First Time Power-On

A setup wizard will display when the product is powered on for the fi rst time. This will set the following:

  • Time, Date, Daylight Savings Time
  • Sound On/Off

For information on using the Heaters controls, refer to page 12. The Heater will then take the User to the Home Screen with the ‘Out All Day’ Timer Mode active.

Important During initial heat-up, some odour may be emitted due to the newness of materials used in manufacture. This is normal and will disappear after a short period of use. It is however advisable to keep the room well ventilated.

Operation

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE.
The controls are located on top of the heater. This consists of a display screen and six touch-sensitive buttons.

  • Display Screen
  • ‘Menu’ Button
  • ‘Back’ Button
  • ‘Up and Down’ Arrows
  • ‘Enter’ Button
  • ‘Advance’ Button
  • Heating Status

The heater is fi tted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room temperature to be controlled. The minimum room temperature is 7°C. The maximum temperature is set to 30°C. A temperature of 21°C is a common comfortable room temperature.

NOTE: Your heater may produce some noise during operation. This noise is caused by the expansion and contraction of the element as it changes temperature and is normal for this type of product. Whilst the noise produced is usually very quiet, certain environmental factors can make it more noticeable, such as hard fl ooring or minimal furnishings If you believe that the expansion noise is excessive, please contact us.

NOTE: Should the heater fail to operate, this may be caused by the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.
The heater controls can be easily adjusted by using the six buttons on the User Interface.

  1. The Home Screen shows the options available at each stage of adjustment. Here the current target temperature (setpoint) is displayed along with the mode of operation. Any use of the Advance function will be displayed here, and pressing Enter will show the functions that are enabled.

The currently active mode of operation is displayed at the top of the screen e.g. ‘Out All Day’ timer.

Dimplex-LPPE-Series-Low-Profile-500W-Panel-Heater-
FIG-5

When the heater is trying to achieve or maintain a room temperature, ‘Heating On’ will be displayed, otherwise, ‘Heating Off ‘ will be displayed.
When the controller buttons have not been pressed for a long period of time, the display will ‘sleep’ and the text will disappear. The heater is still on and active in whatever Mode it was set to.

  1. Menu – Displays the Main Menu;
  2. Boost – Activate Boost Mode
  3. Modes – Set the mode of operation.
  4. Settings – Time/Date, Temperature units etc.
  5. Back returns to the previous screen.
  6. The Up and Down buttons are used to navigate through the menus and adjust the required room temperature on the main screen. The screen color changes based on the temperature selected, showing deep blue through to bright red.
  7. Enter is used to enter sub menus and to confi rm actions.
  8. The Advance button is only used when a Timer Mode is active, it allows the timer schedule to be changed temporarily by forcing a Heating On period to begin or end early. For more information, see page 17.

Timer Modes

Timer Modes offer the most efficient mode of operation for a predictable heat demand. Additional functions such as ‘Advance’ and ‘Boost’ allow the User to make temporary adjustments to timer schedules for a more fl exible operation. Each timer is broken down into 4 defi enable ‘Heating On’ periods and temperatures per day, for each day of the week. Each day consists of 24 hours, starting and fi finishing at midnight.

‘Heating On’ periods are times when the heater is trying to achieve and maintain the target room temperature. It is possible to change the Target Temperature of a Heating On period when that period is active. This will temporarily adjust the Target Temperature for just that instance and will not permanently modify the settings for the timer in use.

NOTE:
If Adaptive Start is enabled, the heater will maintain the room at the required temperature for the duration of the heating period. To achieve this, the heater will begin heating the room before the start of the heating period to ensure the room is at the required temperature when the period starts.

If Adaptive Start (AS) is disabled, the heater will not operate until the beginning of the heating period. This should be taken into consideration when setting the heating periods. See page 21 for instructions on enabling/disabling Adaptive Start.

Available Timer Modes

To choose a timer mode, press Menu from the home screen. Use the arrow keys to highlight ‘Modes’, then press Enter to select. ‘Timer Mode’ should be highlighted, press Enter to select.

Away Mode

Away Mode temporarily overrides the active mode before returning the Heater to the previously active mode.
This is handy if you are temporarily away at the shops or on holiday and want your heating to resume normal operation automatically when you return.
While active, Away Mode can maintain a minimum room temperature. By default, this is set to 7 °C (frost protection temperature). This can be modifi ed when Away mode is activated. The heater will also remember the last Away Mode Target Temperature defi ned while The

Away countdown is set in Time, a Date, and a Target Temperature.
Date and Hours are set separately on the heater, making the feature useful for popping out to the shops or going away on holiday.

  • The date set is the return date; therefore, Away mode will end at 23:59 of the day before. E.g. if a return date of 02.02.2018 is set, Away mode will end at 23:59 on 01.02.2018.
  • If hours are set, this will extend away mode end from 23:59 on the day before the date set.
  • If only hours and no date is set, Away Mode will count from either the current time or if a date is set.

