Steffes Transceiver
The Steffes Transceiver is a control device used to manage Steffes heating systems and other electric loads. The Transceivers use a communication protocol called Power Line Carrier (PLC) which operates at very low radio frequencies to transmit information over electric power transmission lines. Information is transmitted via PLC from the control device (Transceiver) to all listening devices (heaters), allowing them to take advantage of electric utilities’ low-cost off-peak rate programs.
Specifications
- Use for control of many electrical devices: Steffes heating systems, water heaters, electric baseboards, electric furnaces, ceiling and floor heat, and other electric devices
- 2-pole or 5-pole configurations (each pole providing a single 30 AMP DC held, board mounted relays)
- 15 selectable channels for PLC communication
- 1-hour peak override option (with single button or zonal control accessory module)
- Metal enclosure with power company seal/lockout provision
