Smatrix Pulse includes one or multiple Controllers, an optional Communication Module (for Internet and smart home connectivity), an Antenna (for systems without Internet or smart home connectivity), an Expansion Module, a Relay Module, Digital Thermostats, Mini Sensors, and Actuators. The Controller receives data from the Digital Thermostats and/or Mini Sensors to operate actuators based on system parameters. One Controller can operate up to six (6) thermostats and eight (8) actuators. An Expansion Module adds an additional six (6) thermostats and six (6) actuators.

The Smatrix Pulse Controller, which is typically located near the system manifolds in the mechanical room, can operate up to six thermostats and eight actuators. The Smatrix Pulse system reduces the peak power needs and energy usage, too. While eight actuators can be opened at the same time, the Smatrix Pulse system queues them up and opens them chronologically for increased energy efficiency. Other smart thermostats aren’t designed specifically for radiant heat, which means there is a potential limit on zones from the same IP address.

Smatrix Pulse Relay Modules are handy for connecting to a conventional forced-air system with air conditioning or a fan coil to one of the thermostats in the Smatrix Pulse system. They are also helpful for wiring back to the mechanical room when a zone pump in a garage application is an issue. Wireless relays add the two extra output relays for additional output options, and other radiant controls don’t necessarily work well with air-side integration for heating and cooling.

Knobbed mats are becoming a more widely used option for radiant floor heating due to their ease of use. Available with or without insulation built in underneath, Fast Trak™ mats come preformed with knobs throughout the surface which make it easy to “snap” the pipe into place. Simply adhere the mats to the concrete slab or wood subfloor and press the pipe between the knobs (either by foot or by hand). After the pipe is installed, it is then covered with a lightweight gypsum overpour to create a smooth, solid surface for the flooring.

With state-of-the-art wireless technology, you have the freedom to place thermostats anywhere in the home. And with the system’s unique autobalancing feature, you can enjoy faster system reaction times for more immediate comfort along with greater energy savings. This is because Smatrix Pulse is constantly learning and gathering data from inside and outside your home to provide optimal comfort and energy efficiency.

Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat, so using Joist Trak™ aluminum heat-transfer plates is an effective way to install a high-performing radiant floor heating system when installation on the surface of the floor is not an option. The plates fasten to the underside of the subfloor between the joists and feature a channel down the middle where the piping locks into place. Note that after installation, it is important to add a minimum R-11 fiberglass insulation into the joist bay snug against the plates to prevent downward heat loss.

The maximum distance through typical building construction materials is 98 ft. (30 m) from the Controller. And with the system’s unique autobalancing feature, customers can enjoy faster system reaction times for more immediate comfort along with greater energy savings.

Featuring XPS foam laminated with aluminum for a lightweight solution with exceptional heat–transfer capabilities, Xpress Trak™ is the newest radiant panel system from Uponor. With a low profile and compressive strength of 49 psi, Xpress Trak is ideal for spaces like basements where homeowners prefer a lower floor profile and a retrofit application. With straight runs and return bends already molded into the panel, Xpress Trak eliminates the need to staple down piping, and its natural moisture barrier also eliminates the need to caulk edges or grooves, increasing productivity on each job.

With a thickness of only ½”, Quik Trak® radiant wood panels are an ideal solution for remodel and retrofit applications. The panels simply fasten to the plywood subfloor and feature a groove down the center for the piping placement. An aluminum sheet on the bottom of the panel increases the heat transferability. This method offers several advantages in addition to the minimal increase in floor height, including no moisture from concrete overpours and increased BTU output potential over joist heating.

Embedded tubing secured to foam is ideal for garages. In new builds, embedded radiant heating in the garage takes the edge off on cold winter days and can melt snow and ice off vehicles. These systems make garages comfortable year-round and are often customers’ favorite part of construction. Since heat energy is stored in the concrete slab instead of a forced-air system, opening the garage door means the heat sticks around longer.

Single-zone snow melt controls feature a microprocessor and sensor to effectively melt snow and ice from exterior surfaces. They include a 10K universal sensor and outdoor air sensor and outdoor air sensor for basic control and operation.

The Uponor Pavement Snow and Ice Sensor is used with the Uponor Single-Zone Snow Melt Control. The sensor is designed to sit flush with the slab surface, and it measures the slab temperature, sensor surface temperature and sensor surface moisture level.
