PRODUCTS & SERVICES Product of the month Mini-touchscreen air conditioning room controller enables client customisation With colour interface and 30 contrasting backgrounds, Toshiba Carriers new controller is a perfect match for any room T oshiba Carrier UK (TCUK) has developed a new mini-touchscreen air conditioning room controller with an intuitive interface that enables clients to add their own branding and corporate messages. Based on a clear, capacitive icon-driven touchscreen, the unit operates on the same lines as a high-end smartphone. It is designed to be easy to use for end users, and quick and simple to install for contractors. It uses the same two-wire connectivity as a standard controller, enabling it to be installed quickly without adding an external power supply on new projects, and as an upgrade on existing systems. TCUKs managing director for sales, David Dunn, said: Wall-mounted room controllers in hotels and ofces are the vital interface between the user and the air conditioning system. However, their design has not kept pace with changing user needs and expectations, often having complicated interfaces that confuse people and make the controllers difcult to use. The design of room controllers has not kept pace with changing user needs We went back to the drawing board and asked clients: What do you want from a wall controller? How can we make it as easy to use as possible, and a stylish addition to a room? We took the ndings and came up with a new approach to room-controller design. The new controllers contemporary look is designed to lend style to a room. The colour New Jung Pumpen high head drainage pump In deep basements, such as those often found in the City of London, normal drainage pumps are not adequate, because they need to be able to handle high head and ow rates.

Clients can also customise the interface with their own corporate images, colours and logos by uploading images via the units built-in USB connection. It enables the unit to blend in with any environment, while carrying the brand identity of the client to the heart of a hotel room or serviced ofce. Which icons and functions are displayed is determined during the installer set-up and according to the clients preference. This overcomes a problem common to some traditional controllers, in which all functions are visible but not all are accessible, leading to user frustration.
