THE KEY TO INCREASING COMFORT WHILE
LOWERING ENERGY AND INSTALLATION COSTS
Lower energy and
installation costs

Easier and faster
installation saves
es you more

Imagine a world where occupants are able to set an indoor temperature
that matches their personal comfort needs, while their coworkers can
do the same. Wouldn't that save on energy costs? Of course, it would.
The more accurately you can control your indoor comfort levels, then
the more efficiently your building can run. Less unnecessary heating
and cooling means lower energy bills. You can make this ideal situation
a reality with Helios.

With Helios, there are no wires needed; neither for the unit itself, the
wireless digital thermostat nor the postmaster unit that both partner
with the Helios system. No wires means no wiring. Installation is both
easier and faster than with less advanced VAV diffuser systems.

Control that makes
everyone happy
Helios is a variable air volume diffuser with a wireless thermostat and
postmaster that puts users in control of their occupied space. When
some people wish it was a little cooler, others feel the urge to put on an
extra sweater. So it's not unusual for office staff to toggle back and forth
resetting the thermostat to a temperature level that suits their personal
needs, while simultaneously making their colleagues uncomfortable.
Helios offers building occupants the ability to create independent zones
to control their own comfort levels so everyone can focus on their work
instead of the temperature of their space.

This makes Helios a natural choice for retrofits, because without the
need to run new, dedicated cabling, it's about as close to plug-and-play
as an air device can get. The unit fits snugly into place in the ceiling and
starts working immediately.
The Helios has an architectural OMNI platform, giving it a clean and
contemporary look. The unit measures both the room temperature
and the supply air, so it can accurately maintain the requested indoor
temperature. Plus, heating and cooling temperature setpoints are
assigned using a unique digital logic system to provide temperature
bands with great accuracy.
While it can simply operate as a single-zone unit, the digital thermostat
and postmaster will eventually be able to control up to fifteen diffusers
in one zone, making the system highly and easily scalable. Easy to install
and operate, Helios is also an efficient solution for new construction
including commercial, medical and educational applications.

Even more savings on
building energy costs

A winning combination
of innovation and service

In addition to greater energy efficiency, Helios runs completely
independent of internal building power. Each unit harvests its own
energy needs from the surrounding ambient light. Not only does Helios
run entirely on stored power, it can harness enough reserve energy to
operate for up to three weeks in complete darkness. Day-to-day costs
are, in effect, nonexistent, which adds up to significant savings on
overall energy costs.

The Helios VAV diffuser and digital thermostat system is another
innovation from Titus, the industry leader in air distribution systems
and indoor comfort. Since 1946, Titus has focused on redefining how
technology drives, influences and supports air management. Not only
does Titus continue to be first to market with the most innovative
approaches to air distribution, we've raised the bar on design, proving
that functional can also be beautiful. We've also redefined what it
means to work with an air management products partner. We pride
ourselves on collaborating with our customers. We make the effort to
truly listen and respond to your needs, so that we don't just meet your
expectations, we exceed them. Service has been, and will always be, our
main focus at Titus. It's why so many of our customers keep coming back.
