Quick introduction to your R27V2 programmer:
The R27 V2 programmer will be used to control two separate zones in your central heating system. Each zone can be independently operated and programmed to suit your needs. Each zone has up to three daily heating programs called P1, P2 and P3. See Page 13 for instructions on how to adjust the program settings. On the LCD screen of your programmer you will see two separate sections, one to represent each zone. Within these sections you can see what mode the zone is currently in. When in the AUTO mode, it will show when the zone is next programmed to be switched ON or OFF. For ‘Mode Selection’ please see page 11 for further explanation. When the zone is ON, you will see the red LED for that zone light up. This indicates that power is being sent from the programmer on this zone.

Mode Selection

There are four modes available for selection.

AUTO The zone operates up to three ‘ON/OFF’ periods per day (P1,P2,P3).
ALL DAY The zone operates one ‘ON/OFF’ period per day. This operates from the first ‘ON’ time to the third ’OFF’ time.
ON The zone is permanently ON.
OFF The zone is permanently OFF.
Press Select to change between AUTO, ALL DAY, ON & OFF.
The current mode will be shown on the screen under the specific zone.
