SCS317 7 Day Wireless Programmable
Room Thermostat
Programmable room thermostats are widely recognised as one
of the best ways in which to control central heating. The SCS317
programmable room thermostat has a large display and intuitive
user interface, making it easy to set up and use. SCS317 uses a
sophisticated time proportional integral (TPI) algorithm for
accurate temperature control and energy efficiency.
