Horstmann Controls Warm Front room 'stat contract
Horstmann Controls Limited has won the contract to supply its ThermoPlus programmable room thermostat for heating systems installed under the Defra funded national Warm Front scheme.
The technology is also highly reliable and permits easy network management.
The ThermoPlus AS2 RF is supplied complete with its receiver unit (ASR-RF) which is normally sited close to the boiler to minimize wiring.
In the unlikely event of any communications problems, the receiver has a local override facility.
As with the other hard wired or battery models, the RF version remains a simple unit to install, programme and operate with each variant having 5 pre-set heating profiles from which the installer can easily select the preferred programme.
Programming functions are accessed from behind the front flap and once set there is no further need for user or installer adjustment, including the twice yearly time change.
The ease-of-use features for the householder also substantially reduce the instances of disruptive and expensive call backs for the installer - a long standing problem with more complicated heating control products.
ThermoPlus 'stats are suited to both new build installations and replacement of older style electro-mechanical thermostats and are particularly popular in applications such as residential, local authority housing, housing associations and social housing.
They contrast high performance and technology with ease and simplicity of use.
Features such as a colour coded, bright LED warm/cool display, automatic BST/GMT time change, a frost protection feature and Braille markings for selecting warm/cool settings are all designed to enable the user to clearly understand and adjust the temperature settings correctly.
In addition to the AS2 RF version the ThermoPlus AS1 is the mains powered option, ThermoPlus AS2 is the standard battery powered model and ThermoPlus PRT1 has been especially designed for vulnerable/elderly users.
The PRT1 model is mains powered and requires an all-installer set-up to agreed parameters.
It features a 15 cool setting to provide hypothermia protection and is the recommended programmable room thermostat for heating systems installed under the Defra funded national 'Warm Front' scheme.
