Wireless Temperature Sensing System from Johnson Controls Offers Greater Versatility

MILWAUKEE - - The TE-7700 Series RF Wireless Room Temperature Sensing System from Johnson Controls, Inc. is now available for both analog and zone bus interface, making it compatible with a wide range of digital controllers in HVAC applications.

The TE-7700 System is ideal for installations where building aesthetics would normally hinder hardwiring, such as surfaces constructed of marble, granite, brick or concrete. The result is quick, economical and low maintenance installation and relocation.
