AVOID CALLBACKS WHEN THE CLOCKS CHANGE WITH DRAYTON

On October 30th this year the clock go back, signalling the end of British Summertime (BST). It is a time when installers often receive calls from confused householders who don’t know how to adjust their timers and programmers. These costly, time-consuming callbacks can be avoided, with the real time clocks in Drayton’s LP programmers and Digistat+RF programmable room thermostats.

The real time clock automatically changes when the clocks go forward or back, so there’s no need for manual summer/winter time adjustment. This makes life easier for homeowners and is a good upsell angle for installers.

The automatic time change comes as standard on all LP electronic programmers, which feature on/once/timed/off switching options and up to three timing periods per day, from common 24 hour timings to separate 5 day/ 2 day programmes.

Drayton’s popular range of wireless Digistat+RF programmable room thermostats also features real time clocks. Users have a choice of up to 6 time/temperature events per day and the thermostats are exceptionally easy to install, use and programme.

Simon May, Product Manager for Drayton Controls, said: “The calls from householders can be as predictable as the clock change itself, especially in the autumn when many consumers are starting to use their heating again. By fitting controls with a real time clock, installers can save themselves time, money and hassle.”
