COMPANY SHOWCASE SPONSORED STORIES FROM THE INDUSTRY DIGI-LINE ELECTRIC RADIATORS – THE SMART CHOICE FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT WISKA LAUNCHES THE TKS 32, A MULTIPLE CABLE ENTRY SOLUTION THAT IS HELPING TO EASE INSTALLATION The Digi-Line range of electric radiators from Electrorad feature unique independent double panel control, built-in energy monitoring (on the TouchE3 option), and virtual open window sensors, making Digi-Line an effi cient and easy to control alternative to traditional central heating. It is also an ideal replacement for outdated storage heaters and panel heaters. Unlike competitor models that only feature a single panel, Digi-Line radiators are available with two heating panels, meaning considerably more heat power can be produced. Also, the two heat panels can operate separately from each other to ensure the most effi cient use of energy and maximum comfort. All Digi-Line radiators also incorporate virtual open window sensors that will automatically respond accordingly should a window be opened. The radiator will sense a draft and stop heating until the window has been closed. Also key to its energy management capabilities is an energy monitor that is built-in to Digi-Line’s Wi-Fi hub (TouchE3) to enable wireless control and direct management of home heating from anywhere in the world. Wiska has drawn upon its 98 years of expertise in cable entry systems to develop a new type of cable entry. The TKS 32. The TKS 32 is a new and innovative solution that is exciting contractors across the UK. The TKS 32 is a membrane with four entries giving IP66 protection and cable retention (according to EN62444) for quick and easy installation.
