PALATINE, Ill. — May 16, 2008 — Schneider Electric announces the release of its new Square D® Clipsal® Single Zone and 4 Zone Programmable Thermostats, as new additions to its Square D Clipsal lighting control line. The Thermostats allow for control of a wide range of heating and cooling system types, including reverse cycle (or heat pump) systems, fan coil unit systems, hydronic systems and evaporative cooling systems. The easy-to-use, backlit operator interface includes fan speed control, setback or economy mode, and an integral LCD to display the current temperature and mode of operation.
The Thermostats operate as a part of the Square D Clipsal C-Bus™ network, allowing temperature set points to be viewed and changed from elsewhere in the network on other input devices such as keypads and touch screens. “We’re expanding the system’s control over other components in a home or business,” said Brad Wills, director of Installation Systems & Control, Schneider Electric. “As a leading global provider of integrated and automated lighting and control systems, Schneider Electric is uniquely capable of connecting such components into one interface for easy use and installation.”
Square D Clipsal wall-mounted, Single Zone Thermostats include support for control of HVAC units via C-Bus or the internal HVAC relays and allow the user to manually set the temperature and mode of operation (heating, cooling or ventilation). Clipsal 4 Zone Programmable Thermostats include on-board, seven-day HVAC time scheduling (user-programmable) manual fan speed control, setback mode and an easy-to-use interface, comprising an LCD, manual control buttons and a rotating dial with an integral press switch. From the unit, the user can manually adjust the temperature set point, the mode of operation (heating, cooling, ventilation) and time schedules.
Square D Clipsal Thermostats will be available Q2 2008 and are available with white, black or stainless steel sleek and modern faceplate options. For more information about Square D Clipsal product offerings from Schneider Electric, call 1-888-SQUARED or visit www.squaredlightingcontrol.com.
