Product catalog summary
Overview
The document outlines Vokèra's energy-saving controls designed to enhance efficiency in heating systems. These include OpenTherm, Weather Compensating Sensors, Programmable Room Thermostats, Room Thermostats, Mechanical Clocks, and Digital Programmers.
Specifications and Compatibility
Vokèra offers controls compatible with various boiler models such as Linea, Unica, Vision, Compact, Verve, and Mynute. Some installations may require specific wiring kits or control interfaces, and technical advice from Vokèra is recommended.
Energy Efficiency
Modern condensing boilers achieve over 90% efficiency. Adding controls like Weather Compensation Sensors can increase efficiency by 2%, while the OpenTherm Programmable Room Thermostat can save up to 15% on energy bills compared to traditional thermostats.
Intelligent Controls
Vokèra's intelligent controls, including the OpenTherm system, manage heating flow temperatures to maintain stable room temperatures and improve boiler efficiency. These controls are designed for easy installation and user-friendly operation, featuring pre-programmed heating patterns and multiple modes of operation.
Weather Compensation Technology
The Weather Compensation Sensor adjusts the boiler's flow temperature based on external weather conditions, enhancing energy savings and maintaining comfort. It is compatible with most Vokèra high-efficiency models and can be retrofitted.
Installation and Training
Vokèra provides training courses for installers to understand control technology and its integration with boiler systems. Contact information for booking training sessions and technical support is included.
Conclusion
Vokèra's range of energy-saving controls offers significant potential for reducing energy consumption and costs while maintaining optimal comfort levels in residential heating systems.
Installation and Configuration
The receiver can be easily connected to the boiler using a 'plug and play' Tyco socket, eliminating the need for a Part P qualified electrician. Magnetic strips are provided for attaching the receiver to the boiler casing.
Modes of Operation
The system offers four modes: Auto, Economy/Holiday, Party, and OFF. Auto mode follows a pre-programmed heating pattern, Economy mode allows for temperature settings during holidays, Party mode provides a one-day comfort temperature override, and OFF mode maintains hot water with frost protection.
Pre-Programmed Heating Pattern
The default program includes specific on/off times for weekdays and weekends, catering to main heating and hot water needs when connected to a water cylinder.
Time Controls
The system includes analogue clocks and digital programmers for setting specific heating patterns over 24-hour or 7-day periods.
RC05 Programmable Room Thermostat
This thermostat allows direct control over the boiler, displaying alarm codes and service icons, and regulating water and heating temperatures. It is compatible with certain discontinued Vokèra products and can be used with a Weather Compensation Sensor for enhanced efficiency.
ON/OFF Room Thermostat
Suitable for Vision combi boilers, this thermostat allows simple temperature adjustments without affecting programmed heating timings. It is available in RF and hard-wired versions.

Maximise energy and fuel savings With the introduction of condensing technology, boilers have continued to increase in efficiency with most current appliances able to reach over 90% efficiency. However, the technology within boilers is now so advanced that, even with future developments, there is little chance of boiler efficiency percentages increasing much further. The one area that can still help maximise the efficiency and overall performance of the boiler is the correct use of a control. Even with average efficiencies now reaching over 90%, this can be increased by a further 2% - with the...
