tekmar is pleased to announce the tekmarNet® Thermostat 552 is now available for purchase. Orders will begin shipping as early as today.

The tekmarNet® Thermostat 552 is a communicating touchscreen thermostat designed for hydronic heating systems. The extra large touchscreen display allows you to easily adjust 7-day programmable schedules and room temperatures to optimize comfort and energy savings.

“Our newest touchscreen thermostat is designed with our customers in mind. Designed for simplicity and convenience, the tekmarNet® Thermostat 552 still has all the sophisticated engineering to enhance comfort but can now be controlled with just a simple touch.” Says Greg Leupin, Sales & Marketing Manager.

It operates a single zone of heating and has two auxiliary sensor inputs that can be assigned to measure room, floor, or outdoor temperature. An optional floor sensor allows precise heating of radiant floors by controlling the floor temperature and maintaining the desired room air temperature. Alternatively the room air temperature sensor can also be disabled to solely maintain a minimum floor temperature.

The 552 can be wired using 2 or 4 wires to connect to tekmarNet® zoning controls, or can be installed as a standalone thermostat using 3 wires. tekmarNet® enables the thermostat(s) to communicate back to a tekmar system control to ensure all components of the heating equipment are working together to operate at the highest possible efficiency.

An online simulator allows you or your customers to experience the thermostat user interface. The simulator is available at: www.tekmarcontrols.com/feature/552.html
