A new range of standalone thermostats has been launched by Siemens to offer which, the company says, feature advanced functionality in an elegant design to provide comprehensive heating and/or cooling control for the evolving needs of a wide range of residential and light commercial applications.
Available in landscape and portrait orientations in a smooth, white design, the RDL standalone room thermostats feature responsive touch button controls with a high contrast e-paper display to ensure reliable operation, clear legibility and reduced power consumption.
So far four new options have been launched: the RDL211 (standalone portrait version), RDL211/H (standalone landscape version), RDL211RF.SET (wireless version) and RDL131RF.SET (OpenTherm version using wireless communications back to the boiler interface unit). The first three can be used in heating only or heating and cooling applications while the latter is for heating only. Additional options will be rolled out later to further extend opportunities.
They can be used in reversible heat pumps and radiant floor cooling/chilled ceiling, as well as traditional gas boiler systems.
Commissioning is ensured through single-tap device configuration via a smartphone app or through a thermostat user interface. The thermostats can be wall-mounted via a mounting plate or freestanding with a table stand.
