  1. Display Screen
  2. Menu’ Button
  3. Back’ Button
  4. Up and Down’ Arrows
  5. Enter’ Button
  6. Advance’ Button
  7. Heating Status

The heater is fitted 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 maybe caused by the expansion and contraction of the element as its temperature changes, 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.
  • Since the product has a blower to force the heat convection, it may have a higher noise compared to the panel heaters that does not have a blower. This is normal for these type of products.
  • Should the heater not operating, this may be caused by the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.
  • Since the product has a blower to force the heat convection, it may blow mild cold air especially at the start of the heating cycle and this is common for these type of products.

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 room temperature 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. ‘Manual’ or ‘Out All Day’ timer. When the heater is in a timer profile and trying to achieve or maintain a room temperature, ‘Heating On’ wil be displayed, otherwise, ‘Heating Off’ will be displayed. The words ‘Heating On / Off’ will not be displayed in a manual mode of operation. 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.Dimplex-LST050E-Low-Surface-Temperature-Heater-FIG- \(5\)
  2. Menu – Displays the Main Menu;
    • Boost – Activate Boost Mode.
    • Mode – Set the mode of operation.
    • Settings – Time/Date, Temperature units etc.
  3. Back returns to the previous screen.
  4. The Up and Down buttons are used to navigate through the menus and adjust the required room temperature on the main screen. The screen colour changes based on the temperature selected, showing deep blue through to bright red.
  5. Enter is used to enter sub menus and to confirm actions.
  6. 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.

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 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.
  • When the heater is in a timer profile and trying to achieve or maintain a room temperature, ‘Heating On’ will be displayed, otherwise, ‘Heating Off’ will be displayed.
  • 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 23 for instructions on enabling/disabling Adaptive Start.

Available Timer Modes

To choose a timer mode, press Menu from the home screen. Use the Up / Down keys to highlight ‘Mode’, 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 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 Hours, a Date and a Target Temperature.
  • The starting Hours and Date show ’00 hours’ and the current date. 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.

To select a continuous heat mode, first press the Menu button. Use the arrow keys to highlight ‘Modes’ and press the Enter button. From here, use the arrow keys to highlight the desired continuous heat mode and press Enter to select. You will then be returned to the home screen in your chosen mode.

Boost Mode

Boost can be activated at any time, when the product is set to any Timer or Continuous heat mode; even if Advance is active, this mode will provide a temporary ‘Boost’ of heat. For settings, see Boost settings on Page 22.
Boost Mode can be activated from the Home Screen by pressing Menu to access the Main Menu, then pressing Enter to select ‘Boost’. ‘Boost’ will always be listed as the top item on the list.

Dimplex-LST050E-Low-Surface-Temperature-Heater-FIG-
\(13\)

Activating Boost will present two selectable options: Boost Temp (Boost Target Temperature) and Boost Time (Boost Duration Countdown). The default values for these can be set in the Settings Menu.
The Up, Down and Enter buttons can be used to modify these values. Pressing Back will end Boost early, restoring the heater back to its previously active mode.

  • The Boost Temp can be set to any value within the Heater’s Target Temperature Range setting.
  • The Boost Time can be increased in the following increments: 30 mins, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours. These increments can be restricted with the Max. Boost Duration Range setting. To modify this range, see Boost Settings on Page 22.

Once the Boost Duration Countdown has reached 0, the Heater will return to the mode that was active before Boost was activated.

Product Locks

Product Locks are methods of locking the heater’s controller to restrict access to functions. This can be activated and configured via the 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 is the simplest locking method and does not utilise a PIN code. It is toggled on/off on the heater’s controller by pressing and holding the Back and Enter buttons for three seconds.
  • While Child Lock is active, the heater will continue to operate in whatever mode, with whatever settings it had before the lock was activated.
  • There are no exception rules with this lock, and the user can only choose to unlock the heater if they wish to change the temperature, modes or settings.

Heater Lock (PIN Lock)
Heater Lock is the most customisable and secure lock on the heater. This allows the heater to be configured in any way, then locked into those settings and modes.
When PIN Lock is activated, pressing the Menu button will show one item* that can be selected – ‘Unlock’. Selecting ‘Unlock’ prompts the User to complete the applicable Unlock action:

Dimplex-LST050E-Low-Surface-Temperature-Heater-FIG-
\(14\)

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:

Advance
Ability to activate using the ‘Advance Button’

Boost

  • Ability to activate using the ‘hotkey’ listed in the Main Menu
  • ability to modify the Boost Temperature
  • Ability to modify the Boost Duration

‘Advance Function’ Operation during PIN Lock
If Advance has been enabled during PIN Lock, the Advance button will remain active when PIN Lock is active. This will function in the same way it would if the controls were not locked: only if the Heater is Locked into a Timer Mode.

  • If Advance is enabled during UI lock, the Advance button will function as normal while the Heater is set to a Timer Mode.
  • If Advance is Disabled during UI lock, the Advance button will not function.

‘Boost Function’ Operation during PIN Lock
If enabled, Boost will function in the same way as it does when PIN Lock is not active unless modification of Boost Temperature and Boost Duration have been disabled.
Boost Temperature and Boost Duration will be set to the default values when ‘Boost’ is activated. If either of these values have been disabled during Product lock, when the user tries to modify them the heater’s display will show the message ‘Disabled’ and only the default value can be used. The default values can be changed outside of PIN Lock.

Three settings can be modified within this Menu:

  • Enable / Disable – The ‘Boost’ Menu Item can be Enabled/Disabled while PIN Lock is active.
  • Temperature Rule – Modifiable Boost Temperature while PIN Lock is active
    • Enable – While Boost is active, the User can modify this value as they normally would
    • Disable – Default value will be loaded. When the user tries to modify the value, the UI will show the following text: ‘Disabled’.
  • Duration Rule – Modifiable Boost Duration while PIN Lock is active.
    • Enable – While Boost is active, the User can modify this value as they normally would
    • Disable – Default value will be loaded. When the user tries to modify the value, the UI will show the following text: ‘Disabled’

Advance Lock

Enable / Disable – This setting allows the User to Enable or Disable the Advance button while UI Lock is active.

Boost Settings

Default Boost Target Temperature

  • This is the default Boost Target Temperature that is used when ‘Boost Mode’ is activated.
  • Defined as a temperature value, this must be within the Heater’s Target Temperature Range.
  • If the Target Temperature Range settings are changed then the Default Boost Temperature Range will be automatically changed to the closest valid temperature within Target Temperature Range.

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

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

Adaptive Settings

  • 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 Limited Heating output state if it detects an open window in the room it’s operating in.

  • Adaptive Start
    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: Adaptive Start
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. 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 pre-heating 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: Open Window Detection
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.
