Description
The Braeburn 8500 is a universal wireless thermostat kit that lets you relocate or add a thermostat without pulling new cable—ideal when wires are broken, buried in walls, or just not where you need them. It supports up to 3H/2C heat pumps or 2H/2C conventional systems and includes a control module and return-air sensor so comfort is maintained at the equipment even if the wall unit’s batteries go dead. The 8500 model is Wi-Fi enabled allowing for remote access and control via the BlueLink Smart Connect Application.
Key Features & Benefits
Universal Wireless Kit For Tough Wiring Jobs
Wireless thermostat + equipment-mounted control module gives you a clean solution when thermostat wiring is damaged, too short, or impossible to extend.
Supports Up To 3H/2C Heat Pump Or 2H/2C Conventional
One kit covers single-stage or multi-stage conventional systems (up to 2H/2C) and heat pumps with up to 3 stages of heat and 2 stages of cooling, so you can standardize on a single wireless option for most residential and light commercial jobs.
Fail-Safe Return Air Sensor Backup
Included return-air plenum sensor lets the control module maintain basic temperature control at the equipment if the thermostat batteries are drained, giving a built-in safety net instead of leaving the building without heat or cooling.
Flexible Remote Sensing Options
Works with up to four optional wireless indoor sensors plus optional wireless or wired outdoor sensors, so you can average zones, monitor key areas, or display outdoor temperature and use balance-point control without extra control hardware.
Installer-Friendly Programming And Protection
Offers 7-day, 5-2, or non-programmable modes with residential/commercial settings, programmable fan, fossil-fuel (dual-fuel) option, adjustable temperature limits, and multi-level keypad lockout to protect equipment and reduce callbacks.
