The application allows you to set the desired mode of operation on electric heaters with NFC programmers. To do this, you need to set the necessary settings in the application, click on the "Save to panel" button and raise the NFC antenna to the mark on the heater sticker, and to set the manual heater control or change the operating mode, just select the appropriate button on the main screen. You can easily create and store your own temperature modes in your smartphone, which will provide comfort in the room and save you money, because reducing the heating temperature by 1 ° C saves up to 6% of electricity The ability to control the surface temperature of the electric heater from 40 ° C to 95 ° C allows you to safely use such devices in children's rooms, but keep in mind that if you reduce this setting below 85 ° C, the heat output will also decrease! Locking the manual heater control buttons will not allow accidental pressing to change the set operating parameters. In order not to set the required timer of the towel dryer mode every time (1 hour by default), set the starting value and each time you set this mode it will start for the required number of hours (from 1 hour to 6 hours). The safety control system of such electric heaters will warn you in time with an audible signal that the operating parameters are out of range (someone accidentally covered the heater, which can lead to overheating) and turn it off. If the fault is not critical (your pet has damaged the indoor air temperature sensor, and this happens), emergency modes will be activated, this will prevent it from freezing until you contact customer service. Smart-install - technologies that work for your comfort and safety!

About

HydroniCalc

Features
Read full description

HydroniCalc brings together 23 hydronic calculators for heating engineers and installers of water-based heating systems. Everything runs in metric units, offline, and without an account. The calculators are grouped into four families: • Basic hydraulics and pipework: power, flow and temperature difference, diameter and velocity, linear and fitting pressure losses. • Valves, balancing and circulator: the Kv / flow / pressure-drop relationship, valve sizing, balancing, and the pump operating point. • Pressurization, volumes and separation: fill pressure, water expansion, expansion vessel, and system volumes. • Radiators and underfloor heating: radiator output correction, sizing, and underfloor loop length. Each calculator shows the values to enter and displays the result as soon as the required data is valid. An info button explains the purpose of the calculation, the expected inputs, the method, the results, and the usage limits. Built-in Kv tables: look up the Kv values published by manufacturers (manufacturer, product, and generation), then copy a value to paste into your calculation. The tables never fill a calculation automatically; the value is always typed or pasted into the field. Recent calculations: your ten most recent successful calculations are stored locally, so you can find them again and resume them with their values. Eleven calculators are free to use. A single, non-subscription purchase permanently unlocks the other twelve for the Apple account used. If a purchase isn’t recognized, “Restore Purchases” asks the App Store to sync it again.
