We cannot accept any liability for damage and losses due to noncompliance with these instructions. Read this manual completely before starting up the remote control.
• The handling of the appliance and the remote control are equitable. The last set temperature will be used by the instantaneous water heater. Make sure not to set a high temperature, inadvertently. We recommend to activate the temperature limit function (see manual of the instantaneous water heater).
• Flat batteries can leak and damage the remote control. Hence, re-place flat batteries right away as soon as battery symbol lights up in the display or the remote control does not response after keystroke.
• When the remote control is not to be used in the long term, remove the batteries.
• Do not expose the remote control to moisture.
• Keep the remote control and wall bracket away from credit cards or other cards with magnetic strips. The built in magnets can damage the card’s magnetic strip.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 3 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or ins truction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and under-stand the hazards involved.

Description Of Appliance

• The FXS 3 remote control set consists of the FX 3 remote control and the FXE 3 radio adapter. The FX 3 remote control allows a convenient operation of the instantaneous water heater even if the heater is installed under a sink or in a secondary room. An energy-efficient and adequate choice of the water temperature is furthermore possible under these conditions with the FX 3 remote control.
• The communication between the remote control and the instantaneous water heater is via Bluetooth®. Due to this technology the data transfer is secured even under difficult installation conditions.
• To connect the remote control to an instantaneous water heater other than DSN, the provided Bluetooth adapter must be installed.

Installation

Mounting the Wall Bracket
NOTE: Before attaching the wall bracket to the wall, ensure that the remote control has radio contact to the instantaneous water heater from its designated position.

• The wall bracket of the remote control can either be attached securely with the included adhesive tape, after stripping off the protection film (as shown in fig. 1) on a plain surface (e.g. a tile) or with suitable dowels (Ø 4 mm) and screws (as shown in fig. 2).
• When using the adhesive tape it is not possible to adjust the position afterwards because of the strong adherence of the glue. Therefore, pay attention to horizontal alignment when attaching it.
• The remote control is magnetically retained at the wall bracket.

Mounting the Bluetooth Adapter

Attention

• Before assembling the Bluetooth adapter, disconnect the instantaneous water heater from the mains supply!
• The adapter antenna is very fragile! Please be careful when mounting it.

Step 1: Remove the electronics cover
Step 2: Release the PCB from the catch and lift it slightly
Step 3: Connect the Bluetooth adapter. (Pay attention to the proper position of the connector!)
Step 4: Snap the PCB back into place
Step 5: Attach the electronics cover. Adaptor installation completed.

Initial Operation

1. Make sure that the power supply to the instantaneous water heater is switched on (fuse) and that the display (if available) of the instantaneous water heater shows the latest set value.
2. After inserting the batteries, the remote control briefly displays all symbols. Then “8A” and the percentage of battery charge are displayed and the display changes to the PIN entry “P1” .
3. Enter the first four digits of the Bluetooth PIN and press to confirm. The PIN can be found on the type plate of your instantaneous water heater (the set of numbers after BLE).
4. Press plus and mins to change the current digit. Press 1 to proceed to the next digit. After entering “P4” and pressing 1 , the PIN is applied.
5. After entering the pin, the remote control automatically connects to the instantaneous water heater, “D1” appears during the registration procedure. If there are several instantaneous water heaters within range, they may be checked first (display “D2…D3…” ). This can take up to one minute. To avoid this, hold the radio remote control directly in front of the instantaneous water heater to be registered.
6. Once connected, the display of the remote control switches to the set point value display.

Note

• If registration is unsuccessful, the display shows “E1”. The remote control quits the registration process and switches to standby mode. Repeat the registration process by pressing any button on the remote control.
• If the registration is still unsuccessful after a number of trials, check the pinning position of the radio adapter.
• With no remote control registered or without working Bluetooth connection, the instantaneous water heater heats to the prior selected set temperature.
• After replacing the batteries, a new registration is not required.
• After a power failure of the instantaneous water heater, a new registration is not required.
• Automatic re-registration after a battery change or power failure can take up to one minute
• If the instantaneous water heater makes noises (beeping, buzzing) after switching on, the software is in the process of updating.

Re-registration of the Remote Control
