SIMPLE CONTROL FOR BETTER COMFORT
Herschel iQ gives you intelligent controls that are easy to use. A clear, simple touch screen controller leads you
every step of the way through setting up and managing your building heating system.
“Quick actions”
:
allow you to manage key aspects of your whole
heating system on one screen
–
at the touch of a button.
iQ zoning:
group your heaters the way
you
want them to behave,
making management logical and saving energy.
Individual Control:
Manage each heater individually.
iQ configures each heater control initially with our pre-loaded
schedule and allows you to go from there, discovering your own
ways to manage your heating most effectively.
All with 5+1+1 day scheduling with 4 programmes per day and Comfort and Away modes to give that extra boost
when you want it and turn everything down when you don’t.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When installed the WH1 unit is connected to the mains supply but links wirelessly via RF technology to multiple
R1 receiver units. The R1’s
must be connected to the mains supply and wired to control the Herschel heater(s).
The R1’s have a built in thermostat and communicate
with the WH1 to turn the heaters on or off when the
correct temperature is reached.
WHAT ARE ZONES?
A zone can be a room, or a number of heaters, or a number of rooms that you want to control the same way.
For example, you might want to make all Bedrooms a single zone as they will all have the same temperature and
schedule characteristics so you will want to control them as one zone.
Or you may have several heaters in a single room or in a bigger open space that you want to group together and
control in the same way, creating a “zone”
. Or you may want all bathrooms or corridors to have the same
characteristics and therefore define them in the same zone.
The Herschel iQ WH1 Central Control Unit allows you to define up
to 6 different zones.
You can name each zone to make it memorable.
You can add up to 6 R1 receivers in each zone and name each
receiver to make them memorable.
Each R1 receiver can manage up to 10 Amps of current (approx.
2.3kW of power at 230v), so you can have several heaters running
on each R1 provided 10 Amps is not exceeded.
