Control technology
Innovative solutions for energy efficiency and comfort
EMPUR® offers innovative and perfectly matched control components as an ideal addition to versatile surface heating systems. We offer cable-bound standard solutions for conventional surface heating, as well as solutions for heating/cooling applications with heat pumps depending on the type of application and installation.
In the case of retrofitting or modernisation, mostly radio variants are used, which can be combined with modern heat generators. The Exclusiv control technology (radio/BUS) also offers the option of controlling your heating system via smartphone or PC.
The individual product ranges are supplemented using control terminal strips that – depending on the equipment – can also control a circulation pump. Timer modules and digital timers round-off the product range.
Our control technology at a glance:
Standard control technology
BENEFITS
- From surface heating systems to manifold and control technology – all system components from a single source
- Simple installation and operation
- Modern design of the room control units and Thermostats
- Room control units with frost protection and a set point adjuster with bar Display
- Control terminal strips for up to 6 heating circuits and 24 actuators, for wall or rail assembly, expandable by 4 heating circuits (230 V/24 V)
- The current-free connection of actuators is possible
- Versatile system expansion options through specially adapted accessories
Balance control terminal strip
The Balance control terminal strip is the intelligent individual room control for maximum convenience and energy efficiency in surface temperature control in combination with our brass manifolds version 2.0 and the stainless steel manifold series 03.
The Balance control terminal strip with integrated, TÜV-certified “automatic hydraulic balancing” carries out the balancing completely independently without using additional hardware or software and is therefore eligible for funding. The system’s control characteristics ensure automatic balancing of the flow rate at the manifold in the connected heating circuits and is therefore at least equivalent to manual hydraulic balancing according to the TÜV certificate.
BENEFITS
- Integrated TÜV certified “automatic hydraulic balancing”
- In combination with standard heating room control units, the Balance control terminal strip also supports the cooling function by inverting the input signals
- All 230 V NC thermal actuators can be used
- Simple, intuitive installation and operation without additional components (sensors)
- Meets legal requirements (GEG), eligible for BAFA funding
- Automatic calibration begins approx. 30 minutes after the operating voltage is applied and after the controller inputs are detected
- Operating status display by LEDs for each heating zone, cooling changeover function (CO), mains voltage input, fuse as well as pump and boiler relay output
- Change Over Signal (CO) for heating/cooling changeover (external potential-free normally open contact)
- “Lock cooling” function can be individually set for each heating zone via DIP switch
- Heat generator and pump control (pump logic function) via switching contacts
- Dew point sensor or safety temperature monitor connection (potential-free normally closed contact)
- Lowering channel for control via external timer signal
- Can be used in refurbishments as well as new buildings and can be easily retrofitted in existing systems
