FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

Not only are our radiators Lot20 compliant, we also include functions to help manage efficiency more effectively.

Open Windows
This function can detect when windows are open, preventing energy waste. It is activated when the temperature drops rapidly in a short period of time (e.g. when a window in the room is opened). When the Open Window status is detected, the display shows the word “Opn” (Open = Open) and the radiator switches to ANTI-FROST mode (7°C). It ends automatically when the product detects that the window has closed, or when the MODE button is pressed.

INSTALLATION

We recommend using a Rointe Trusted Supplier. Find your nearest one by calling us on 0203 321 5928 or using the locator at www.rointe.co.uk.

• IMPORTANT: Before installation, please locate the metal tag situated on the back of the product and note the product reference and serial number. You will need this information to register your guarantee.
• WARNING: Do not install the product directly below a connection box or fixed socket outlet. Do not install or use outdoors. This product is designed for internal, upright wall-mounted installation using the installation kit and fixing items provided.

Using a unique design, ROINTE Palaos radiators utilise natural air convection to transfer heat. Cold air is introduced at the bottom of the radiator and raises its temperature by passing through the interior of the heating element and expelling at the top as warm air. To achieve perfect performance and even heat distribution, the product should be installed with minimum distances from the floor and adjacent walls. See “Diagram 1”. If the product is covered, this will interrupt air-flow and could cause overheating.

Diagram 1:

Inside the product packaging, you will find an installation kit. This includes brackets, screws and fixing plugs for brick, cement or compacted stone walls. You will need a drill, rubber mallet, spirit level and a pencil to complete the installation.

IMPORTANT: Please follow these instructions carefully.

1. Drill the wall considering Lf and Hf as fixing holes according to the model purchased:
2. After inserting the raw! plugs, install the 4 bracket guides (C in Diagram 2) supplied.
3. Insert the 2 upper wall brackets with the hook facing upwards and the lower wall brackets with the hook facing downwards.
4. Secure the brackets with the fastening screw.
5. Mount the radiator on the 2 upper wall brackets. Then fit the radiator onto the 2 lower wall brackets and finish tightening the 4 fixing screws.

CONTROL PANEL

OPERATION & PROGRAMMING

ON/STAND-BY

When in STAND-BY mode the radiator does not heat up, but the display will show the current time. Pressing the button for 2 seconds switches the product on or puts it into STAND-BY mode. Press for 2 seconds to switch the product on. When it is switched on for the first time, the time and day will flash. It’s important to configure these correctly in the next step.

Setting hour/day
The time and day must be set when you first switch the product on, or when the product is disconnected and reconnected from the power supply. It’s also possible to configure this by pressing the MODE button for 5 seconds when the product is in STAND-BY. The display will show the word “SET” and then suggests changing the TIME and DAY of the week. The time is set by holding down the INCREASE button until the current hour and minute value is reached. Click the MODE button to confirm the clock setting and continue to the day setting.

The display will show the word “DAT” and then suggests the day of the week. D1 corresponds to Monday, D2 to Tuesday and so on. Use the INCREASE button to set the current day of the week, e.g. if it’s Thursday press the button 4 times until you reach D4. Press the MODE button to confirm the day and exit the setting. Once the time has been set, it will stop flashing. If you product is in STAND-BY mode and you wish to turn it on, press the button for 2 seconds.

MANUAL modes
There are 4 Manual operating modes: Pilot Wire, Comfort, Night and Anti-Frost.

PILOT WIRE mode (only available on request)
The Pilot Wire is a special communication protocol that allows an external unit or control unit to control the radiator. It’s shown on the display by an arrow pointing to the house symbol. To activate Pilot Wire mode, press the MODE key once. The message “FP” will appear briefly along with an acoustic signal.

IMPORTANT: This function is not available unless requested, even if it is displayed on the menu.

CONFORT mode
Comfort mode is shown on the display by an arrow pointing to the sun symbol and the Comfort temperature on the screen. To activate the Comfort mode, press the MODE key once. The message “CON” will appear briefly along with an acoustic signal. You can set the desired temperature with the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons. The radiator remains on until the room reaches the selected temperature. This selected temperature is used during the WEEKLY PROGRAMMING mode (section 5.4) as the temperature set for the periods in Comfort mode.

NIGHT mode
Night mode is shown on the display by an arrow pointing to the moon symbol and the Night temperature on the screen. To switch from Comfort mode to Night mode, press the MODE button again. The word “RID” will appear briefly along with an acoustic signal. You can set the desired temperature with the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons. This temperature does not depend on the Comfort temperature and is usually used to set a temperature below 19°C, which is ideal for a good nights sleep. This selected temperature is used during the WEEKLY PROGRAMMING mode (section 5.4.) as the set temperature for the periods in Night mode.

ANTI-FROST mode
Anti-Frost mode is shown on the display by an arrow pointing to the snowflake symbol and 7°C temperature on the screen. To switch from Night mode to Anti- Frost mode, press the MODE button again. In this operating mode, the user cannot regulate the temperature as it remains fixed at 7°C. This mode prevents the room temperature from falling below 7°C.

AUTOMATIC modes
In Automatic mode, the product regulates the temperature according to the daily program created by the user, using the temperatures previously set in the Comfort and Night modes.

To switch from ANTI-FROST mode to PROGRAMMING mode, press the MODE button again. The word “PRO” will appear on the screen with an arrow pointing to the clock symbol (located at the bottom right of the screen). In the “clock” section of the screen, the current time of day is displayed, only if the time and day of the week have been set correctly when the product is first switched on (section 5.2).

The programming schedule is displayed on the left side of the screen by a succession of lines that represent 24 hours of the day. An arrow at the top of the screen indicates the operating mode (Comfort or Night). The temperature selected for that mode is shown on the display. To modify the temperatures of the Comfort or Night modes, access the corresponding mode and then use the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons to modify the temperature parameters.

WEEKLY PROGRAMMING modes
In order to proceed to the weekly programming, you must:

• Have established the correct time and day of the week (section 5.2)
• Be in PROGRAMMING mode (press the MODE button for 5 seconds until “PRO” appears on the screen. “FP” will appear first, then “PRO”.)

In this mode, it is possible to program each day of the week independently.

• Select the day with the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons (D1 = Monday, D2 = Tuesday, etc.). Press the MODE button to confirm. All the time bands for the day will then be displayed.
• The lower screen shows the time interval that must be programmed for each hour. Press INCREASE to activate the Comfort mode temperature OR the DECREASE to activate the Night mode temperature for that hour. Comfort mode is indicated by a strip on the sidebar. After each selection, the time interval will progressively advance (00h, 01h, 02h, 03h … ).
