The Powersaver Dual Flexi 2 from Sangamo, a manufacturer of time clocks and heating controls, is an electronic immersion controller with programmable operation that is suitable for single, twin and dual element immersion heaters.
The controller is designed to bridge the gap between the bulky, aged electro-mechanical immersion controllers and the more complicated digital versions.
A table of pre-selectable adjustable programmes is offered – covering all of the low rate electricity tariffs, including Economy 7, Economy 10 and Eco 20:20 times.
To operate, the user is required to turn the installer switch to the programme of choice (for assistance with this, they can refer to installation and user instructions). Adjustment is possible to the preset times, enabling the programme periods to be reduced or cancelled as required. The review button allows ON/OFF times to be checked, and there is automatic GMT/BST changeover.
There is a half an hour, one-hour and two-hour boost function with a digital display countdown clock, allowing the user to clearly see the boost times. There is also a programmable boost function for further end user convenience; this programme is deliberately limited to a maximum of two hours, meaning expensive electricity is not being wasted during peak times.
The Sangamo range of specialist time switches and heating controls is distributed through Scolmore Group company, ESP.
