Product catalog summary
Overview
The document outlines the implementation and advantages of Eberle's wireless RF single-room control systems for heating applications. These systems are designed for retrofitting existing buildings, providing enhanced comfort and energy savings without extensive wiring.
Specifications
The RF control system operates at 868 MHz, ensuring reliable transmission through internal tests and signal repetitions. It includes components like transmitters, receivers, and repeaters, each tailored for specific applications.
Components and Features
  • Transmitters: Available in analogue and digital formats, these devices offer temperature control and scheduling. The digital clock thermostat features a large LCD, pre-set programs, and functions like automatic summer/winter time change and frost protection.
  • Receivers: Available in 1-channel, 4-channel, and 6-channel versions, these convert transmission signals into control signals for electrical devices, featuring valve protection, emergency programs, and pump logic.
  • Repeaters: The INSTAT 868-rep series amplifies RF signals to extend transmission range.
Applications
The system is suitable for various heating zones and mobile electric heaters, supporting both heating and cooling applications with options for master-slave configurations and pump logic integration.
Installation and Commissioning
Installation is simplified through wireless technology, eliminating extensive wiring. Commissioning involves a straightforward learning mode to pair transmitters with receivers.
Technical Data
  • Frequency: 868 MHz
  • Transmission Range: 1 ceiling or 3 walls
  • Temperature Range: 5 to 32°C
  • Power Supply: Battery-operated with a lifespan of approximately 5 years
Conclusion
The RF single-room control system by Eberle offers a flexible, cost-effective solution for retrofitting heating systems in existing buildings, with modular design and wireless operation providing significant installation and operational advantages.
Additional Specifications
  • Repeaters: INSTAT 868-rep and INSTAT 868-repS enhance radio transmission distance and signal quality, extendable up to 90 meters with a maximum of two repeaters. They feature signal strength indication via LEDs and can be plugged into a "SchuKo" socket outlet.
  • Technical Data: Operating voltage is 230 V~ with power consumption under 1.5 W. Operating temperature range is 0 to +40°C, storage temperature is –20 to +60°C, with an internal antenna, carrier frequency of 868.95 MHz, software class A, and protection degree IP 20.
Accessories
  • TS+ Thermal Actuator: Available in 230 V and 24 V versions, robust, silent, easy to install, with compact design, IP54 protection, and low power consumption. Compatible with various INSTAT models, includes a plastic adapter frame for versatile mounting.
  • Dew Sensor: TS 193 683 is used for dewing point control with the INSTAT 868-a8U model.

Radio Frequency Controls Single-room control in the form of either thermal or electrothermal control has been state of the art in new buildings for years. In many existing buildings, however, there is increasing need to retrofit these systems for added comfort and energy savings. Radiators can be economically retrofitted with radiator thermostats. In the past, it has always been difficult to retrofit hot water floor heating systems that are not equipped with thermostats in their respective rooms. Today, these room units are still controlled with manually set flow controllers in central manifold...

General Information on Radio Frequency Systems The INSTAT 868 radio frequency controller range offers ideal wireless transmitters and receivers for any type of application. For each heating zone, either the INSTAT 868-r1 radio frequency transmitter with analogue temperature setting or the INSTAT 868-r/rd digital clock thermostat is used, and both can be combined with the INSTAT 868-a1A 1-channel receiver. For several heating circuits, 4- or 6-channel INSTAT 868-a4/a6 receivers are used, which can be expanded and combined with each other as desired. For mobile electric heaters, such as wall-mounted...
