NEW WIRED VARIANT ADDED TO DRAYTON DIGISTAT+1 RANGE
Drayton has launched a new, wired variant of its popular Digistat+1 room thermostat, offering easy temperature control.
Ideal for social housing applications and elderly customers, the wired Digistat+1 offers all the same features as the wireless RF version, including large buttons for easy temperature adjustment and a clear, easy-to-read digital display. The Digistat+1 also has a simple on/off function, plus a user-adjustable minimum/maximum temperature setting, which can be configured with a minimum setting to protect the vulnerable if required.
Users can adjust the temperature in 1.5˚C increments for accurate control, plus to assist with energy saving, the Digistat+1 has a ‘set-back’ feature that allows users to reduce the temperature to a set level when leaving the home and restore to the preferred comfort level on return to the property.
The new wired Digistat+1 offers a cost-effective thermostat solution for new builds, where wiring to the boiler can be carried out in the pre-decoration phase. It is also ideal for retrofit upgrades, when an existing wired room thermostat is being replaced.
Simon May, Product Manager for Drayton Controls, says: “With the launch of our new wired Digistat+1, installers now have a greater choice of room thermostats, especially for applications where cost and ease of use are important.
“The Digistat+1 can be operated using just four buttons, making it easier for customers to accurately control the temperature of their home. This not only creates a more comfortable environment, it also helps to reduce energy consumption, which is particularly important for older and vulnerable customers who could be facing fuel poverty this winter.”
The Digistat+1 wired and wireless thermostats are compliant with Part L of the Building Regulations in England and Wales, and Part J in Scotland.
