Envirostat FP6E: 6kW Soft Start Frost Protection Thermostat

The Envirostat FP6E Frost Protection Controller is designed to protect pipes and water systems from freezing in environments where insulation alone is insufficient. Delivering up to 6kW of controlled heating power, it ensures reliable frost prevention while conserving energy.

Equipped with soft start technology, the FP6E reduces inrush currents, prolonging the life of heating elements. Its built-in encapsulated 2m temperature sensor provides accurate monitoring across an adjustable range of -10°C to +10°C (or 0°C to +20°C with alternative calibration). The IP65-rated housing makes it suitable for harsh or outdoor installations.

The FP6E variant features local alarm indication, while the FP6i extends functionality with BMS alarm integration for remote monitoring. Easy to install and highly reliable, the Envirostat FP6E is trusted across industries to control heater tapes and IR quartz lamps, prevent frozen pipes, and support water systems in reducing Legionellaceae risks.

Product Variants:

• FP6E – Frost Protection 6kW: Offers temperature control with alarm indication functions.
• FP6i – Frost Protection 6kW: Includes additional Building Management System (BMS) alarm features for enhanced monitoring.

Key Features:

• Energy-Efficient Design: Ensures optimal frost protection while conserving energy.
• Simple Setup and Installation: User-friendly design allows for quick and easy installation.
