  1. HeatingSave BEMS (Building Energy Management System) Controller

    Leave a Comment

    At the heart of HeatingSave is a four layer, a state-of-the-art, surface mount microprocessor controller with 8 temperature/light level/humidity analogue sensor inputs, 8 occupancy sensor/switch digital inputs and 8 mains relay outputs.

    Each relay can switch the mains (10 amps max.) or distribute mains (6 amps max.). An additional contactor unit can switch up to 30 amps. Each controller can have up to 16 sub-controllers, each adding 8 analogue and 8 digital inputs and 8 relay outputs.

    KEY FEATURES

    • 8 x Analogue Inputs
    • 8 x Digital Inputs
    • 2 x 0-10v DAC Outputs
    • 8 x Mains relay outputs NOTE: This can be extended using sub-unit (T3516) to a maximum of 64 Analog inputs, 64 digital inputs, 2 0-10V DAC outputs and 64 Relay Outputs. With the use of Zig 2.4 Mhz wireless mesh network Technologies, the number of inputs and outputs can be expanded to a number of device close to 65,000. However a number of 100 device has been our test limit.
    • Battery Backup in the event of mains failure
    • Local user interface materialised by a Keypad which allow users to have direct control on their heating zones and override the system if needs be
    • Override switch for main part of the system also provided

    FUNCTIONALITY

    • The T3520 needs to be connected to a local network to communicate with a T3521-H so that user setup can take place and that data can be backup up on an SD card.
    • If the T3520 and the T3521-H are connected to the internet, the data will also be saved on a secured server so that user can access multiple controller remotely using our dashboard.
    • The RS485 using Heatingsave private protocol is used to control and to retrieve inputs of sub-units. The maximum number of subunits is 8.
    • Analog inputs are mainly used for temperature sensor and light sensor.
    • Digital inputs are used for PIR, switch and metering Zig 2.4 Mhz wireless mesh network inputs and outputs regroup different type of sensor from temperature, humidity and CO2 but also digital input such as metering, switch and PIR.
    • The Keypad allow the user to directly control zone and changes behaviour of the software.
    • The keypad can also be used to override current settings to do maintenance on the system.

  4. HeatingSave digital input interface for fast pulses, 8 input channels, RS485 output

    Leave a Comment

    HeatingSave digital input interface for fast pulses with 8 input channels and RS485 output is an 8 digital input unit processing device that is used to replace switch inputs on the T3514, where the
    incoming pulse train is too fast. The output is RS485, where the T3517 sits on the blue network and talks to the controlling T3514. Typically, once per minute the T3514 collects the input pulse count from the T3517 and zeros the buffer ready to count the next minutes set of pulses.

    The T3517 has anti-tamper and battery backup needed and is typically used with an electric meter counting the pulses that indicate the kWhs used. The 100 amp, single phase meter commonly used by HeatingSave produces 1600 pulses per kWh used. This means that in an hour at full load the meter produces 38,400 pulses. This is 640 a minute. By using the T3517 instead of a switch input on the T3514, the T3514 is not overloaded with work.

    Up to 8 electricity meters can be connected to a single T3517. The T3517 can also be programmed to:

    1. Produce anti-tamper transactions
    2. Produce warnings of sudden and short demand pulses during the sample period
    (typically 1 minute)

    The HeatingSave TH-ROOM-1 room sensor replaces where your existing room thermostat was located. It continuously measures the temperature in your home and feeds this information to the HeatingSave controller. You will need to have at least one temperature sensor for each heating zone. The room sensor cannot be fiddled with, so there is no danger that someone will turn up the heating and just forget about it.

    KEY FEATURES

    • Interior use
    • Tamper detection
    • Thermistor
    • Analogue switches to select one of the switch resistances on Thermistor
    • Maximum cable run – 15 meters

    KEY FEATURES

    • Battery based (2x AA)
    • Grey IP65 enclosure
    • Wall mounted
    • Optional daylight sensor

  9. Temperature Sensor, Stainless Steel Probe, 10 metre cable

    Leave a Comment

    The T3595 is a high accuracy sensor probe that can be used for reading the temperature of the boiler flow and return pipes, hot water cylinders and even heating zones where the use of a probe sensor would be more discrete.

    The probe may be tie-wrapped to boiler flow/return pipes or may be attached to hot water cylinders and/or tie-wrapped to water supply pipes. The high-accuracy thermistor in the probe enables a fast thermal response, while the double shielded steel case delivers enhanced protection.

    The HeatingSave TH-ROOM2 room sensor replaces where your existing room thermostat was located. It continuously measures the temperature in your home and feeds this information to the HeatingSave controller.

    You will need to have at least one temperature sensor for each heating zone.

    The TH-ROOM2 room sensor has 4 programmable touch switches which allow you to “boost” the heating for a period or to tell HeatingSave that “I’m too hot” or “I’m too cold”. Then, HeatingSave will makes small adjustments to keep the household comfortable without wasting fuel and money.

    KEY FEATURES

    • Interior use
    • 4 LEDs for visual feedback
    • 4 Capacitive touch keys
    • Tamper detection
    • Thermistor

    • Maximum cable run – 15 meters

  12. Zig 2.4 GHz Wireless Mesh Network LUX Light Level Sensor

    Leave a Comment

    The T3551 is a digital LUX level Zig 2.4 GHz Wireless Mesh Network sensor that is factory calibrated and used to report the luminance in work places and similar environments. Calibration data is stored within the sensor.

    KEY FEATURES

    • Battery based (2x AA)
    • The T3551 is able to measure LUX levels between 1 to 150,000 LUX with accuracy as good as ±1% within calibrated levels typically between 1 and 2,000 LUX. Higher LUX levels
      have a degrading level of accuracy, typically between ±1% and ±5%.
    • The LUX level sampling periods are every second for ½ a mains 50Hz cycle. These readings are then used to create an averaged LUX level transaction every Zig 2.4 GHz Wireless Mesh Network reporting period, typically each minute.
    • The sensor electronics operate in an inherently linear mode and has two gain ranges that are either user or auto selected. These are the high gain mode between 1 and 2,000 LUX and the low gain mode between 100 and 150,000 LUX.
    • Low battery alert
