Honeywell launches Smile weather-compensated heating control

(08/02/2008)

Honeywell has a new solution for weather-compensated heating control in buildings too small for a building management system, but too large for domestic controls. Its Smile controller uses the latest digital technologies and provides similar capabilities of the Honeywell Aquatrol 2000.

For users, Smile is simple to use with many comfort-enhancing, energy saving features. Smile has an ingenious user panel with a large back-lit LED display and a single rotary control that is also a push button. This makes it easy to select, change and confirm set values and times – and difficult to make mistakes.

For installers, its versatility satisfies the needs of many applications, yet provides excellent value for money. It can be used as a stand-alone controller or combined with other Smile units in a small network. Smile is also designed to be very easy to install and set up, with pre-loaded basic programs to reduce planning and start-up effort.

With built-in weather compensated control, Smile responds to outside temperatures, ensuring comfort and economy. Users can program and select separate heating profiles, such as "holiday".

Smile is suitable for use with all types of heat generators, including oil, gas and wood burning boilers, solar collectors and district heating exchangers. Two or more heat sources can be integrated in a Smile energy management system, for example, where boilers are supplemented by solar heating. Up to five Smile controllers can be wired together via a two-wire bus to form a control system, thus permitting a wide variety of different applications. Applications can be set up on-site using its dial.

Smile is supplied either for wall-mounting or panel installation. Spring terminals make cable connection easy without tools. Its wall socket offers a generous wiring space for easy wiring.
