April 5, 2009 - Honeywell introduced a family of wireless temperature sensors to help contractors reduce labor and material costs over installing hardwired sensors, particularly in retrofit applications.TR20 wireless sensors, which integrate with a wide range of controllers, offer the benefits of conventional wired sensors, such as enabling fully automatic building automation control that improves energy efficiency. However, because the TR20 wireless sensors install without wires and conduits, they give contractors application flexibility.Applications from vintage hotels and historical buildings to modern office facilities all represent opportunities for contractors to save time and money with TR20 wireless sensors.Simple to understand, easy to installInstalling the wireless sensors is easy. Put up the wall module and wire the receiver to the controller: Communication starts automatically. No field configuration is necessary. Sensors and receivers are shipped together as a kit. Two kits cover most applications, which simplify contractor inventories. An LED indicator on the sensor immediately indicates whether the RF signal is strong, eliminating guesswork.All TR20 wireless sensors report space temperature. Selected models also offer setpoint adjustment and override. “TR20 wireless sensors let contractors provide all the benefits of wired sensors, but they install significantly faster, especially in retrofit jobs,” says Dave Molin, general manager, Honeywell Building Control Systems. “Going wireless also adds flexibility, preserves the building’s appearance, spares walls and trim, and eliminates the need to patch walls or fix trim damage.”Honeywell International is a $37 billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials. Based in Morris Township, N.J., Honeywell's shares are traded on the New York, London and Chicago Stock Exchanges. Honeywell Environmental & Combustion Control is part of the Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions business group, providing integrated product solutions in heating and heating processes, ventilation, cooling and refrigeration, air filtration, zoning, humidification, air conditioning, water controls and processes, electrical devices and systems, lighting control, buildings controls, switches, sensors and controllers. ECC’s technologies are found in more than 150 million homes, 10 million buildings, and a multitude of manufacturing plants around the world.
