Thermokon, a company that offers solutions for the air-conditioning and building control technology, has recently presented the new EasySens LON Receivers SRC04-FTT and SRC65-FTT.

According to the company’s press release, the new wireless LON receivers are equipped by a Neuron processor type FT3150 with external memory chip disposing of considerably more memory location for the application programmes compared to the FT3120. Depending on the installation requirements it can be selected between two different designs. Type SRC04-FTT (in the room sensor enclosure) with hard-wired external antenna is recommended for wall mounting. For installation in an intermediate ceiling the receiver SRC65-FTT (in the IP-65 enclosure) is available. The antenna is mounted at a place with good receiving conditions and is connected to the receiver via the 2,5 m long connecting cable with FME-connector.

Due to the fact, that both types are using the same software application, the behaviour and integration into the network is the same. The user can make advantage of predefined sensor objects to which battery- and wireless sensors or switches can be allocated individually. The wireless telegrams received are transmitted via standard network variables to controllers, control systems or switch actuators. In each sensor object the SNVT types can be individually adjusted with two of the output variables and can thus be adapted to different physical measured quantities. The allocation of the sensors to the individual output variables is made like the installation of LON devices. Each sensor or switch transmits a clear identification number in its wireless telegram. This ID can either be directly entered into the associated configuration property or it can be automatically saved by actuating the “learn button” at the sensor.
