Johnson Controls launches new BACnet touchscreen thermostat
March 2017
Sensors & Transducers
Johnson Controls recently launched a new line of BACnet thermostats. The T8800 series is designed for growing the network thermostat market and features building automation system (BAS) integration capabilities that enable remote monitoring and programmability for efficient temperature control. The T8800 series support 2 or 4-pipe FCU applications.
The T8800 series allows companies to incorporate an aesthetically modern yet simple-to-use touchscreen device into their existing BAS and fan coil HVAC environments. Temperatures and timers can now be modified through the thermostat, enabling businesses to drive efficiency with regards to energy consumption, whilst delivering more flexibility for a comfortable and productive environment. An additional benefit is that the thermostat can be used with heating and cooling fan coil units.
Other features and specifications include:
• BACnet MS/TP communication: supporting BAS integrations for up to 100 devices on Metasys engines.
• Modern design: touchscreen featuring easy user interface.
• Wide applications for fan coil units: models available are on/off, proportional and 3-speed fan control.
• Energy saving: occupied/unoccupied mode selection.
• Accepts remote temperature sensors: connects to remote type II 10K NTC (e.g. TE-636S-1).
• BTL certified: BACnet testing laboratories protocol revision 12 (BTL), listed BACnet application-specific controller (BASC).
• Colour options: customised colour options for orders of 300 or more.
