FERRO Underfloor Heating Control System

When using an underfloor heating system, it is often necessary to set the temperature to suit your needs. To control the entire system smoothly, you will need an appropriate regulator or controller. These devices allow you to set the appropriate temperature for each room.

Keep in mind that the controller must be properly matched to the installed system. Different models offer different features and capabilities, such as support for a limited number of circuits, compatibility with Wi-Fi modules and mobile apps, or the ability to operate wirelessly.

Advantages of Advanced Control

Modern underfloor heating control systems offer a number of benefits, including:

Reduced energy consumption —thanks to smart algorithms and schedules, you can significantly lower your heating bills.

Greater comfort – automatic temperature adjustment based on the time of day and outdoor conditions ensures optimal indoor conditions. Many controllers allow you to program a highly precise schedule that adjusts operating hours and indoor temperatures.

Easy operation – control via a mobile app allows you to manage your heating from anywhere.

To provide a comprehensive underfloor heating system, FERRO’s product line naturally includes controllers. The main component of the control system is the FL8 Control Strip for thermostatic valves, designed to manage underfloor heating . The FERRO control strip is used to manage the thermoelectric actuators mounted on the valves. The control module is a device capable of controlling up to 50 electric actuators, surface cooling, and a circulation pump. Additionally, it features a voltage-free contact that allows for control of the heating unit. The controller has both heating and cooling modes. To ensure optimal operation for as long as possible, the software can be updated via a USB port. Thanks to intelligent room control, thermal comfort is maintained without excessive energy consumption. The control panel is designed for remote control of the system via the eModul app thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi module. The eModul app can be downloaded to smartphones running both Android and iOS. Additionally, a browser-based version of the app is available.

Thanks to the built-in radio module in the FL8 rail, there are numerous communication options for the entire system. Communication between measuring devices (sensor or controller) can be wired or wireless.

Sensor – cable – 2-wire

Controller – cable – 4-wire

Controller or sensor – wireless

A room controller can be used with the power strip; it allows you to control the room temperature and features touch buttons and an LCD display. It is available in two versions: the FTHW (wired) and the FTHL ( wireless). The FTHL controller features wireless communication and is powered by two 1.5V AA batteries. When used with an NTC floor sensor, it is possible to control the system based on floor temperature.

Additionally, the product line includes optional accessories such as:

A wireless (FSWL) and a wired room sensor (FSW) , which allow temperature readings to be taken from any location chosen by the user, ensuring the system performs its functions as effectively as possible.

The wired FSW temperature sensor uses a 2-wire connection, while the wireless FSWL sensor is powered by two 1.5V AAA batteries.

The FTH1 thermoelectric actuator is designed for automatically opening and closing valves mounted on heating manifolds or for opening and closing radiator valves. It can be controlled via mounting strips or room thermostats. This actuator is normally closed (NC), powered by 230V, and has a maximum operating temperature of 60°C. It is available in a version with an M30x1.5 thread.