NOTE: The Back button can be used to end the Away Mode countdown early.

Continuous Heat Modes

A Continuous Heat mode is effectively a constant Heating On period. The Heater will remain in a Continuous Heat mode indefi nicely until the mode is changed by the User.

Product Locks

  • Product Locks are methods of locking the heater’s controller to restrict access to functions. This can be activated and confi gured via the Advanced Settings Menu.
  • When Product Lock is activated, the heater continues to run in whichever mode is currently active and any/all wireless communications remain active if enabled.

Child Lock
This locking method does not utilize a PIN code and is toggled on/off on the heater’s controller by pressing and holding the Back and Enter buttons for three seconds. It is a full Product lock with no exception rules.

PIN Lock
In PIN Lock, all UI buttons other than the Menu button are disabled unless Advance has been enabled during UI Lock (see section ‘Product Lock Settings’ on page 20).

In the Main Menu all buttons are active. Two items can be selected:

  • Boost – Activates Boost Mode. This function can be restricted, see below.
  • Unlock – Selecting ‘Unlock’ prompts the User to complete the unlock action for the currently active.

PIN Lock Exceptions
It is possible to allow the ‘Advance’ and ‘Boost’ functions to be enabled/disabled when PIN Lock is active.

There are up to 4 exceptions. These exceptions include:

Boost Settings

  • Default Boost Target Temperature
  • This is the default Boost Target Temperature that is used when ‘Boost Mode’ is activated.

Max. Boost Duration

  • This is the maximum length of time that the user can activate ‘Boost’.
  • Shown in minutes (when under an hour) or hours (if over an hour) in the following increments: 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours.
  • The value chosen will be the max allowed when the boost is activated.

Setback Settings
Setback is a function that only modifi es Timer Mode operation. When Setback is enabled it overrides any Heating Off period to maintain a constant temperature.
This can be used to prevent the room temperature from falling below a minimum value while there is no demand for heat (Heating On).
The value of this temperature is restricted to a value between 7 and 18 °C. This is because Setbacks should not be treated as a regular Heating On period.

Date & Time Settings
This allows the Time, Date, and Daylight Savings Time settings to be modifi ed.

Sound
Audio feedback when the user presses a button can be enabled or disabled here. ‘Comms’ (Communications)
This allows Wireless Connectivity features to be enabled or disabled.
Entering this menu item will display a list of available communication methods to that heater.

Adaptive
Open Window Detection
This is a global setting that can interrupt any active mode. Activating this setting enables Open Window Detection to switch the Heater to a Heating Off state if it detects an open window in the room it’s operating in.

NOTE:
In environments where the product may read sudden decreases in temperature, this feature may activate in error. This can occur in drafty or poorly insulated environments as well as if the heater is undersized for the room. This feature should be disabled using the instructions above if activated for reasons other than the intended purpose. If you think that your environment is not as described here and this feature is activating, please contact our customer care team with the details on the rear page of this document.

Adaptive Start Setting
Adaptive Start is the predictive function that only modifi es Timer Mode operation. This function models the heating characteristics of the room and uses that information to pre-heat the room for only the time required to achieve the Target Temperature by the start of the Heating On period.

  • For example, with Adaptive Start off , the Heating On time is the time that the Heater will begin to try and achieve the Target Temperature. With Adaptive Start On, the Heater will begin to heat the room before the User ned Heating On time so that the Target
  • Temperature is achieved when the User defi ned the Heating On start time.

NOTE:
It is important that if multiple heaters are installed in one room all heaters have the Adaptive Start (AS) function enabled. If this is not the case, heaters with AS enabled will pre-heat the room to the desired target temperature before the heaters with AS disabled attempt to output heat.

It is likely that if two heaters are required in one room, the output from one heater may not be sufficient to heat the room alone. This may cause the pre- heat time calculation to extend to a large degree if the heaters do not all have AS enabled. This may lead to heat
at unwanted times and excessive wear to some heaters.

A two-hour limit is enforced on the calculation, however, if all heaters have AS enabled and pre-heating takes over one hour, extreme environmental factors may be affecting the calculation or the heaters may be undersized for the room. Please contact us for support
if your pre-heat time seems excessive.

NOTE:
This is a continuous learning function and will be affected daily by changes in the heater’s environment. The heater will take into account the starting temperature of the room so pre-heating should remain accurate.

Advanced Settings

These settings can be used to significantly change the operation of the heater. While useful for very specifi c requirements, there is a much higher risk of User error and unintended consequences of changing these settings compared to the top-level settings menu. It is recommended that these settings are only modified by trained professionals.

  • To navigate to the Advanced settings menu, from the home screen:
  • Press and hold the Advance and Menu buttons for 3 seconds.
  • Each of the following headings relates to an item in the settings menu.
