Automatic Time Set feature uses national radio signal to ensure Smartfit central heating control keeps accurate time.

Another Smartfit that adds to happy customers profitable installation and enhanced reputation.

BRACKNELL, UK, 19 SEPTEMBER 2002 -  An Automatic Time Set (ATS) option has been added to the controller at the heart of Honeywell’s Smartfit home central heating and hot water control system.  With the ATS option, the Smartfit Room Unit will have the most accurate clock in the house and the user or installer never need set its time again. 

The Smartfit ATS electronics recognise the national radio time signal transmitted from Rugby by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and sets the correct time and day.  Every day the signal is checked to ensure the Smartfit controller keeps to the precise time.  The Smartfit clock is adjusted automatically when the time changes between GMT and BST. 

Honeywell Smartfit has already revolutionised the heating control industry through its low voltage wiring and plug-in control connections that minimise the chance of errors and make wiring quicker and simpler.  The ATS option requires no extra wiring and the radio signal can be received throughout the British Isles. 

Smartfit’s simplicity of installation already increases installers’ productivity by removing the difficulty of wiring a home central heating system, reducing installation time and by providing diagnostic codes that the householder can read over the phone to simplify fault-finding in the event of failure.  With ATS, the installer will never get a call-back to reset the clock. 

All these features, coupled with the established Honeywell renown for quality and reliability, add up to happy customers, profitable installation and enhanced reputation.

Smartfit systems are supplied in Y-Plan and S-Plan options, whilst the stylish Smartfit controller is available in 24-hour and 7-day versions.
