Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:58:30 -0400

The White-Rodgers 70 Series 1E78-151 is a low-cost single stage programmable thermostat.

You can program this thermostat for five days together and then two days together (5+2). The display of the 1E78-151 is large and backlit, so that it is easy to read even in the dark. This thermostat is battery powered. The White-Rodgers 70 Series 1E78-151 is made for use with 24 VAC systems.

The Chamberlain LiftMaster Premium Series 3240 is a ½ HP Screw Drive garage door opener from the Chamberlain LiftMaster Premium Series. It’s the only Screw unit among its peers.

Lux TX1500E

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:58:21 -0400

The Lux TX1500E is a lower mid-cost programmable thermostat. The display of this thermostat is blue EL (Electro Luminescent), which a step up from the closely related TX500E's plain display. You can program the TX1500E for five grouped days and two single days (5+1+1), with four time periods over the course of each day where you can set the temperature, using the Speed Dial to make it quick and easy. This is different from the lower cost TX500E's 5+2 day programming, but the two thermostats still have much in common. The keyboard lockout feature of both thermostats allows you to keep unauthorized people from changing the temperature. Like many Lux thermostats, the TX1500E and TX500E are Energy Star approved and comes with a pre-programmed heating and cooling schedule that is promoted as saving you money on your energy bills (up to $180 for the TX1500E, up to $500 for the TX500E), should you choose to use it. The graphic filter usage monitor of both thermostats shows how much energy you are using, lets you know when to change the furnace filter, and allows you to set energy limits for periods of up to 365 days. The Lux TX1500E and TX500E are made for use with 24 VAC systems.

Chamberlain Power Drive (PD212D)

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:58:13 -0400

The Chamberlain Power Drive Model PD212D is a mid-grade garage door opener system that includes nearly identical features and specifications to its predecessor the Model PD210D. Extensions and upgrades include an additional remote control device bringing the total included remote controls to 2, and the similar 1/2 HP motor chain drive including a 6 year motor warranty outfitted with a slightly more durable rail system.

Chamberlain claims the device includes a "quick install" rail system that can be installed in a relatively short amount of time. A 100 watt lamp is integrated into the chain drive and automatically kicks on each time the device is activated. The PD212D model also includes built-in security features and technology to protect consumers from being injured by a closing garage door. The Chamberlain PD212D model garage door opener includes a "Protector System" safety sensor kit with infrared sensors which mount in the doorway and halt the device motor if the line of sight between sensors is broken. Additional device security features include a unique anti-burglary code system that refreshes the open code sent by the remote control to the main control panel and device each time it is used, a manual release handle in the event of power failures and a "PosiLock" theft system that keeps the garage door closed and locked when down.

Lux TX500E

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:58:20 -0400

The Lux TX500E is a low-cost programmable thermostat. This thermostat has many features in common with the closely related TX1500E. Both thermostats allow you to set the temperature at four time periods over the course of each day. Both are Energy Star approved, and come with a pre-programmed heating/cooling schedule that will reduce your carbon footprint and save you money on energy bills (the TX500E up to $500, the TX1500E up to $180), should you choose to use it. Both have a graphic filter monitor that measures energy usage, allows you to set energy usage limits for periods of up to 365 days, and lets you know when it is time to change the furnace filter. Both have a keyboard lockout system that prevents unwanted tamperers from changing your temperature. The main differences between the two thermostats are the fact that the TX1500E has 5+1+1 day programming whereas the TX500E has 5+2 day programming, the fact that the TX500E does not have soft touch buttons like the TX1500E, and that the TX500E's display screen is not blue EL (Electro Luminescent) like the TX1500E. Both the TX500E and the TX1500E are made for use with 24 VAC systems.

The Chamberlain Power Drive model PD610D is a mid-grade garage door opener system that includes the chain drive, wall-mountable "multi-function SoftGlo" control panel, and two "Multi-function Remote Control" devices. The entire PD610D device rail system is power by a 1/2 HP motor complimented by what Chamberlain claims to be an "industrial strength" rail system. The PD610D garage door opener system also includes a 200 watt light that automatically kicks on during device activation; the light in this particular model may be set on a varying delay.

The Chamberlain "Multi-function SoftGlo" and "Multi-Function Remote Controls" not only operate the garage door opener and integrated lighting system but can also be set to operate lights and small appliances within a consumers home.

