Heating system controls based on temperature sensing capabilities UPONOR launches its Heat-only Thermostat with Touchscreen (A3100101) for precise temperature control of residential hydronic radiant heating systems based on operative temperature sensing capabilities. The thermostat can operate a heating system based on the air sensor measuring operative temperature, an Uponor Floor Sensor (A9010599) or a combination of both. Using fully automatic differential and pulse width modulation control functions, the thermostat operates to ensure each radiant zone is comfortable and energy efficient.
