ATC DPH500-ECO 500W Digital Panel heater Almeria ECO

The ATC Almeria Eco DPH500-ECO is a white 500W electric panel heater with an electronic thermostat, weekly programming and an easy-to-read TFT display. It provides room heating with controls built into the heater, allowing the temperature and operating schedule to be managed locally.

Its 440mm height and 440mm width make it worth considering where wall space is limited. The 500W output should be selected against the room’s calculated heating requirement, rather than its dimensions alone.

Programme heating around the way the room is used

The integrated seven-day timer supports up to four Comfort heating periods per day. Different daily schedules can be entered, with a copy function to simplify setting several days alike.

Two adjustable temperature settings—Comfort and Economy—allow the heater to maintain different temperatures during occupied and quieter periods. Outside the programmed Comfort times, it maintains the Economy setting, so a scheduled “off” period does not necessarily mean that heating stops completely.

For straightforward temperature control without a schedule, Manual mode allows the set temperature to be adjusted directly.

A dedicated Boost function provides temporary heating, while Program Advance brings forward the next scheduled period. These controls are useful when the normal routine changes without needing to rewrite the weekly programme.

The heater also includes Landlord mode, a code-protected runback arrangement for installations requiring limits on user-adjustable time and temperature. This can help landlords and building managers provide local heating control within a defined operating range.

A separate keypad lock helps prevent accidental changes to the controls.
