Clip on glass
Clip On Glass – Can you use Clip On Glass on a Nobø Front?
Not suitable for Nobø Front as it would trap heat and cause overheating.
Curtain brackets – Can curtain brackets be used on heaters with Clip On Glass?
Not compatible, as the glass extends beyond the heater's width.
Thermostats
Blind plug – Is there a blind plug so that the heater can be controlled with an external thermostat?
No, for this purpose, we have slave heaters without an internal thermostat.
Simple thermostat – I want a heater with a thermostat that is very simple without control and weekly program?
All heaters must have control or a weekly program due to Eco directives. If you do not set the clock on the NCU 2Te during initial setup, it will function as desired.
NCU control unit – I want to prevent unauthorized people from adjusting the temperature on the heaters?
Covers are available to prevent unauthorized adjustments. There are also options for the on/off switch.
NCU 2Te – What happens to the settings on NCU 2Te during a power outage?
The clock has a battery backup of about 48 hours. If the heater is without power for longer, you will need to reset the clock. Program settings are not affected by power outages.
NCU 2Te – I have set a weekly program, but it turns on earlier than it should?
The NCU 2Te uses adaptive heating, learning from the last ten periods to determine when to turn on the heat to reach the set temperature on time.
NTB-2R – The display says that the floor sensor is not found?
Ensure the sensor is connected and the display part is properly in place.
NTB-2R – The thermostat shows the wrong temperature?
Check if you have selected the correct sensor value. The one supplied with the thermostat is 22KOhm.
NTB-2R – Can I calibrate the temperature on the thermostat?
Yes, you can calibrate +/- 6 degrees in the advanced menu. When using "room+floor" sensor mode, only the room sensor can be calibrated.
NTB-2R – I use the thermostat as a power regulator, in the Nobø app it says I can adjust the temperature, what is correct?
When used as a power regulator, adjustments must be made directly on the thermostat, not through the app.
NTB-2R – I use the thermostat without control, what happens to the settings during a power outage?
If the outage lasts over 48 hours, you will need to reset the clock. Other settings are not affected.
NTB-2R – I have set up a thermostat, adjusted the clock, but after adding it to the HUB, the clock disappears?
This is normal as the thermostat disables the clock when connected to the Nobø HUB.
Can I upgrade NTB-2R/2T myself or do I need an electrician?
For a simple upgrade, i.e., just replacing the display module, an electrician is not needed. Notice, this will only work with NTB the SWT is not cross compatible with NTB power module.

How to find the QR code on the screen?
On first startup, select "yes" when the screen asks "use app?". The QR code will be displayed. Alternatively, menu > Settings > advanced > pairing.
I have the system at the cabin, what happens if I lose internet?
If you lose the internet connection at the cabin where you have the FutureHome system, you will no longer be able to control the panel heaters or other smart devices via the FutureHome app or web interface. The system will usually continue to operate based on the last settings stored locally, and the devices will maintain the last known setpoints.
I performed a factory reset on my controller, but now it struggles to reconnect. How can I solve this?
If the controller has trouble reconnecting after a factory reset, try disconnecting it from power for a while before trying again. This helps clear any remaining settings. After waiting, reconnect it and try again. If the problem persists, check your network and other devices.
How to find the type label?
The type label is attached to the back of the panel heater, under the user interface. SPC is equipped with its own user interface. This label contains a QR code and a unique serial number for connecting to the app.
How can I see the set temperature and measured temperature?
The current active setpoint is displayed on the home screen. The temperature indicator shows the current room temperature. The arrow next to the indicator indicates the setpoint.
Can I use Wi-Fi for connection?
Not directly, connection must be made via Hub/gateway
What is "adaptive start" and can it be turned off?
Adaptive start is a smart feature that ensures your room is warm exactly when you need it. The heater "learns" how long it takes to heat the room and starts automatically at the right time to reach the desired temperature at the set time. This is off by default and can be turned on in settings.
Can I limit the temperature range that can be set?
No
How can I lock the controller?
Child lock: Hold the enter and back buttons for 3 seconds.
Can I adjust the frost protection temperature?
No, frost protection is set to 7°C
Can I set an offset for the temperature?
No
I have set a weekly program, but it turns on earlier than it should?
"SPC is equipped with adaptive (self-learning) heating. It uses the last ten periods to calculate when to turn on the heat so that it will be warm at the time set in the program. Note that this can be turned off in settings."
I have panel heaters controlled by Futurehome, what happens if Futurehome stops working?
If your FutureHome system stops working, your panel heaters will normally continue to operate independently, but you will lose the smart features and remote control that FutureHome offers. The heaters will either continue to heat based on the last known setpoint before the system stopped working, or they will revert to a default setting. You should still be able to adjust the temperature manually directly on the heaters. It is also a good idea to check if there is a local control unit that can be used to control the panel heaters when the central unit is not working.
What happens to the settings on SPC during a power outage?
The clock has a battery backup of about 48 hours. If the heater has been without power longer than this, you will need to reset the clock. Program choices and other settings are not affected by power outages.
