Information

To support the installation of Aerona³ air source heat pumps and Aerona 290 heat pumps, Grant UK supply installer-friendly controller kits as well as Installation Packs. The Controller Kits offer installers intuitive and straightforward solutions for controlling Grant heat pump heating systems with the kit options including either the Aerona Smart Controller or Aerona Remote Controller. 

Aerona Smart Controller

Easy to install, the Aerona Smart Controller is a weather compensated controller for all of Grant’s air source heat pumps, including the Aerona³ heat pumps and Aerona 290 heat pumps, incorporating heating curve configuration and advanced monitoring software to help with maximising the heat pump’s efficiency. Installers can easily set, view and adjust the time schedules for the heating circuits, domestic hot water and the heat pump’s on/off schedule using the Aerona Smart Controller. The controller also provides access to an in-built system configurator, supporting the set-up and commissioning of an Aerona heat pump and the system circuits.

Why install the Aerona Smart Controller

With its modern black casing and touchscreen display, the Aerona Smart Controller is stylish in design, intuitive in its operation and features the following functionality:

  • Enables heating schedules to be configured including weekly or daily timed programming for heating circuits and domestic hot water (DHW)
  • Featuring the ability to independently adjust the heating curves for each zone, the Aerona Smart Controller calculates the optimum flow temperature for the heat pump in relation to the temperature outside the property
  • Supplied with the Aerona Smart WiFi Hub that enables remote control of the Aerona Smart Controller, either via the dedicated web-based portal or an app
  • Can control up to three heating zones plus the domestic hot water and designed for installation with wired and wireless thermostats and temperature sensors
  • Using the web-based portal, installers can remotely access error codes, performance data, heat pump and system settings to assist with diagnostics, servicing and maintenance
  • The Aerona Smart Controller supports the configuration of the hydraulic system settings with the controller proposing settings for different system set-ups
  • Easy installation, simple set-up and commissioning and provides installers with an overview of the system’s operation, sharing key information relating to the heat pump, buffer and DHW status
  • Features load compensation which uses intelligent communication between the temperature sensors and the heat pump, controlling the internal sensors to achieve the desired indoor temperature. Using both load compensation with weather compensation, this creates a dynamic load compensation that constantly refines the heating curve every few seconds
  • Please note, the Aerona Smart Controller is not compatible with Homely Controls.

Aerona Remote Controller

The Aerona Remote Controller is an alternative controller for Grant’s Aerona³ R32 heat pumps and is a wall-mounted white cased unit designed for installation in a convenient position for the homeowner to easily access. It is used to switch the Aerona³ heat pump on and off while also providing a display for room temperature, outdoor temperature, day/time display and access to the core heat pump and system parameters. The Aerona Remote Controller is not compatible for use with the Aerona 290 range.

Installation features of Aerona Remote Controller

The Aerona Remote Controller’s features and benefits include:

  • Enables every function of the Aerona³ heat pump to be adjusted via dedicated homeowner and installer only access parameters
  • Provides installers with real time operating data via the Monitor Display Function including information about the compressor speed, refrigerant discharge, outdoor temperature and more
  • Monitoring functionality and straightforward navigation via the LCD display assists engineers with the set-up and commissioning of Grant Aerona³ air source heat pumps
  • LCD display also lists clear symbols indicating the heat pump’s operation and error codes (when applicable) to help engineers with servicing, maintenance and diagnostics
  • Compatible with Homely Controls
  • A dedicated playlist of video tutorials for installers and engineers about the Aerona Remote Controller is available to view via Grant UK YouTube’s Channel.

How to order Grant Aerona Controls

Both the Aerona Smart Controller and Aerona Remote Controller are available to order from your local merchant as kits. Once you have selected the model of Grant heat pump you are installing, from either the Aerona 290 range or Aerona³ R32 range, you can then order the appropriate controller kit. If you are installing an Aerona 290 heat pump, there are two Aerona Smart Controller kits to suit all models (one kit for standard QR cylinders and a separate kit for QR Smart Pre-Plumbed models). If you are installing an Aerona³ model, you will need to order the appropriate Smart Controller kit or Remote Controller kit for the size of heat pump and type of cylinder you will be installing.

Each Smart Controller kit includes:

  • Smart Control Display, Wiring Centre, WiFi Hub, Outdoor Weather Sensor, 3x Water Temp Sensors, Flexible Hoses, Isolation Valves, Flow Sensor (flow sensor supplied for AeronaR32 models only). Please note, the Smart Controller kits compatible with QR Smart Pre-Plumbed cylinder models exclude the display and wiring centre.

Each Remote Controller kit includes:

  • Controller, Controller Cable, Flexible Hoses, Isolation Valves, Flow Setter

You can also then order optional extras and one of the compatible Installation Packs which include the core accessories you will need for installation. Please click here to download our guide to ordering a Grant heat pump.
