Tom Lorenz: 我负责Sensi Touch 2温控器和EIM模块的开发。该系统通过高清显示屏上的菜单进行设置,非常直观易用。我们进行了用户友好性测试,以确保安装人员能够轻松设置。EIM模块具有内置传感器,可用于热泵的平衡点和切换,无需额外布线。该系统与Whoosh和AirThings等IAQ监测器集成,以控制空气质量,例如启动循环风扇以过滤颗粒物。无线连接非常可靠,我们进行了大量的测试,以确保其在各种条件下的稳定性。我们还特别关注安装的便捷性,力求让安装过程尽可能简单快捷。 此外,我们对EIM模块进行了严格的测试,包括在Thermotron测试室中进行极端温度(-40°F至130°F)测试,以确保其在各种气候条件下的可靠性。在设计过程中,我们选择了合适的元件以最小化热量产生,并优化了传感器位置和外壳颜色,以提高温度测量的精度。 总而言之,Sensi Touch 2温控器和EIM模块的设计目标是易于安装、使用和维护,并提供可靠的性能。 Randy Ruiz: 我是Emerson的首席工程师,参与了Sensi Touch 2温控器和EIM模块的硬件设计和测试。我们使用915MHz协议,该协议经过了十年的验证,并经过了严格的测试,以确保其可靠性。在设计过程中,我们特别关注天线设计,以最大化无线范围并最小化信号损失。我们与第三方专家合作,设计了最佳的天线,并进行了大量的测试,以确保其与Redlink等竞争产品的性能相当或更好。 EIM模块的温度传感器经过精心设计,以最小化热量产生和提高测量精度。我们使用了锁存继电器,以减少热量产生,并优化了传感器位置,以最大限度地减少热量影响。此外,我们还选择了外壳颜色,以最小化太阳能吸收。EIM模块的测试包括在NEMA和Thermotron测试室中进行极端温度测试,以确保其在各种气候条件下的可靠性。 我们的目标是提供一个可靠、易于安装和使用的产品,让安装人员能够快速高效地完成工作。 Ben Reed: 作为HVAC Know It All和measureQuick的技术营销专家,我关注Sensi系统如何与IAQ监测器集成,以及如何简化安装过程。Sensi系统使用温度和湿度变化率来做出控制相关附件的决策。它允许用户设置通风限制,例如根据室外温度开启或关闭通风以实现“免费空调”。 在与IAQ监测器的集成方面,Sensi系统主要通过云端到云端的API与IAQ监测器集成,以解释其数据。这使得Sensi系统能够与各种IAQ监测器兼容,满足不同用户的需求。 此外,我还关注安装过程的简易性。Sensi系统通过高清显示屏上的菜单进行设置,并经过了用户友好性测试,以确保安装人员能够轻松设置。这减少了安装过程中的复杂性和错误,提高了安装效率。
