Controls and peripherals

Sontay, which specialises in field controls and peripherals, has launched its catalogue for 2012. It continues with the company’s emphasis on saving the installer money, with many of the products having been designed, sourced and developed to save time and money in installation. For example, a SonNet wireless temperature sensor system can save up to 30% on total installed cost compared to a traditional wired system.

Another recent development is the Tridium NiagaraAX driver for SonNet network radio receivers — opening up the system to BMS protocols such as BACnet, LonTalk and Modbus — to make life easier for the installer.

Sontay has extended its warranty from two years to three. The catalogue can be downloaded from Sontay’s web site, and it is available as a hard copy.
