FUNCTIONS

  1. OPERATION MODES
    This function enables the user to activate the selected operation mode in all main controllers and in all zones. It is possible to choose from normal mode, Eco mode, holiday mode and comfort mode. For each mode the user may define the temperature in the main controller.

  2. LANGUAGE
    This option is used to select the language version.

  3. TIME SETTINGS
    This function is used to set current time and date. It is also possible to select Download function, which involves downloading time data from the Internet and sending it automatically to the main controller.

  4. SCREEN SETTINGS
    This functions enables the user to adjust the screen parameters to individual needs.

  5. SCREENSAVER
    The user may activate a screensaver which will appear after a pre-defined time of inactivity. In order to return to the main screen view, tap on the screen. The user may set the screensaver in the form of a clock, date or external temperature. It is also possible to select no screensaver.

  6. THEME
    This function enables the user to choose the colour version of the controller screen.

  7. SOUND
    This function enables the user to activate/deactivated button sounds.

  8. REGISTRATION
    This function enables the user to register EU-M-9r control panel in EU-L-9r external controller.
    In order to register EU-M-9r control panel, follow these steps:
    • Select Registration in EU-M-9r (Menu > Registration)
    • Select Registration in the external controller menu (Menu > Registration)
    Select the place of registering the main controller ( module 1, module 2, module 3, module 4).
    NOTE
    • It is possible to register up to four EU-L-9r external controllers to EU-M-9r panel. In order for the registration process to be successful, it is necessary to register the external controllers one by one. If the registration process is activated in more than one external controller at a time, it will end up in failure.

  9. MODULE WI-FI
    Internet module is a device enabling the user remote control of the heating system. The user controls the status of all heating system devices on a computer screen, a tablet or a mobile phone. Online control is possible via https://emodul.eu. It is described in detail in a separate section. After switching the module on and selecting DHCP option, the controller automatically downloads such parameters as IP address, IP mask, gateway address and DNS address from the local network. If any problems arise when downloading the network parameters, they may be set manually.
    Required network settings
    For the Internet module to work properly, it is necessary to connect the module to the network with a DHCP server and an open port 2000.
    After connecting the Internet module to the network, go to the module settings menu (in the master controller).
    If the network does not have a DHCP server, the Internet module should be configured by its administrator by entering appropriate parameters (DHCP, IP address, Gateway address, Subnet mask, DNS address).
    1. Go to the WiFi module settings menu.
    2. Select “ON”.
    3. Check if the “DHCP” option is selected.
    4. Go to “WIFI network selection”
    5. Select your WIFI network and enter the password.
    6. Wait for a while (approx. 1 min) and check if an IP address has been assigned. Go to the “IP address” tab and check if the value is different from 0.0.0.0 / -.-.-.-.
    a) If the value is still 0.0.0.0 / -.-.-.-.- , check the network settings or the Ethernet connection between the Internet module and the device.
    7. After the IP address has been assigned, start the module registration in order to generate a code which must be assigned to the account in the application.

  10. PROTECTIONS
    Select Protections in the main menu to configure parental lock settings. The user may select Auto-lock ON or Auto-lock PIN code functions – it is possible set an individual PIN code for entering the controller menu.

  11. FACTORY SETTINGS
    This function enables the user to restore the Fitter’s menu settings saved by the manufacturer.

  12. SOFTWARE VERSION
    When this option is selected, the display shows the logo of the CH boiler manufacturer and the controller software version.

HOW TO CONTROL THE HEATINGSYSTEM VIA

  1. REGISTRATION
    The website offers multiple tools for controlling your heating system. In order to take full advantage of the technology, create your own account:, once logged in, register the module. The EU-M-9r controller in Wi-Fi →Registration generates a code which should be entered while registering the new module.TECH CONTROLLERS EU M 9r Wired Control Panel -

  2. HOME TAB
    Home tab displays the main screen with tiles illustrating the current status of particular heating system devices. Tap on the tile to adjust the operation parameters:TECH CONTROLLERS EU M 9r Wired Control Panel - HOME

    NOTE
    „No communication” message means that the communication with the temperature sensor in a given zone has been interrupted. The most common cause is the flat battery which needs replacing.
    Tap on the tile corresponding to a given zone to edit its pre-set temperature:TECH CONTROLLERS EU M 9r Wired Control Panel - set
temperatureScreenshot presenting an example setting change
    The upper value is the current zone temperature whereas the bottom value is the pre-set temperature.
    The pre-set zone temperature depends by default on the weekly schedule settings. Constant temperature mode enables the user to set a separate pre-set temperature value which will apply in the zone regardless of the time.
    By selecting Constant temperature icon, the user may define the pre-set temperature which will apply for a pre-defined period of time. Once the time is up, the temperature will be set according to the previous schedule (schedule or constant temperature without time limit).TECH CONTROLLERS EU M
9r Wired Control Panel - Constant temperatureTemperature with time limit – settings
    Tap on Schedule icon to open up the schedule selection screen:TECH

selectionScreenshot presenting weekly schedule choice
    Two types of weekly schedules are available in EU-M-9r controller:
    1. Local schedule
    It is a weekly schedule assigned to a particular zone. Once the controller detects the room sensor, the schedule is assigned automatically to the zone. It may be edited by the user.
    2. Global schedule (Schedule 1-5)
    Global schedule may be assigned to any number of zones. The changes introduced in the global schedule apply to all zones where the global schedule has been activated.
    After selecting the schedule select OK and move on to edit the weekly schedule settings:TECH CONTROLLERS EU M 9r Wired Control Panel - schedule
settingsScreenshot showing the screen for editing the settings of the weekly schedule
    Editing enables the user to define two programs and select days when the programs will be active (e.g. from Monday to Friday and the weekend). The starting point for each program is the pre-set temperature value. For each program the user may define up to 3 time periods when the temperature will be different from the pre-set value. The time periods must not overlap.
    Outside the time periods the pre-set temperature will apply. The accuracy of defining the time periods is 15 minutes.TECH CONTROLLERS EU M 9r Wired

    The user may customize the home page view by changing zone names and corresponding icons. In order to do it, go to Zones tab:

  4. MENU TAB
    In Menu tab, the user may activate one of four operation modes: normal, holiday, Eco or comfort.

  5. STATISTIGS TAB
    Statistics tab enables the user to view the temperature values for different time periods e.g. 24h, a week or a month. It is also possible to view the statistics for the previous months.

  6. SETTINGS TAB
    Settings tab enables the user to register a new module and change the e-mail address or the password.
