Infrared control: technical questions answered

Answers about measurement, controls, emitters and integration.

What does SAFETY SENSE measure?

It measures temperature without contact at defined points in the back application area. This is local skin-temperature feedback, not a measurement of core body temperature.

Why are there two sensing points?

They monitor defined upper and lower areas of the back. Correct positioning remains necessary; follow the instructions supplied with your model.

Which component regulates the emitter?

SAFETY SENSE supplies readings. ONE-CONTROL processes them and adjusts compatible emitter output according to the configured operating logic.

What does closed-loop mean?

The controller uses measured feedback to influence output. New readings then update the controller, so measurement and adjustment form a repeated process.

Is cabin air temperature the same measurement?

No. It describes the surrounding air. Temperature at the back describes conditions at the defined sensing area.

Does a timer provide the same information?

No. A timer controls duration. It does not measure local temperature conditions.

What happens if I leave the sensing area?

Depending on the configuration, the system can enter standby. The exact indicators, timing and restart behaviour are described in the model-specific instructions.

Do I need a dedicated mobile app?

ONE-CONTROL can provide local browser-based access to system information and configured functions. Available functions depend on the installed version.

What are CORE-RADIANT and CORE-FLEX?

CORE-RADIANT 230 / 110 is a fixed emitter platform for the corresponding electrical system environments. CORE-FLEX 24 is a 24 V textile emitter platform for application-specific integration.

Can the technology be retrofitted?

Potential retrofit or OEM integration is assessed individually. Electrical, thermal, mechanical and certification requirements must be checked for the complete product.

Are all functions available in every product?

No. Emitter type, programme selection, controls and other functions depend on model, configuration and software version.
