The Auto Timer (2-Hour Safety Shutoff) Due to US regulations regarding heaters controlled from outside the home, all Infratech Bond controllers feature a hard-coded Auto Timer.
Function: The heater will automatically turn OFF after 2 hours of operation.
-
Resetting the Timer: Any interaction with the device resets the 2-hour countdown.
Example: If the heater has been on for 1 hour, and you change the dimming level from 50% to 75%, the timer resets back to a full 2 hours.
This applies to physical button presses, App commands, Schedules, or Voice commands (Alexa/Google).
User Note: There is no audible "beep" on the device before it turns off, though the App displays a countdown.
