electronic panel convector heaters

the EPX range

The all new EPX range of electronic panel heaters combine advanced performance and stylish looks to provide a superior panel heating solution to meet the demands of today’s leading property developers.

Styled to complement the award-winning

DuoHeat radiator, the EPX range incorporates sensitive electronic thermostatic controls allowing accurate regulation of room temperatures – essential for providing comfort, economy and energy efficiency, especially where panel heaters provide the sole source of heating.

EPX panels can also be controlled by a completely new range of optional Dimplex plugin control programmers, providing a flexible control solution to meet the needs of any application. Alternatively, EPX can be controlled remotely by pilot wire or mains borne signalling from the new range of Dimplex 4-zone central programmers.

Range features

• Stylish design with forward facing louver grille for optimum heat circulation.

• Aesthetics to complement DuoHeat radiators, with pure white finish.

• Electronic thermostatic control, providing room temperature stability to +/-0.3ºC.

• Pre-set background temperature at 5ºC below thermostat setting.*

• Range of optional plug-in electronic timer modules, including:

– 24 hour digital timer

Electronic Control

Dimplex electronic panel heaters feature highly accurate electronic thermostats, providing superior comfort and operating efficiency.

As the room temperature nears the desired set point, power to the elements is reduced, and the room temperature closely monitored to an accuracy of less than 0.3ºC, minimising overshoot and temperature drift, resulting in better energy-efficiency and user comfort.

Typical overshoot and poor regulation now improved upon by EPX
