The programmer

This is an option.

It can be added to the Ecotherm radiator to improve comfort and reduce heating costs. The programmer simply fits into the radiator control panel. It allows to automatically manage daily setbacks from comfort to economy and back. It can also manage up to 20 other radiators if they are connected by a pilot wire.

Another programmer model uses wireless "power carrier" technology. It communicates with multiple radiators over the existing home wiring, removing the need to connect your radiators by a pilot wire. This solution is preferred in cases of minor renovation or heater replacement.

Programmation principle

The programmation allows the radiator to automatically switch between comfort and saving mode depending on the time and the day. The programmer simply sends a "comfort" or "saving" signal to the radiator. Each radiator has its own comfort temperature and saving temperature.

Example : 2 bedrooms are managed by the same programmer. It means both of them will be in comfort mode or saving mode at the same time. But the first bedroom could be set up at 20°C in comfort and 18°C in saving while the second one could be set up at 22°C in comfort and 19°C in saving.

Zone principle

In a home, several rooms can be selected to form a group called "zone" since they are used at the same period of time.

For instance, the rooms used during the daytime (living room, dining room and kitchen for example) could be the "day zone". Similarly the bedrooms could be the "night zone". Thus each room can be a part of a zone but nevertheless keeps its own temperature (since the thermostat is built in the radiator) and is managed by the programmer of the zone.
