade.

They include a wireless enabled timer and a wireless thermostat, so there are no control cables to run and no cable holes to drill.

There is no disruption and no damage to the decor.

The energy saving timer replaces the existing timer and the wireless thermostat works automatically.

There is no need to change the wiring to the rest of the system.

In many cases the timer slots in place of the old unit and on the existing backplate.

The controls and their large clear displays have been designed to be very easy to use by people of all ages and abilities.

They feature TPI (Time Proportional and Integral) advanced energy saving control, which provides more accurate temperature control than traditional controls, and matches boiler firing to the demands for heat from the heating system.

Tests by TACMA (The Association of Controls Manufacturers) show that under a single cycle steady state test, energy savings due to TPI control can be as much as 10 per cent compared with other room thermostats.

In addition, the set point can be lowered without loss of comfort, providing extra savings.

The thermostat in Honeywell Sundial RF2 packs has an ECO button: an energy saving feature which gives timed setback to reduce energy demand.

It is also a self learning facility that recognises how the heating system responds to its demand signals.

It then adjusts to match to the thermal characteristics of the building and the heating system to give better control.

The Honeywell thermostat provides hypothermia and frost protection: the installer can set them so even when in the off setting, the temperature comes on if the room temperature falls to a preset minimum temperature.

The current room temperature is clearly displayed in the extra large digital display.

A flame symbol indicates when the thermostat demands heat and the boiler fires.

The packs can be used with all types of boiler, with radiator and underfloor systems and zoned heating systems.

The two way RF wireless communication used by Honeywell is robust and reliable and is what makes installation so simple.

A signal strength test feature allows the installer to position the thermostat where signal reception is strong.
