iCon - Integrated Control Strategy



Central Touch Screen Control

Digital Sensor

I/O Logic Centre Relay Boards

iCon is a fully integrated, configurable, centrally controlled energy management system. It’s scalable design is ideal for both domestic and commercial applications.

The system can interface with multiple energy sources from boilers, heat pumps, solar panels through to energy exchangers underfloor heating, radiators, fan coil units etc, to optimise both the generation and demand side of the build to ensure ideal comfort condition at minimum running cost.

Tailored to suite your projects

Complete Integration


Energy Efficient:Time and temperature control for each zone, combined with auto optimisation capabilities, which automatically learns the terminal inertia of each zone, including hot water hysteresis. The system results in high comfort levels and impressive energy savings capabilities.

Reliability All controls devices are individually tested prior to shipment which dramatically reduces fall out rates and consequently improves product on-site reliability.

Future Proof:The control system is configurable, which enables the system to be easily adapted to integrate additional site specific client requirements.

User Friendly Time, effort and expertise have been invested to develop an intuitive, easy-to-use, touch screen interface which enables the end user to centrally control all of the elements of the system at the touch of a key.

Summary The combination of significant installation savings, reduced running cost, central control and an impressive list of comfort & protection features, makes the control system the preferred heating, cooling and DHW control system of the future.

Central Control:The control’s design enables all elements of the heating, cooling and hot water to be managed centrally via a simple to use Touch Screen Interface.

Installation:Single cable bus network design reduces installation time and costs. Pre-configured set-up reduces on site staff installation and commissioning times.

Multiple Weather Compensation Weather Compensate different heat emitters on each floor

Built in Weather Compensation Facility The 0-10v output regulates a Modulation Actuator to compensate the flow temp. The system will monitor the outside temperature and calculate a desired Flow Temperature (DF). This is then compared with the actual flow temp (FT). Based on the result the system will either step open or close. Depending on (∆T) the difference between DF and FT, the 0-10v output the modulate at a faster or slower rate.
