Read full description

IR SUN Smart Heating Regulator is an advanced mobile application for smart control of IR SUN WiFi regulators. IR SUN is more than just an app for remotely controlling temperature. It is a complete smart heating system that monitors the operation of the heating system and the response of individual rooms, while giving you precise control over temperature, energy consumption, comfort and operating modes. Your heating is always under control - at home, at your workplace or at a holiday property. ADVANCED SMART CONTROL With infrared heating, the IR SUN WiFi regulator intelligently adjusts the operation of IR panels according to the actual needs of the room. Instead of the conventional on/off hysteresis operation used by standard thermostats, the system intelligently regulates heat output by adjusting the radiant power of the IR panels, helping maintain a stable temperature, even heat distribution, lower electricity consumption and a high level of comfort. IR SUN combines comfort, precise control and optimized energy consumption. COMPLETE REMOTE CONTROL With the IR SUN app, you can: - monitor the current temperature and heating operation - check the current system load level - change the desired temperature - manage individual rooms and multiple locations - easily control heating in all rooms at once - check the status of connected regulators - securely share access with family members, colleagues or other users ENERGY CONSUMPTION OVERVIEW AND ADVANCED ANALYTICS Monitor heating operation and energy consumption on a: - daily - weekly - monthly - yearly basis Advanced analytics help you understand heating patterns, compare different periods and identify potential deviations in system operation. This gives you greater control over the heating efficiency of individual rooms or the entire property. SCHEDULES THAT FIT YOUR LIFESTYLE For each room, you can easily create and adjust heating schedules according to your habits, occupancy and preferred temperature. This allows your bedroom, living room, bathroom, office or holiday property to be heated only when and how you actually need it. SMART OPERATING MODES Choose between different control modes: - ECO - energy-saving operation with a lower temperature. - COMFORT - increased comfort with a higher temperature. - HOLD - maintains the selected temperature until changed. - SCHEDULE - automatic operation according to a predefined schedule. - MANUAL - direct setting of the desired temperature. SMART ALERTS AND NOTIFICATIONS IR SUN monitors the operation of your heating system and alerts you to potential issues in time. Notifications include: - unusually high or prolonged system load - difficulty reaching the set temperature - possible improper use of the heating system - risk of excessively low temperatures or freezing - open windows, doors or other possible causes of increased energy consumption - connection or device operation issues Notifications are designed to provide clear and easy-to-understand information, allowing you to quickly check the possible cause and take appropriate action. SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL For additional protection of your settings, you can lock the IR SUN regulator with a PIN code and prevent unauthorized changes to the settings. The device-sharing feature enables secure and controlled access for multiple users, such as family members, tenants or employees. More control. More comfort. Smarter IR heating. The application is intended for users of compatible IR SUN WiFi regulators. An internet connection and a properly connected regulator are required for remote control.

Designed by PCS Instruments, the PCS App allows you to easily and quickly calculate Hertz contact pressures and sizes for any valid Hertzian geometry with specified loads and materials. Specimen geometries and material properties for all our instruments are loaded on the app: simply select your specimens, input the load, and the app does the rest - giving you all the contact conditions instantly! For custom Hertz contacts, you can select from a range of standard (and custom) contact types to fit all your testing needs. For circular and line contacts you can even set just the radius of the sample and any other parameter, and the app will calculate the load required to achieve this and all the other parameters. These parameters are: - Load - Max pressure - Contact radius - Mean pressure - Contact area - Approach For users of PCS Instruments machines, the PCS App comes pre-loaded with all the contact geometry and standard specimens and materials from our instruments including the: - MTM - EHD - ETM - HFRR - MPR - ABS - ABSSL Moreover, the PCS App not only comes pre-loaded with properties for all the standard specimen materials we supply, but many more common materials, and the option for you to add and save your own custom materials.
