Frico Control for Fan Heaters

FC Control enables many smart and automated functions and allows you to optimize your comfort with minimum effort, customized to your specific needs. Today, different Frico product groups such as air curtains and fan heaters can be installed in the same system, with great benefits.

Customize your comfort

There are four different packages to choose from, depending on your requirements; FC Direct, FC Smart, FC Pro and FC Building. In addition to our four packages, components can be added to expand and customize the system.

One system, numerous possibilities

Energy savings with precise control

Included in all levels

By receiving and reacting to information about the current room temperature in addition to the fan heater's inlet and outlet temperatures, the right amount of heat is added to avoid overshoots and thus reducing energy consumption.

Automatic heat blocking

Included in FC Pro

To avoid unnecessary heating, the system automatically blocks any additional heat when the outdoor temperature reaches a given value (15°C by default).

Enhanced water control

Available with FC Smart, FC Pro or FC Building

Water heat is more accurate controlled with improved water functions and modulating actuators. Automatic functions such as frost protection and return water temperature control (with sensor FCWTA) improve product functionality without any additional effort.

Easy set-up and operation

Included in all levels

The system automatically detects any products or sensors that are connected to it and immediately becomes functional. If anything is removed, a notification is sent out, and the system remains operational according to the new conditions.

Wireless sensors offer easier installations

Accessories for FC Smart and included in FC Pro

Indoor and outdoor temperatures can be measured by wireless sensors, which allows for quicker and easier installations as no preparatory work is needed to connect cables through walls.

Create zones

Available with FC Smart or FC Pro

The zone feature allows you to create different zones for different conditions and products in a larger system, to create maximum comfort and energy savings in all areas. All zones can be controlled from the same app.

Automatic fan speed control

Included in all levels

The fan speed is automatically adjusted in auto-mode, achieving the right amount of heat with the lowest possible sound level.
