The optional Steffes Power Line Carrier (PLC) control system has the ability to communicate with the heater through the existing electrical circuits in the structure. With the power line carrier option, hard wired low voltage connections from the power company's peak signaling switch connect directly to the transmitting device. The switch signals peak control times to the transmitting device; the transmitter sends the signal to an unlimited number of 2100 series heaters, Comfort Plus heating systems, or mini receivers; the heating systems and/or receivers then receive this information and respond accordingly.
In addition to providing peak control signals, the transmitter also provides outdoor temperature information for automatic charge control, room temperature set back, and anticipated peak utility control signals (if applicable).
As the PLC system is optional, it must be specified at the time of ordering. If utilizing a PLC system, refer to the Owner's and Installer's manual for the appropriate transmitting device for information on the installation and operation.
NOTE: PLC Communication is very reliable in most applications but can be affected and hindered by connection method used, electrical layout of the application, operation of other equipment in the same electric system, dirty power, etc. Steffes does not guarantee effective communication of the PLC system in all applications and is not responsible for any communication issues outside normal operating malfunctions.
