Carrier Enterprise Introduces Remote Wireless Temperature Monitoring and Control for Founten Energy Management Systems

Proprietary new accessory adds remote temperature sensing, monitoring and alarm/notification capabilities for a variety of applications

Orlando, FL - February 26, 2014 - Carrier Enterprise (CE), the leading provider of temperature and energy control technologies for commercial, hospitality and residential properties, has announced the release of its proprietary Founten Temperature and Alarm Sensor: the FS-TA1, an add-on accessory that adds wireless remote sensing and alarm notification abilities to its Founten FS-STAT-32AC and FS-STAT-32ACH models.
 
Fundamental to the accessory's design is the ability to sense and read temperatures in previously unreachable areas, due to its wireless communication protocol and easy installation. Its unique flexibility also provides end users with the option of using the device as either an external temperature probe for monitoring and control, or as an alarm notification generator via instant communication through the Founten Site Manager.
 
"As the industry leaders in HVAC/R innovation, we always work to ensure that our products reflect the latest benefits made available by advancing technology," said Douglas Mackemer, director of parts, supplies and equipment for CE. "This latest addition to our Founten Wireless Energy Management System not only fills a void in the market for advanced wireless remote sensing and notification abilities, but converts the system as a whole into a fully comprehensive and unmatched temperature management solution." 
 
[an error occurred while processing this directive] As an external temperature probe, the accessory allows for remote sensing that can operate at a distance of up to 500 ft. away from a thermostat, an advantage that permits installations to be placed in non-visible areas. The sensor can also detect temperatures within enclosed refrigerator, freezer and walk-in units.
 
If used as for its alarm notification abilities, the FS-TA1 can be outfitted with any 1 of 3 unique accessory probes with the potential to address a wide range of applications. With the FS-Probe-1, common applications can include the monitoring of return air or inside closed duct systems. FS-Probe-2 with its weather resistant and waterproof covering, provides for outside air or direct water temperature readings. For those wanting to detect boiler, chiller pipe or line set temperatures, the FS-Probe-T3 with its copper casing, can accurately measure readings from virtually any metal surface or pipe. In addition, water sensors can be integrated for alarm notification of rupture, overflow or back-up situations.
 
The FS-TA1 is available with 24/7 email customer support or Monday thru Friday, 9-5 PST live support. The accessory guarantees a simple installation process and comes with a three-year warranty.
