Overview

The Resonate family of temperature and relative humidity sensors have been designed to provide a reliable and simple method to set up intelligent automation of interior spaces for energy savings.

The Resonate family sets a new bench mark in temperature accuracy and update speed of temperature changes. The units are accurate to 0.3°C and 3% relative humidity. These sensors are suitable for Variable Volume Temperature (VVT) or Variable Air Volume (VAV) forced air systems.

Batteries are not required for everyday operation due to the advanced solar energy harvesting and power management features of the sensor. Upon installation, the sensor will operate with exposure to 200 Lux (20 fc) in as little as 2 minutes.

The RTS is capable of operating up to 200 hours in darkness from maximum charge levels. The RTS sensor incorporates our latest diagnostic and configuration features to ensure reliable communications and solar harvesting capability. The RTS supports Range Confirmation® technology whereby simple button press and hold sequences result in LED indication of signal strength. Solar energy harvesting level indication under existing light levels is also provided on demand through LED indication.

These built-in features assist the installer to position the sensor and be confident of its operation without using separate light meters and signal strength indicators.
