The SunStat View
SunStat View
We have recently introduced a new thermostat for our electric floor warming products: the SunStat View, a touchscreen programmable thermostat!
Let's take a look at some of the features.
When you first turn on your SunStat View, it will step you through initial setup and programming with the startup tutorial. It will prompt you to select your language, set the time and date, and pick your temperature format (either °F or °C). This will allow you to quickly get your system up and running. Afterwards you may then customize your program to your needs.
This is a fully touchscreen thermostat, with the only buttons being to turn it on and test the GFCI. All the rest of the programming and usage is done through the touchscreen. Using a touchscreen allows the SunStat to present more information, in an easier form, to you. This streamlines programming, and makes it easy to check and change your settings.
The View is fully seven day programmable. You are able to select any individual day of the week and set specific times and temperatures for that day alone. This allows for very flexible programming. Do you work from home on Tuesday and Friday? Now you can set those days separately from the rest of the work week. Perhaps your kid has soccer on Thursday evening, and you want the system to come on two hours later than every other day. With this SunStat View, you can do that!
Wondering what time you need to program the View so that your floor is warm by 7am? Wonder no more! With the included SmartStat feature, your SunStat View will learn how long it takes to warm and adjust the start-up time accordingly. You just tell it the times you'd like your floor to be warm and it will do the rest for you.
If you do not need to program your SunStat, and would just like it to hold a certain temperature until you wish to adjust it, you can do that as well. You are able to either have it hold indefinitely, or some amount of days ranging from one to ninety-nine. If you are at home for a couple days, just set the hold for as long as you need, and afterward the SunStat will resume your normal programming.
If you are curious as to how much the SunStat View has been running, perhaps to estimate the electrical cost of the system, there is a usage monitor that will allow you to see the hours the floor has been heating. You can choose to view the current day, last seven days, or last thirty days.
On the technical side, the SunStat View is protected by a built-in GFCI. What this means is that if something happens to damage your heating element, the SunStat GFCI will instantly cut power to the floor, protecting the system from further damage, and you from shocks, just like a GFCI outlet. A nice side effect of having a GFCI built into the SunStat is that you will have no need for an expensive GFCI breaker.
The SunStat View is covered by a three year warranty. If something in the SunStat fails, it is able to be returned to the point of purchase and a new one received.
