Load Management Control
Several control devices are manufactured by Steffes for use as load management devices or to interface with the ETS systems. These controls are designed to regulate when the ETS equipment can charge and also control when energy can be used by other devices. The Stefffes controls can significantly reduce installation costs of off-peak and load management systems by eliminating the need for additional controls or wiring.
Steffes Transceivers – Controls for Off-Peak Energy and Power Regulation (Power Line Carrier based)
Steffes Transceivers are controls generally used to regulate operation of Steffes heating appliances and other electric loads to take advantage of off-peak, time of day or smart metering electric rates or for demand management purposes. When the transceiver receives a signal, its internal relays will activate to regulate operation of directly connected loads. At the same time, it will transmit a wireless power line carrier (PLC) signal to any device having a corresponding Steffes receiver.
PLC Transceiver
Other Optional Controls
Steffes offers several additional accessory items and controls that regulate comfort and operation of heating equipment to include automatic charge control sensors, low voltage remote room sensors, time clock modules, low voltage wall thermostats, and remote communication devices.
If you have a need for a control or accessory item beyond what is shown here, please contact us.
