| As a leading central heating controls manufacturer, Horstmann Controls offers installers and their customers the most comprehensive range of domestic heating programmers and allied equipment such as cylinder and room thermostats and zone valves.
In recent times the company has undertaken radical re-designs of a number of its products using AS (or Advanced Simplicity) design techniques that combine ease of use for the consumer with the most advanced technical features. Examples of the AS technique are evident in the ThermoPlus programmable room thermostats and the improved range of ChannelPlus XL programmers.
ThermoPlus has user friendly features such as a colour coded, bright LED warm/cool display, automatic winter and summer time change, frost protection and Braille markings for selecting warm/cool settings - all designed to enable the user to easily understand and alter the settings correctly.
The latest ChannelPlus XL electronic programmers and time switches are both easier to use and easier to install. They feature a bright blue back lit LCD display and menu driven programming. There is also an automatic clock that is factory pre-set and automatically adjusts to BST and GMT.
These are just two examples of Horstmann innovation in action, a philosophy clearly evident throughout the organisation.
Horstmann is also a "household" name in the Utilities markets where the Company provides products for load switching, measurement and control of electricity, gas and water tariffs as well as complete turn key metering systems.
From the market leading Radio teleswitch and Telemeter products to the sophisticated Meterlink remote metering system, Horstmann offers its customers genuine end-to-end intelligent metering solutions embracing project management, commissioning and post contract support.
Utilities products use advanced technologies such as power line carrier communicating meters creating 2-way communication between the utility and the meter user. Other metering techniques use facilities such as the UK Radio Teleswitching System which permits remote control of multi-rate tariffs and dynamic load switching.
All Horstmann utilities products are technically sound and proven in-the-field and are evident in markets world-wide, providing comprehensive, secure tariff metering in diverse and often complex environments. |
