Source 1® Introduces LX Series Thermostats for Residential, Commercial Applications

Online simulator demonstrates operational features of new thermostat

NORMAN, OKLA. - (May 8, 2009) - Source 1® (http://www.source1parts.com), the aftermarket arm of the Johnson Controls residential heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) brands, introduces the LX Series digital thermostats for residential and commercial applications.

Available for heat pumps or air-conditioning systems in 5+2 (weekday and weekend), 7-day or 1-day programmable and non-programmable models, the easy-to-operate LX thermostats feature a scrolling text display (in English, Spanish or French) and three control buttons. Under the front cover users will find additional options for complete comfort and control, including access to fan, program and outdoor temperature buttons, and the ability to control humidification, dehumidification and reheat.

Source 1 uses an online simulator available at www.source1thermostats.com to demonstrate these and other operational features of the new thermostat.

All standard and advanced programming can be accomplished on a PC using the thermostats’ optional USB programmer. In addition, a Comfort Call accessory incorporates wireless technology for remote monitoring and controlling the thermostats from any phone. Precise temperature control is assured with models that average as many as eight indoor/outdoor sensors.

The LX Series thermostats’ bi-color LED indicates a cooling or heating mode and features an adjustable backlit panel for different lighting requirements. The customizable panel can display service alerts and error messages along with the contractor’s name and phone number when service is needed.

Versatile LX thermostats can be switched from auto changeover to manual operation. Universal connections make the thermostats a perfect fit for any application.

In addition to Source 1, Johnson Controls will offer LX Series thermostats through its York®, Coleman® and Luxaire® brands. To learn more about LX Series thermostats, visit www.source1thermostats.com.
