The infresco-P 6kW is part of a family of controllers designed to provide energy saving when used with Quartz Infrared Halogen Lamps or other Heating Lighting Products. The 'P' model has a built in PIR sensor allowing the lamps to automatically switch on only when people are present. In addition to the PIR, a temperature sensor monitors the outside temperature and inhibits the lamps when the temperature exceeds a predetermined set point of between 5 and 25 degrees Celsius. Designed with ease of wiring in mind, this unit is ideal for controlling up to four 1.5kW lamps through the use of two additional cable entry points. The microcontroller-based unit incorporates zero-voltage switching and a soft-start function to eliminate the lamps' initial high inrush current - potentially increasing lamp life by as much as 30% and reducing the stress on the mains supply. The lamps are switched on for a pre-determined time period of between 5 and 30 minutes. This period is reset each time the PIR detects any further movement. Installation is simple and once installed is relatively maintenance free. Typical applications are Pub Patio areas, Smoking Shelters, Restaurants, Warehouses, Work shops. Garden Lighting
