  • Page 5: Operation

    Operation generAl OPerATIOn Steffes ETS room heating units utilize off-peak electricity available during those times of the day or night when the Power Company can supply electricity more economically. During off-peak hours, the room heating unit converts electricity to heat and stores the heat in its ceramic brick core. The heater stores heat at varying levels depending upon outdoor temperature, owner preference, utility peak conditions, and the requirements of the space being heated.

  • Page 6: Room Temperature Control

    With automatic charge control, the brick core charge level is regulated automatically in relation to outdoor temperature and the heating requirements. An optional outdoor sensor or Steffes power line carrier (PLC) system is required. The outdoor sensor or PLC system monitors outdoor temperature and provides this information to the heater.
