Sangamo’s new three-channel programmable thermostat with RF and Wi-Fi provides the means to operate and control separate heating zones within a residential property and in doing so increases efficiency and reduces energy use and utility costs. Easy installation and ease of programming and operation are at the heart of the new kit.
The Building Regulations which cover the energy performance of new and existing buildings have been subject to change in recent years with the approval of Part L (or Document L). Part L of the Building Regulations states that ‘for wet heating systems in new dwellings with a floor area of 150m2 or greater, a minimum of two independently controlled heating circuits should be provided’.
The new Sangamo Thermostat Kit is suitable for properties with two-zoned heating systems and is designed to help installers comply with the requirements of Part L Building Regulations where two zone heating is stipulated. The kit comprises two RF programmable room thermostats to control heating over two zones and hot water programming, and one receiver complete with three independent channels – two for heating and one for hot water. The system can be programmed and controlled directly or remotely via the ClickSmart+ app.
One of the main features which supports the new programmable thermostat’s energy efficiency lies within the programming capabilities. When a call for heating or hot water is made, it requires it to be within a specific time and below a specific temperature. For example, the ON period would be between 0800 and 1130 hours if the temperature is below 19°C. Up to six on and off periods per day can be programmed.
Another key energy efficiency feature is the OWD (Open Window Detection) function. This is enabled in the parameter settings and uses sudden changes in temperature or humidity to detect if a window is open and switches off the heating until the window is closed to save energy.
Sangamo is keen to emphasise how easy it is to install the kit, as well as to programme and operate it. Thermostats can be wall mounted and are supplied with a wall-fixing mount and a free-standing base for table top positioning. The thermostats control the receiver via radio frequency, so there is no need for cable runs, and they can be powered either by replaceable batteries or USB-C power source.
The receiver features a large backlit display screen that ensures full visibility in any light conditions and the intuitive touch button interface makes for easy and complete control. The sleek white design ensures the kit will blend with any interior.
