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 flooring 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 which are enabled.
The currently active mode of operation is displayed at the top of the screen e.g. `Out All Day’ timer.

Out All Day

Timer Modes
Timer Modes offer the most efficient mode of operation for a predictable heat demand. Additional functions such as Advance’ andBoost’ allow the User to make temporary adjustments to timer schedules for a more flexible operation.
Each timer is broken down into 4 definable Heating On’ time periods and temperatures per day, for each day of the week. Each day consists of a 24-Hour period, starting and 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.

Out All Day

ADVANCE MENU BACK ENTER

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 instruction on enabling/disabling Adaptive Start.

Away Mode
Away Mode temporarily overrides the active mode before returning the Heater back 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 as 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 modified when Away mode is activated. The heater will also remember the last Away Mode Target Temperature defined while Away Mode is active.
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.

Setback Settings Setback is a function that only modifies 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 Setback 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 modified.
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 communications 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 activating 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 predictive function that only modifies 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-defined Heating On time so that the Target Temperature is achieved when the User defined the Heating On start time.
NOTE:
It is important that if multiple heaters are installed in one room that 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, that 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 preheating takes over one-hour, extreme environmental factors may be affecting the calculation or the heaters may be under sized for the room. Please contact us for support if your pre-heat time seems excessive.
NOTE:
This is a continuously 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.
