C-Bus Thermostats Released for sale

Hi All

Today we finally released the C-Bus Thermostats for Sale. This has been a long haul, but with the complex nature of such a control device, the testing needed was exhaustive and we couldn't take any chances

Please enjoy

 

All the different models ??

 

Yes, both versions, with and without relays in all of the finishes outlined in the Trade Pricing Guide.

 

thank god

any info on testing? which systems were controlled successfuly, which not?

 

Yes please on this info. I hate being a position where I have to test something like this out on someone else's system just to prove to them it works because you don't know either.

and the blind relay???????

relese date for the blind relay would be also good

 

Because this product is controlling HVAC with 'RWG' type switching relays, it compatability should not be an issue with systems that use this type of control interface. Remember that quite a few systems don't allow for this method of control so it's wise to check. Regardless, I'll post some datasheets shortly(assuming they are not on the CIS site already).

Cheers

 

"RWG control" in google gives mostly links on C-Bus thermostat announces

 

It's time to find their place in http://www2.clipsal.com/cis/technical/product_groups/cbus don't you think?

 

Here is an example of a heater that uses RWG


Not that they say this anywhere !!!!!

ashleigh do you agree, that exect brands which use RWG would be very helpful for integrators?

as an example - at the moment i cannot get information if any Daikin system may be controlled by RWG

 

Data Sheets

Product sales data sheets on the thermostats as promised

cheers

 

Could someone help me with the following.

When will the remote sensors be available for the unit.

Can the 4 zone unit function with out them i presume it cannot as it wont know the temp in the other zones.

Can each of the 4 zone be set back / and or switched off independently.

What purpose does the HVAC application have in relation to this product do you need both or could you use the hvac app and temp sensors work without the thermostat.

Can the unit without relays use an existing cbus relay to control the heating

 

If there are no temperature sensors assigned to a zone then you can assign a zone to use the local temperature sensor in the thermostat. Until the remote sensors are released the only way to monitor the temperature in the remote zones is to place a single zone thermostat (5070THB) in the remote zones.

The C-Bus Thermostats communicate using the C-Bus HVAC Application. This application defines all the messages within that appication. Newer versions of firmware for devices such as touchscreens, PACs, etc, have (or soon wil have) support for this application also.

The unit can use existing C-Bus Relay units to control the plant. You simply put the C-Bus Relay unit on the HVAC Application (instead of Lighting) and assign the desired groups to the channels.

 

Most of these I can reply to without checking spec (and my failing memory... it's Friday and it's been a busy week)

Shortly.... a minor last minute adjustment. Should be within the next 7-10 days

Yes it can, but as you pointed out, it will not know the temps of the other zones (that's if you want to know their temps... you may use this unit in the return air area and use the scheduling for the zones). It is deisigned to work with remote sensors which can also be the single zone thermostat too which gives you local control... lots of options.

Switched off yes... setback... no, not per zone, only per collection of zones (system)

The temp sensor will work on a number of applications (only one at a time though). It can work with or without the Thermostat. It will broadcast temperature which you can display on a touchscreen, use in logic (where you can do setpoints etc if you want) or use in the old stand-alone method...... the old analogue sensor worked.

Yep. That's what they are designed to do. So if you are controling panel heating, in-floor heating or maybe in-ceiling heating, these are perfect.

Hope this helps

Cheers

 

This is sad... (or dedicated C-Bussers)... three of us responding to a post at the same time in a Friday night. We need to get lives

Notice the similar responses?
