Leonard Temperature Controls - Building Management System Interface (BMSI)

July 9, 2010
The Leonard Building Management System Interface (BMSI). This product, installed with a Leonard Megatron®, provides the necessary design features to communicate the output temperature of the domestic hot water loop to a building’s Building Management System. Our design utilizes a temperature probe to read the output tempered water from the mixing valve, and this information is then collected through our system; held within a Nema 4 rated ABS box. The BMSI is supplied with a CAT-5E Ethernet connection, and this is the connection point from our unit and communicating to the building’s BMS, allowing the BMS to collect the output temperatures.

Leonard Temperature Controls - SANIGUARD

April 9, 2009
Leonard Temperature Controls - SANIGUARD - Leonard has teamed up with several other manufactures (Component Hardware Group, Sloan, McGuire, etc) to form the Saniguard® Alliance. This is a group of manufactures that are working jointly to promote Saniguard® Antimicrobial coating. Saniguard® is an inorganic material (silver ion technology) which inhibits the growth of microorganism such as bacteria, mold and fungi. This is either mixed with plastic resins for extruding and injection molding or applied as a powder coating to metal surfaces (we will use this version). Leonard will be offering Saniguard® as an OPTION on all of our shower valves. The antimicrobial coating will be applied to the handles only of the shower valves, as this is the main touch point of that valve that would likely have the most exposure to bacteria. To request this option for our customers, use the Suffix “SG” for Saniguard® and use a $50 List Adder. Attached you will find a one page Sales Sheet and a Whitepaper (which will be published in “Plumbing Engineer”), and please use these to promote Saniguard® with your engineers.