The Chamberlain Power Drive PD4610D model also includes built-in security features and technology to protect consumers from being injured by a closing garage door. The main device security feature includes a "Protector System" safety sensor kit with infrared sensors which mount in the doorway and halt the device motor if the line of sight between sensors is broken. Additional device security features include a unique anti-burglary code system that refreshes the open code sent by the remote control to the main control panel and device each time it is used, a manual release handle in the event of power failures and a "PosiLock" theft system that keeps the garage door closed and locked when down.

Lux TX9000TS

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:58:20 -0400

The Lux TX9000TS is a lower cost programmable thermostat offering. This thermostat has many specs in common with the more expensive TX9000RF. Both thermostats allow you to program seven days at a time, each day different, with four periods throughout each day where you can pre-program different temperatures. Like the TX9000RF, the TX9000TS is Energy Star approved, and comes with a pre-programmed heating and cooling schedule that Lux promotes as saving you money and lowering your carbon footprint, should you choose to use it. However, the TX9000RF's schedule is promoted as saving you up to $500 on energy costs, whereas the TX9000TS's heating schedule is only promoted as saving you up to $180. The main difference between the two thermostats is the fact that the TX9000RF has a remote control and Speed Dial for quick programming of the thermostat, and the TX9000TS has a backlit touchscreen display and no Speed Dial. The Lux TX9000TS also has a touchscreen lockout code, so that you can stop unwanted tamperers from changing the temperature.

A full schedule for what temperature the house should be kept at can be programmed in for every day of the week, and Smart Response Technology manages both the heating and cooling systems to ensure that the house reaches target temperatures at the right time. Up to 33 percent of annual heating and cooling costs can be saved this way. While this thermostat is compatible with most systems, electric baseboard heating won't work here. Home owners are encouraged to install the unit themselves, and it comes with a 1-year warranty.

Kidde KN-COB-B

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:23:08 -0500

The Kidde KN-COB-B is a lower mid-cost carbon monoxide detector. This carbon monoxide detector is battery powered (three AA batteries are included), and so will continue to work even through a power outage. For quick and easy access to the batteries, the KN-COB-B has a snap-open cover on the back. There is a safety feature on this cover that makes it difficult to close if the batteries are not properly installed. Like all of Kidde's CO alarm products, this detector operates with the Nighthawk electrochemical CO sensor. When this sensor picks up carbon monoxide, you will be easily able to tell, thanks to the red LED alarm. The green LED light lets you know that the unit is on. To help ensure your carbon monoxide detector is in working order, the Kidde KN-COB-B is equipped with a test function, which tests CO alarm circuit operation and allows you to immediately silence the alarm when you are through.

White-Rodgers 80 Series 1F85-275

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:58:33 -0400

The White-Rodgers 80 Series 1F85-275 is an upper mid-cost offering in the 80 Series of programmable thermostats. This multi-stage thermostat is a step up from the 1F81-261 in that it allows you to control more rooms or areas with its heat pump setting (3 heated/2 cooled as opposed to 2 heated/2 cooled), and also has a multi-stage setting (2 heated/2 cooled). Another difference is that the 1F85-275, while it has the same five days and then two single days (5+1+1) programming option as the 1F81-261, also gives you the option of not programming it and making temperature adjustments as you need. However, the 1F85-275 does not have the additional option of programming for seven days on end, as the higher-end 1F85-277 does (though the two thermostats have the same specs in every other respect). This thermostat has the backlit display that the entire 80 Series of programmable thermostats has. Also like the entire 80 Series, the White-Rodgers 80 Series 1F85-275 is made for use with 24 VAC systems.

Honeywell 5853 Wireless Glass Break Detector

Thu, 13 Jan 2011 16:26:59 -0500

The Honeywell 5853 Wireless Glass Break Detector is compatible with all Ademco/Honeywell 5800 series devices and can be mounted on any wall or ceiling, offering a 25 foot range of operation. It is built around a FlexCore signal processor which can detect the sound of a variety of glass breakage including plate, tampered, wired, laminate glass and others. Sound processing happens in parallel not sequentially, so the speed of detection of sound frequency, amplitude and duration can occur 50% faster than with other systems. This also reduces the chance of false alarms as well. Although it carries a maximum range of 25' there is no minimum range, so you can place it as close to the glass as you wish. There are four sensitivity settings ranging from Max, Medium, Low and Lowest and LED lights will indicate when in test mode, trouble conditions and alarms. It will also transmit supervisory, status, low battery and tamper messages to the control panel automatically. Two 3V batteries are included and it can operate in temperatures from 14F/-10C to 122F/50C.

Features

Test mode can be activated remotely with FG-701 Tester
Four selectable sensitivity settings (Max, Medium, Low and Lowest)
