The Infresco 4kW series is part of a family of controllers designed to provide energy saving efficiencies, when used with Quartz Infrared Halogen Lamps or other heating and lighting products.
The ‘S’ model softstarts the load either when power is applied to the unit or by the use of a remote switch.
The ‘T’ model switches the lamps on for a pre-determined time period of between 1 and 40 minutes.
The ‘P’ model has a built in PIR sensor allowing the lamps to automatically switch on only when people are present. In addition to the PIR, a temperature sensor monitors the outside temperature and inhibits the lamps when the temperature exceeds a pre-determined set point of between 1°C and 60°C
The Infresco 4KW range are all microcontroller-based units incorporating zero-voltage switching and a soft-start function to eliminate the lamps’ initial high inrush current – potentially increasing lamp life by as much as 30%. Installation of the unit is simple and once installed is relatively maintenance-free. The soft start will be initialised each time power is supplied to the unit, additionally, a remote switch can be added using terminals (INPUT COM) on the PCB. (in normal mode the terminals are fitted with a link, this will need to be removed and switch wires fitted). If these terminals are used an addition gland will be required to maintain the units IP rating (Additional Gland Supplied).
