Before you start

This chapter will give you essential knowledge of terms and concepts used in the Nobø Energy Control system.  

How does Nobø HUB work?

Nobø HUB is the central unit in the Nobø Energy Control System. The Nobø HUB controls heaters, lights and other electrical appliances according to your own weekly programs.

Nobø HUB is connected to your wireless network and communicates with Nobø Energy Control APP on your smartphone or tablet. From the APP, your home is controlled according to your needs and wishes.

You can control your home from anywhere in the world, as long as the app is connected to the Internet.

 

What is a receiver?

Nobø HUB sends radio signals to RECEIVERS that can be placed in heaters, power outlets or fuse boxes around your home. Each receiver has a unique ID code enabling Nobø HUB to send signals to the correct unit.

Nobø HUB is compatible with all NOBØ Orion700 receivers and NOBØ NCU receivers, but not with NOBØ Orion512 receivers.

 

 

 

List of receivers

NTB-2R is a combined floor and room thermostat and power regulator for in-box mounting. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set either on the receiver (thermostat), or with the NOBØ Energy Control APP Interface.

NCU-1R is a receiver for Nobø heaters NF and NT, controllable by Nobø HUB. COMFORT temperature setting is on the receiver (heater). ECO temperature is set with the NOBØ Energy Control APP interface.

 

NCU-2R is a receiver for Nobø heaters NF and NT, controllable by Nobø HUB. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set either on the receiver (heater), or with the NOBØ Energy Control APP interface.

 

NCU-ER is a receiver for Nobø heaters NF and NT, controllable by Nobø HUB. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set with the NOBØ Energy Control APP interface.

 

DCU-1R  is a receiver for Dimplex heaters DF and DT, controllable by Nobø HUB. COMFORT temperature setting is on the receiver (heater). ECO temperature is set with the NOBØ Energy Control APP Interface.

 

DCU-2R is a receiver for Dimplex heaters DF and DT, controllable by Nobø HUB. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set either on the receiver (heater), or with the NOBØ Energy Control APP Interface.

 

DCU-ER  is a receiver for Dimplex heaters DF and DT, controllable by Nobø HUB. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set with the NOBØ Energy Control APP Interface.

 

 

R80 RDC 700 is a receiver for Nobø heaters C2/C4, B4, T4, P4/P6 and R3/R5, controllable by Nobø HUB. COMFORT and ECO temperatures settings are on the receiver (heater).

 

R80 RXC 700 is a receiver for Nobø heaters C2/C4, B4, T4, P4/P6 and R3/R5, controllable by Nobø HUB. This receiver has no local controls. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set with the Nobø Energy Control APP interface. 

 

R80 RSC 700 is a receiver for Nobø heaters C2/C4, B4, T4, P4/P6 and R3/R5, controllable by Nobø HUB. COMFORT temperature setting is on the receiver (heater). ECO temperature is set with the NOBØ Energy Control APP interface.

 

R80 TXF 700 is a receiver for Nobø heaters C2/C4, B4, T4, P4/P6 and R3/R5. R80 TXF 700 can be controlled by Nobø HUB via a room thermostat (TCU 700 or TXB 700). COMFORT and ECO temperatures are then set on the room thermostat.

R80 TXF 700 can also be controlled directly by Nobø HUB, if there is a Nobø Switch temperature sensor in the same zone. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are then set in the APP interface.

 

2NC9 700 is a receiver for Dimplex and ewt heaters 2NC8, 2NW5 and 2NW6. COMFORT temperature setting is on the heater, while ECO temperature is set in Nobø Energy Control APP interface.

 

TRB 36 700 is a combined floor and room thermostat, and effect regulator for wall box mounting. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set on the receiver (thermostat).

TXB 700 operates as a central room thermostat in a room with one or more Nobø C2/C4, T4, P4/P6, R3/R5 and Safir glass heaters. This thermostat controls up to 10 heaters in the room via radio signals. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set on the receiver (thermostat).

 

TR36 is a combined floor and room thermostat for on wall mounting. COMFORT temperature is set on the receiver (thermostat). ECO temperature is set in the APP interface.

 

 

RSX 700 is a rail-mounted relay receiver for direct control of electric loads. Signals from Nobø HUB switches the loads on and off.

 

RS 700 is a flush mounted 10A receiver that switches the load on and off according to signals from Nobø HUB.

 

RCE 700 is a 10A control unit for power outlets, that switches the load on and off according to signals from Nobø HUB. Possible uses are lights and other appliances with a power cord, including heaters. COMFORT temperature is set on the heater.

 

TCU700 is a battery powered, wireless, room thermostat controlling NOBØ Safir Glass Heaters and NOBØ heaters with R80 TXF radio receiver. TCU700 communicates with the heaters through radio signals, and can be connected to Nobø HUB. COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set on the receiver (room thermostat).

 

Safir is a glass heater with an integrated radio receiver. Nobø HUB can control Safir via a room thermostat (TCU700 or TXB700). COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set on the room thermostat. As an alternative, Nobø HUB can control Safir directly if there is a Nobø Switch temperature sensor in the same zone. In this case, COMFORT and ECO temperatures are set in the APP interface.

 

 

What is a transmitter?

A transmitter communicates messages to Nobø HUB upon certain events, like operating a switch panel. A transmitter can also be a sensor (temperature, magnet switches etc.) that automatically communicates events and status to Nobø HUB.

 

List of transmitters

Nobø Switch SW4 enables you to manually set your home or single zones to NORMAL status, or temporarily override them to COMFORT, ECO or AWAY.

What is a zone?

Receivers that are supposed to follow the same weekly program and temperature settings, should be placed together in a ZONE in the APP. One example could be all the heaters in your living room. A ZONE is simply a group of receivers operating in the same manner.

Heaters/thermostats should not be placed in the same zone as lights or other appliances. One room can consist of several zones, and one zone can include receivers in different rooms.

All receivers in a zone should preferably have equal functionality. If a zone has both a heater connected to a simple ON/OFF receiver (e.g: RCE 700) and also another heater with an advanced receiver (e.g: NCU-2R), the simpler receiver will limit the functionality in the zone. The two heaters should each be given a separate zone, to be able to exploit the functionality of the advanced heater. 

Appliances with special patterns of use (e.g. engine heaters) should each have a separate zone. Name each zone for easy recognition.

What is a weekly program?

Each ZONE must be given a WEEKLY PROGRAM telling the receivers in the zone how to act during a week. For each day of the week you can specify periods as COMFORT, ECO, AWAY or OFF, and the receivers will react accordingly:

 

  COMFORT

Your preferred COMFORT temperature is set either on the heater, or in NOBØ Energy Control APP, depending on your type of receiver.

ON-OFF receivers will be ON when the zone is in COMFORT status.

 

  ECO

Your preferred ECO temperature is set either on the heater, or in NOBØ Energy Control APP, depending on your type of receiver.

ON-OFF receivers will be OFF when the zone is in ECO status.

 

  AWAY

AWAY temperatur is fixed to 7°C and cannot be altered. ON-OFF receivers will be OFF when the zone is in AWAY status.

 

  OFF

All receivers are switched off completely.
