Webasto offers digital bunk thermostat

June 1, 2013

Webasto Thermo & Comfort North America is offering its new SmarTemp digital bunk thermostat. The SmarTemp control is designed to work exclusively with Webasto’s Air Top 2000 ST bunk heater to deliver ultra-precise temperature control while saving fuel, lowering emissions, ensuring compliance, and reducing maintenance costs.

With SmarTemp, drivers can dial in the temperature they want, and the device does the rest. Standard comfort adjustments are as easy as turning the dial right for higher temperatures and left for lower temperatures. Once set, bunk temperature is precisely maintained.

SmarTemp’s large, backlit LCD screen is easy to read and prominently displays the ambient bunk space temperature as well as corresponding set temperature. The screen brightens while in use and automatically dims a few moments after interaction. The dial has tactile feedback with a one-click-to-one-degree ratio that makes adjusting it easy to do in the dark, even without looking at the screen.

With SmarTemp’s controller logic, the user easily toggles between menu options with the push of a button, and once in the chosen menu, uses the dial to scroll up or down to the desired selection. Main menu preferences allow a user to quickly select the heat or ventilation mode, one of three languages, and Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature scales. Main menu options allow users to select continuous or timed run times, low-voltage disconnect thresholds, password protection, and preventive maintenance reminders. Integrated panels softly glow red when in heating mode, blue when in ventilation mode, and blink to indicate a diagnostic alert.
