Prevent unnecessary energy use

ecoStat gives landlords, energy managers and accommodation managers control over energy consumption for heating in individual rooms.

Occupants keep themselves comfortable by increasing the room temperature within pre-set temperature and time parameters.

The tamper-proof technology means parameters cannot be changed directly on the unit, only by authorised people using the dedicated infrared programming handset.

Simple to install and easy to operate. ecoStat delivers typical energy savings of 25%-35% (depending on settings, building type/condition etc.).

Programming handset

A dedicated infrared handset is required to set the required parameters on the thermostat. When programmed it is a simple task of ‘pointing and sending’ the settings to the thermostat, either using infrared or the NFC (Near Field Communication) feature which transfers data to the thermostat in a similar way to contact-less payment with bank cards.

Window open technology

Open Window Technology

If windows or doors are opened, ecoStat senses the sudden drop in temperature and reduce heat input.

The 3-Stage Profile

3-stage profile

Temperature and time parameters are set for three modes:

Frost/Off - Setback - Boost range

Boost range increases heat input. It is engaged when the ‘Up’ button is pressed, but only for a predetermined time (e.g. 45mins). If the room’s vacated during Boost mode the occupancy sensor* will revert the controller to Setback. Likewise when the Boost time-limit period elapses.

Setback mode keeps the room at a comfortable temperature. If buttons are not pressed, Setback mode continues until the time-out period elapses (e.g.12hrs). The unit then enters Frost/Off mode.

Frost/Off mode engages when a room is vacant for longer periods. This turns heat input off until the room temperature drops below 10-12°C, to prevent damage from damp, frost or mould.

(*Occupancy sensor available on the PRE5203EC3 model)
