Smart controls for building temperature management

R&D Electronics manufactures a complete line of Steam and Hot Water Boiler heating controls that are designed to handle the challenges faced by property managers and home owners with steam heat*.

Many times the heating controls in old buildings provide no control at all. Sometimes these controls consist of a time clock, a thermostat strapped to the return steam pipe, or some combination of the two. Building owners are faced with continually adjusting the thermostat and/or time clock, and still must deal with the constant heat loss created by tenants' open windows.

In contrast, our modern, high-technology controls have been developed by a graduate electrical engineer with experience as a building manager. They are based on the actual space temperature demands within a building, and offer:

• Savings of up to 30% on fuel costs
• Average payback of only 18 months
• Time proven reliability and performance
• Unconditional two-year warranty on parts and labor
• Service and support from the actual inventor of the controls

Whether a building has two apartments or 200, R&D's patented controls drastically improve heating operations by:

• Saving money - our controls monitor the average building temperature and precisely schedule setpoints, thereby reducing short cycling and fuel consumption by up to 30%.
• Keeping tenants comfortable and happy - our flexible "smart controls" can keep up with sudden temperature changes, eliminating "first it's too hot and then it's too cold" complaints.
• Allowing owners to monitor or read actual indoor temperatures so that they know what is happening within the building.
• Operating at maximum efficiency and in many instances Actually helping to balance the building - our outdoor reset keeps the supply temperature as low as possible while satisfying heating requirements. Our hot water controls with patented outdoor proportional setback reduces the risk of frozen pipes on cold nights while providing significant savings. In addition our temperature averaging system will help cycle the boiler long enough to allow all the radiators to fill with steam, eliminating the problem caused by competitive products of temperature drops in apartments farther away from the boiler.

And heating contractors will benefit from:

• An easy sale that results from having an easy to operate control that delivers all the benefits listed above.
• Our factory calibrated sensorswith built-in amplifiers that eliminate the need to run shielded wire.
• Warranties that cover product from the date of installation, not the date of sale. Most products come with a two-year warranty.
• Quick and easy repairs. It takes only a few minutes to replace a front panel. Our front panels contain all the major electronic components of the heating control. The front panel unplugs from the field wiring circuit board, leaving all the field wiring intact. Any defective panels can be exchanged on-site and returned to R&D Electronics for replacement within warranty.
• Stocking extra panels at reduced prices for one-stop repair/exchanges.
• A complete line of boiler controls for nearly all boiler applications and control price ranges.
• Custom fan coil thermostat panels that allow user to use his favorite low voltage programmable digital thermostat in his home, apartment or condo.

Choose from models which determine space temperature directly, with remote sensors within the building, or indirectly, with sensors outside.
