Energy Management System Features

Temperature Setback - This option can save energy dollars for unrented or unoccupied rooms by automatically setting back the operational temperatures. This mode of operation is selected through the configuration routine (see Configu- ration Settings section). If none of the keys on the control pad have been pressed for an 18-hour period. The unit will automatically go into a 3-stage setback routine; after 30 minutes, a 1 degrees setback; after 3 hours, 3 degrees, and at 8 hours, a 7-degree setback. NOTE: Temperature set- back does not work with a wired remote thermostat .

Door Switch and Motion Sensor Low Voltage Terminals (DS1, DS2, MS1, MS2) - The door switch and motion sen- sor operate as a unit, the door switch terminals allows for wired connection of a door sensor to the control board. The motion sensor interprets any door movement as a signal of occupancy. If the switch between DS1 and DS2 is closed, the door control will interpret the room door as closed. If the switch between MS1 and MS2 terminals is opened (or closed if unit is configured for normally open) the control will interpret the action as a signal of occupancy. If thirty min- utes pass without any door activity, Energy Management Temperature setback activates.

Serial Port Interfaces - Two serial ports located on the con- trol board provide easy access for two-way communications to the control board from handheld PDA devices. An op- tional RF antennae can be attached for wireless communi- cations.

Heat Controller EKTH, EKTC manual Energy Management System Features

EKTC, EKTH specifications

The Heat Controller EKTH and EKTC models are advanced heating solutions designed to provide energy-efficient climate control for residential and commercial spaces. These heat pumps combine sophisticated technology with user-friendly features to create a comfortable environment regardless of the outside temperature.

One of the standout features of both the EKTH and EKTC units is their inverter technology. This technology allows the compressor to operate at variable speeds, adjusting its output according to the current heating requirements. As a result, these systems provide consistent heating while consuming less energy compared to traditional fixed-speed units. The inverter technology not only enhances efficiency but also minimizes noise levels, making these heat controllers suitable for quiet environments.

Another significant characteristic of the EKTH and EKTC models is their all-weather performance. These heat pumps are engineered to perform effectively in a wide range of temperatures, ensuring reliable heating even in extremely cold conditions. With advanced defrost technology, these units can operate efficiently without freezing, maintaining optimal performance year-round.

User convenience is also a priority with the EKTH and EKTC systems. Both models feature intuitive digital controls that enable users to set their desired temperature comfortably. Additionally, many versions include Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing for remote access and control through a smartphone app. This feature is ideal for individuals seeking to monitor or adjust their heating systems while away from home.

Energy efficiency is a key aspect of the EKTH and EKTC heat controllers. They are designed with high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER) and Heating Seasonal Performance Factors (HSPF), which indicate their effectiveness in converting energy into heated air. Energy Star certification is often achieved by these models, making them attractive options for energy-conscious consumers looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

With a compact design, the EKTH and EKTC units can be easily integrated into various settings without taking up much space, allowing for flexible installation options. The sleek aesthetic also ensures that they blend seamlessly with interior decor.

In summary, the Heat Controller EKTH and EKTC models represent a cutting-edge solution to heating needs. They combine inverter technology, all-weather performance, user-friendly features, and high energy efficiency to provide reliable and comfortable heating solutions for any environment. Whether for a home or a commercial space, these heat pumps deliver quality and convenience in climate control.
