Crestron CHVI-RTS-1G-SM-W – Surface Mount Remote Temperature Sensor, White

Product Overview

The Crestron CHVI-RTS-1G-SM-W is a surface-mountable remote temperature sensor designed for use with Crestron thermostats and supported keypads. It attaches directly to a flat wall surface over a 25 mm (1 in.) round hole, or mounts over a 1-gang UK or European electrical box. The sensor connects to a compatible thermostat via a single non-polarized twisted-pair wire.

Product Description

The CHVI-RTS-1G-SM-W provides accurate remote temperature measurement for Crestron HVAC control systems, enabling precise zone sensing in locations away from the primary thermostat. It supports cable runs up to 152 m (500 ft) using CAT5e or equivalent low-capacitance wire, making it suitable for large commercial spaces. Compatible thermostats include the HZ-THSTAT, CHV-TSTAT, CHV-THSTAT, CHV-TSTAT-FCU, CHV-TSTATEX, and CHV-TSTATEX-FCU series, as well as the C2N-LCDB3 keypad. Its compact plastic housing with white finish blends into standard commercial or residential finishes.

Typical Applications

• Supplemental zone temperature sensing in commercial office spaces and conference rooms
• Residential HVAC zoning where thermostat and sensing point need to be physically separated
• Hotel and hospitality guestroom climate control systems using Crestron thermostats
• Retrofit installations where a surface-mount sensor is preferable to an in-box solution
• Large open-plan spaces requiring distributed temperature measurement points

FAQs

What is the difference between the CHVI-RTS-1G-SM-W and the CHVI-RTS-1G-N-W?
The SM model mounts directly to a flat wall surface over a round hole or a back box, making it suitable when a flush-mount back box is not available. The N model requires a 1-gang UK or European back box and an FP INTENSE or FP PURE series faceplate (sold separately). Both share the same temperature sensing specifications and thermostat compatibility.

Is a faceplate required for the CHVI-RTS-1G-SM-W?
No. The CHVI-RTS-1G-SM-W is a self-contained surface-mount unit and does not require a separate faceplate, unlike the N-model variants.

Where can I purchase the CHVI-RTS-1G-SM-W?
