Remote control FX for instantaneous water heaters
Safety notes
This remote control may only be installed and started up for the first time by
an authorized specialized company. Responsibility for compliance with the
applicable standards and installation regulations rests entirely on the
company installing the appliance. We cannot accept any liability for damage
and losses due to non-compliance with these instructions. Read this manual
completely before starting up the remote control.
The handling of the appliance and the remote control are equitable. The last
set temperature will be used by the instantaneous water heater. Make sure not
to set a high temperature, inadvertently. We recommend activating the
temperature limit function (see the manual of the instantaneous water heater).
Flat batteries can leak and damage the remote control. Hence, replace flat
batteries right away as soon as the battery symbol lights up in the display or
the remote controldoes not respond after a keystroke.
When the remote control is not to be used in the long term, remove the
batteries.
Do not expose the remote control to moisture.
The remote control and the wall bracket should not get close to items with
magnetic strips, like credit cards etc. The built-in magnets can damage the
card’s magnetic strip.
Description of the appliance
The FX remote control allows a convenient operation of the instantaneous water
heaters MCX, CEX, CFX, DEX, and DSX* even if the heater is installed under a
sink or in a secondary room. An energy-efficient and adequate choice of the
water temperature is furthermore possible under these conditions with the FX
remote control.
The communication between the remote control and the instantaneous water
heater is bi-directional. Due to this technology, the data transfer is secured
even under difficult installation conditions.
To connect this remote control to an MCX, CEX, DEX or DSX instantaneous water
heater, the provided transmission unit must be installed.

Installation
Figure 1: Installation with adhesive tape
Figure 2: Optional installation with dowels and screws
5.1 Mounting the wall bracket
- Before attaching the wall bracket to the wall, ensure that the remote control has radio contact to the instantaneous water heater from its designated position.
- The wall bracket of the remote control can either be attached securely with the included adhesive tape, after stripping off the protection film (as shown in fig. 1) on a plain surface (e.g. a tile) or with suitable dowels (Ø 4 mm) and screws (as shown in fig. 2).
- When using the adhesive tape it is not possible to adjust the position afterward because of the strong adherence of the glue. Therefore, pay attention to a horizontal alignment when attaching it.
- The remote control is magnetically retained at the wall bracket.
5.2.1 Mounting the transmission unit inside an MCX
Attention!
Before assembling the transmission unit disconnect the instantaneous water
heater from the main supply! Pay attention to the proper position of the
connector! The connector
has to be fitted into the notch properly.

Attention!
Before assembling the transmission unit disconnect the instantaneous water
heater from the main supply! Pay attention to the proper position of the
connection! The connector has to be fitted into the notch properly.

heater from the main supply! Pay attention to the proper position of the
connector! The connector
has to be fitted into the notch properly.

Initial operation
In delivery conditions, the remote control is registered to radio channel 50. We recommend changing this channel at the initial installation.
- Make sure that the power supply to the instantaneous water heater is switched on (fuse) and that the LED of the MCX display or the LCD of the CEX / DEX / DSX display shows the latest set value.
- After inserting the batteries into the remote control, its display indicates all symbols for about 4 seconds. During this time, press and hold the arrow buttons ∧ and ∨ for a short time. Then the display shows the current channel (1 to 99) and a flashing radio symbol
- Use the arrow buttons ∧ and ∨ chooses the desired channel. Press the button to confirm the selected channel number. The display changes to registration mode and shows “–“as well as a flashing radio symbol.
- Place the remote control directly in front of the instantaneous water heater.
- The display switches to the setpoint value display.
In the case of an unsuccessful registration, the display indicates “no” by a
flashing radio signal after 45 seconds. The remote control quits the
registration process and switches to standby mode. By pressing a button the
registration process will be repeated.
Notes:
- With no remote control registered or without a working radio connection, the instantaneous water heater heats to the prior selected set temperature.
- After replacing the batteries, a new registration is not required.
- Only register again after performed work reset (CEX, CFX, DEX, and DSX) or when the remote control display continually indicates “no”.
Handling
The remote control is equipped with the following functions:
-
Arrow buttons
You can set the required temperature gradually to a lower or higher value using the arrow two buttons ∧ and ∨ .
Note: If the temperature display is set to “–“ with an arrow button, the instantaneous water heater switches off the heating function. -
Program buttons
The two program 1 buttons 2 and allow to quickly select the preset temperature without the need to press the ∧ and ∨
The factory setting for the program is 35°C and for the program it is 48°C. You can assign your own set- of things for the program buttons:
- Select the desired temperature with and
- To save the current temperature, press the program button or for about two seconds.
Displayed information
The representation corresponds to the temperature display of the CEX, DEX or
DSX display after a keystroke on the remote control. The description of the
function can be found in the manual of the instantaneous water heater.
Radio communication
The display of the water heaters CEX and DSX show a radio symbol if the
remote control is detected. This radio symbol is displayed on the remote
control if a button is pressed or the initial operation is in process.
Battery
If the batteries of the remote control are flat, the battery symbol is
displayed. In this case, exchange the batteries within a short period of time
(see chapter “Battery replacement“).
Energy saving mode ECO
The symbol ECO shows that the appliance works in an energy-saving mode,
i.e. the momentary energy consumption is subject to the selected temperature
and to the flow rate in the energy-saving mode.
Power limit MAX
If the full output of the instantaneous water heater does not suffice to heat
the tapped quantity of water, this will be indicated by MAX on the LCD.
Operation with preheated water
If the cold water inlet temperature is higher than the set value of the hot
water outlet, the instantaneous water heater will not heat. In this case, no
power is emitted and the sun symbol is displayed.
Communication of the remote control
- After a keystroke, the remote control connects to the instantaneous water heater. When tapping water without a preceding keystroke, the remote control’s display will not be refreshed.
- After a keystroke, the remote control updates its display every 10 seconds as long as the water is flowing. When the water flow stops the remote control updates its display three more times before the remote control enters the energy-saving mode.
- Without a working radio connection, the appliance heats to the prior selected set value.
