Infrared Heater Controllers

We understand that infrared heaters work best when paired with the right controller. At SBH Solutions, we offer a range of INFRESCO heater controllers designed to make operation simple, flexible, and reliable. From basic power controllers to multi-heater management and remote control options, our controllers help you get the most out of your heating system. We also offer controllers with proximity sensors and temperature sensing capabilities.

INFRESCO heater controllers feature a soft-start function and zero-voltage switching, reducing initial high inrush current and potentially extending infrared heater element life by up to 30%.

Infresco VR 1.5kW Power Controller

The INFRESCO VR 1.5kW power controller offers variable control of mains-driven loads, suitable for Infrared Heaters such as Heliosa 11 short wave infrared heater, rated up to a total of 1.5kW.

Key Features:

  • Simple wall mounting.
  • IP55 protection for outdoor installation.
  • Soft-Start function: This infrared heater controller incorporates a ‘soft-start’ gradual switch on function to eliminate the lamp’s initial high inrush current – potentially increasing the lamp life by as much as 30%.
  • Simple In-Line wiring, via 3-core cables.
  • Pre-selected heat output levels for optimum comfort control.
  • Power output indication.
  • Relay override at maximum output – minimising heat dissipation.

Infresco 4KW Heater Controller

The INFRESCO controller has been designed to offer a complete control solution for Helios/Heliosa Short-wave Infrared Heaters with people comfort and energy saving being the focal points.

It has been designed specifically to work with short-wave infrared heaters where the high initial in-rush current (that brings instant heat) benefits from the ‘soft start’ to a maximum rating of up to 4kW.

Key Features:

  • ‘Soft-Start’ technology – extends life of heater element by up to 30%.
  • Ability to find your comfort level of outdoor heating – 10 levels of digital control.
  • Controller remembers the last setting and turns on at this level when next switched on.
  • Control via touch screen panel or (optional) line of sight infrared remote controller.
  • Up to two heaters or 4kW can be wired in (controlled together – no individual control).
  • Optional temperature monitoring – facility to add a temperature sensor so the controller remains switched off above a pre-set background ambient.
  • IP65 rating means it is safe to mount outside, even in an area that gets wet.

Infresco Remote for 4kW Controller

Remote control handset for Infresco 4kW heater controllers. Controllers can be turned on and off and provides adjustment of heat output. Works with multiple heater controllers.

Infresco 6kW Heater Controller

The INFRESCO controller has been designed to offer a complete control solution for infrared heaters with people comfort and energy saving being the focal points.

It has been designed specifically to work with infrared heaters where the high initial in-rush current (that brings instant heat) benefits from the ‘soft start’ to a maximum rating of up to 6kW.

Key Features:

  • ‘Soft-Start’ technology – extends life of heater element by up to 30%.
  • Ability to find your comfort level of outdoor heating – 10 levels of digital control.
  • The controller remembers the last setting and turns on at this level when next switched on.
  • Control via touch screen panel only (optional remote control DOES NOT work with the 6kW controller).
  • Up to three heaters or 6kW can be wired in (controlled together – no individual control).
  • Optional temperature monitoring – facility to add a temperature sensor so the controller remains switched off above a pre-set background ambient.
  • IP65 rating means it is safe to mount outside, even in an area that gets wet.
