Net/X Network Thermostats with N2 Protocol

NetworkThermostat™ is proud to announce the introduction of its Net/X Network Thermostat family with N2 protocol and five versions of remote sensors. Designed for new, retrofit and replacement applications, two models handle both conventional gas-electric and heat pump systems. The GE22-N2 thermostat is a Gas/Electric model which can control one or two stages of heating and cooling and is a direct drop-in replacement for the Johnson Controls™ TEC1101-1 and TEC1103-1 N2 thermostats. The HP32-N2 thermostat is a Heat Pump model which can control up to three stages of heating and two stages of cooling, and is a direct drop-in replacement for the TEC1102-1. The HP32-N2 works with both standard and dual-fuel heat pumps. By adding the optional NT-ODT outdoor sensor, the HP32-N2 will also employ high and low balance points for additional control in cold weather applications. Other sensors include the NT-IDS indoor sensor, NT-DUCT return air sensor, NT-SUPPLY supply air sensor and the NT-FS flush mount sensor.

High Performance OEM Pressure Sensor is Robust by Design

Moorpark, CA – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) and an operation of Schneider Electric, has recently introduced two new sensors which utilize Kavlico’s next-generation ceramic sensing technology. The P500 sensors can be specified with a brass housing for pressure ranges of 0-100 through 0-500 psi absolute or sealed gage or with a stainless steel housing for pressure ranges up to 750 psi. The sensors require a 5 Vdc power supply and provide a linear amplified analog output of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc proportional to pressure. Ideal for high volume applications, these sensors are small in size yet quite robust by design. Capable of withstanding high overpressures, the sensors are temperature compensated, have excellent EMI/RFI and ESD protection as well as superior output signal stability. The sensors may be specified with an assortment of electrical and process connections including Schrader deflators for the refrigeration market. The sensors carry the CE certification mark as well as being compliant with European RoHS directives.
