Remotely Switch on a Fan or a Heater with the RF Wireless Thermostat This RF Wireless Thermostat is comprised of a wireless remote sensor unit that controls a separate plugin switch module. The unit can be set to switch on an electrical appliance when the temperature goes above or below the user-set level. The sensor unit wirelessly turns the plugin switch on allowing power through to whatever is plugged into the front of it. For example, this system could be used to switch on an additional fan when garden temperatures get too warm. It can also be set to switch on a heater if temperatures get too cold. This is all with the convenience of no cables being required to link the 2 parts. The unit can switch up 3000 watts (3KW) which is more than adequate for just about any fan or an oil-filled radiator. The remote sensor can be placed anywhere up to 20 metres away in an open area. How the RF Wireless Thermostat Works The RF Wireless Thermostat comprises of 2 parts - a remote wireless sensor and a wireless plugin mains switch. The sensor can be set to turn on the plugin mains switch whenever the temperature goes above a certain user-set level or when the temperature goes below a certain level. This means that it could be used to switch on a fan if the temperature gets too warm, or it can used to switch on a heater if the temperature gets too cold. The plugin switch can supply power to an electrical appliance up to 3000 Watts (3KW) which is a full 13 Amps at UK mains voltage (230 Volts). The 2 units can be placed up to 20 metres away from each other in an open area. However, if the signal has to travel through walls or other obstructions then the range will be reduced. The system may not work if the sensor is in a sealed environment away from the plugin switch. The sensor can control many plugin switches. However, multiple sensors should not be used in the same environment as the signals will confuse the switches and the system will probably not work properly. The sensor can be switched between Fahrenheit (°F) and Centigrade (°C) scales. The switching temperature can be set in 1° steps between 0°C and 70°C or 32°F and 158°F. The unit has an override function for the appliance to be ON or OFF The display includes a convenient clock which displays the time and the day. Finally, plug the switch into a mains outlet socket and plug the appliance into the front of. Place the sensor in an appropriate place. The sensor will now switch the appliance on or off according to the programming. To see our full Grow-Room Heating range, click here
