8.3 Typical Applications
Heating Up Your Cottage Or Cabin Remotely
If you keep your cottage or cabin open all year around, or if you
do not drain your pipes and add antifreeze to your plumbing, you
likely keep your furnace active when you are away but at a very
low temperature. The Sensaphone will provide an invaluable
service to you by keeping you updated to any change in the status
of your furnace operation. Prior to your arrival at your cottage
or cabin, you can remotely use your Sensaphone 400 to raise the
thermostat and increase the heat.
Most furnaces use a typical 4-wire (heat/cooling) or 3-wire (heat
only) thermostat. The Sensaphone can easily control these types
of thermostats. If your heating source consists of high voltage
electric baseboard heaters, you should consult a qualified
electrician or heating professional for proper installation of the
Sensaphone remote control facility. Electric baseboard heaters
may utilize either a low voltage (2-wire) thermostat or a direct
control high voltage thermostat. Only the low voltage thermostat
may be directly connected to the Sensaphone.
8.3.1 Single Thermostat Control
There are two installation methods that can be used to remotely
change the thermostat setting in your cottage or cabin; the
single thermostat method and the dual thermostat method (see
section 8.3.2 for details on the dual thermostat method). The
single thermostat method requires you to install a model with an
input to switch between two temperature settings. Sensaphone
