A well-designed central heating system allows you to maintain thermal comfort in the building with the lowest possible energy consumption. Expenditures allocated for this purpose constitute a huge part of the household budget, so it is not surprising that many people try to save on it in various ways. Meanwhile, it is worth realizing that the basis for optimizing heating costs are properly selected temperature controllers. Learn the most important information about these devices and see what makes the innovative Auraton Pictor DS touch thermostat stand out!
From this article you will learn:
- how does the temperature controller work,
- what are the advantages of the Auraton Pictor DS room regulator,
- what to consider when choosing a thermostat.
Operation of the temperature controller
A room thermostat is a device or system of devices used to control heating elements that are part of a central heating installation. They are installed in easily accessible places, so users can conveniently adapt the system to their current needs. The regulator is equipped with a display and buttons allowing you to enter selected settings. Modern models take the form of touch devices with a special sensor that allows automatic temperature control.
The temperature controller – wired or wireless – is connected to the heating device controllers. Thanks to this, the user can quickly and easily set parameters such as temperature and operating time. There are many different thermostats available on the market. Some of them are simple devices that allow for basic configuration, while others allow you to create advanced periodic programs.
Auraton Pictor DS electronic temperature controller – functions and advantages
Auraton Pictor DS is a recessed, wired controller equipped with a modern touch panel that allows you to set the temperature with minute precision. The device can work with a gas or electric boiler, as well as with foils, mats and heating cables. The user has at their disposal as many as 6 temperature programs per day, arranged in 3 weekly schedules. Additionally, it can set an independent holiday and manual temperature.
The advanced option allows you to choose from the temperature control range - maximum (in the range of 20 - 70 degrees Celsius) and minimum (in the range of 1 - 10 degrees Celsius). Auraton Pictor DS has 2 sensors. One of them monitors the room temperature, and the other is responsible for protecting the floor against overheating and possible damage. Interestingly, the device is also equipped with a cooling function.
To sum up, the Auraton Pictor DS touch thermostat has the following advantages:
- 2 temperature sensors - air and floor,
- 6 independent temperature programs per day,
- FrostGuard function that prevents the installation from freezing,
- holiday mode, allowing you to set an independent temperature for a period of up to 30 days,
- LED touch control panel,
- minute accuracy of temperature settings,
- cooling function,
- easy installation in standard flush-mounted boxes.
As you can easily guess, the use of the Auraton Pictor DS thermostat allows you to reduce thermal energy consumption, which significantly reduces heating costs. Optimization of installation operation, which also has a positive impact on the natural environment. The system does not generate unnecessary exhaust gases, thanks to which the household reduces its emissions of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances into the atmosphere.
Auraton Pictor DS is a very simple way to intelligently manage the operation of the heating installation. The temperature controller is easy to use and highly effective. Just one configuration is enough for the device to operate completely automatically. This obviously translates into the comfort of tenants.
What should you consider when choosing a temperature control device?
Before purchasing a temperature controller, it is worth considering what parameters of the device you should pay attention to. Read the list of key issues for a thermostat and you will immediately understand why Auraton Pictor DS is one of the best choices you can make:
- Functionality – the cheapest thermostats on the market are only used to set the temperature. Only the best devices of this type have practical additional options, such as programming automatic schedules.
- Compatibility – this is one of the most important parameters in the case of thermostats. Not every temperature controller can work with all heat sources. Some models are designed only for coal or gas boilers, others allow you to control electric heating systems. You should also remember that a traditional furnace may require a different thermostat than, for example, underfloor heating.
- Installation method – both wired and wireless controllers are available on the market. Of course, the installation of the latter is easier, but it is worth bearing in mind that they are more susceptible to various types of interference. Cables routed under the plaster guarantee failure-free communication between the device and the boiler controller.
- Operation – the more readable the thermostat's interface, the easier it is to use. Older types of temperature control devices have knobs or buttons, while new ones are equipped with a touch panel.
- Programmability – not every room regulator allows you to set any temperature from the range available to the user. The operation of non-programmable models is limited to selecting one of the factory operating ranges of the heating device.
- Regulation accuracy – thermostats available on the market differ in both the precision of settings and operation. A good temperature controller allows you to set the selected program with accuracy down to the minute, while a standard product of this type works, for example, in hourly periods. On the other hand, we are dealing with measurement errors that should not exceed 1 degree Celsius. However, a high-quality room regulator will limit it to approximately 0.2 degrees.
- Temperature range – this is a parameter that has a huge impact on the comfort of using the thermostat. The standard temperature regulator allows you to set it in the range of 5 -30 degrees, which in most cases is completely sufficient. However, users with higher requirements should choose a more advanced product.
