With a history dating back over 50 years, Consort Claudgen is an established name in electric heating. PHPD discovers more about its latest solutions.
With energy bills a focus for the majority of householders, having precise control a heating system is more important than ever. Similarly, with many people enjoying busy lifestyles, controls must be easy-to-understand and operate.
With this in mind, Milford Haven based-Consort Claudgen has launched the CRXSL wireless controller which is compatible with all of the company’s RX and SL heaters. It is mains or battery-powered and offers up to six temperature settings a day, seven days a week. It has three different operating modes and features a 15-minute Boost with temperature control to provide the maximum comfort quickly.
It also features an optional open window detection feature which, when active, helps to minimise heat loss, thus reducing energy wastage and saving money. The open window detection feature is fully automatic and, once enabled in the setup menu, it does not require further intervention to be activated.
Other features include child lock, large backlit LCD display and touch screen. The CRXSL can also control multiple RX and SL heaters at the same time. Supplied with a security wall bracket and a table top stand, the CRXSL can be placed anywhere in a room.
Safety first
The company has also recently introduced a safety monitoring feature which will identify overheating, fan failure and certain electronic faults, in their PLSTiE electronic timer heater range. This feature has been designed to diagnose a problem occurring in the heater and will help prevent high surface temperatures that could lead to risks of burn injuries.
When the safety monitoring identifies a fault, the heat is switched off and the heater will beep at different intervals depending on the problem. Users can then follow clear instructions in dealing with the fault from the manual provided with the heater.
The PLSTiE range also includes two new compact heaters with 500W and 750W ratings. All heaters offer a 7-day programme with 6 heating periods per day and are enhanced with a low energy consumption EC motor.
