Ideal for use in hotels, offices, student accommodation or in the home where electric heating appliances may be left on or forgotten, the Horstmann Controls ‘Electrisaver’ time switch is an easy-to-use, energy and cost saving device.
Now, to further expand its applications while still offering peace of mind, Horstmann has added a new model – the E246 – which offers extended timings up to a duration of 6 hours.
Electrisaver is a push button electronic timer for short term power boosting. It has a 3kW load switching capability which makes it ideal for electrical equipment such as panel heaters, immersion heaters, heated towel rails and oil filled radiators.
Three models are now available; The Model E15 offers 15, 30 or 60 minute time period options, Model E30 offers 30, 60 and 120 minute durations while the new E246 offers 2, 4 or 6 hour options.
“It is a simple, push button operated controller that can prove invaluable for controlling electrical equipment that is easily forgotten,” explains Paul Lovegrove, Horstmann Controls sales manager.
“Equipment such as immersion heaters and panel heaters are often needed for relatively short periods but overlooked and left active – which can be very costly. The push button Electrisaver’ overcomes that problem and will pay for itself time and again in reducing fuel bills and wasted energy.”
The compact, easy to install unit can be flush or surface mounted with a single gang moulded box (not supplied). It is recommended that in most installations a double pole isolator switch should be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
