Venstar’s new ColorTouch™ Commercial touch screen thermostat is multi-functional, and simple-to-use, the company said. Designed for commercial installations, users can customize the appearance of the thermostats by displaying their business logos, advertisements or promotions or other graphics on the thermostat screens as a slideshow screensaver or as background wallpaper. ColorTouch Commercial also includes a 365-day holiday programmer, automatically updatable firmware, and added security for public display
An intuitive “Time Period” Scheduler automatically changes the temperature and mode for up to three periods per day, allowing for comfortable temperatures when the business is occupied, plus an energy savings mode for unoccupied periods.
In addition, every time the ColorTouch Assistant software is used, it automatically connects to Venstar’s ColorTouch Web site in the background and updates the software and firmware (the operating system for ColorTouch Commercial) at no cost, the company said.
Additional features include:
Daylight Savings mode, which automatically adjusts for daylight savings.
Language choices of English, Spanish or French.
Reminder alerts to change the filter and who to call for service.
Customizable faceplates, which users can choose to match their décor. Options include white (supplied), black, silver, and wood grain. A wall plate is available, if needed, to conceal the wall area where a larger thermostat previously existed.
Compatibility with most heating and air conditioning equipment and ability to control gas/electric or heat pump equipment, with up to 4 heating and 2 cooling stages.
