SECURE ChannelPlus H37XL Series 2 Three Channel Central Heating and Hot

Water Programmer

ChannelPlus H37XL

The ChannelPlus family of electronic programmers offer a range of advanced features coupled with simplified ‘menu driven’ programming all designed to help save energy.
The ChannelPlus H37XL is designed to give independent time control over 3 channels of heating and hot water on a 7 day weekly programme. Each channel offers up to 3 programmed On / Off operations per day for each day of the week.
For day to day operation each channel has a manual 1 or 2 hour boost button as well as an advance button to bring forward the next programmed operation. The back lit display, automatic clock and menu driven programming are all features designed to make the operation of the ChannelPlus H37XL as simple as possible to use.

Display Information

The ChannelPlus H37XL programmer has a fully graphical, backlit display. In the normal run mode the display is divided into 3 sections, each section represents a controlled channel. The information displayed will change depending upon the settings made and which mode you are in.
During different programming modes and / or setting screens thecurrent time, day/date, holiday indicator will only appear when necessary, this is to reduce confusion during the programming process. This is explained further in later sections of this guide.

Activating The Back–lit Display
The display will illuminate for approximately 1 minute whenever a button is pressed. To illuminate the display for viewing purposes only press the green set button under the front flap twice.

Setting and Adjusting
When setting or adjusting, the programmer will automatically return to the running mode if no buttons are pressed for approximately 1 minute. If the setting or adjusting has not been finished, please start the procedure again.

Time of Day
The ChannelPlus H37XL incorporates a factory set clock and calendar which means that no adjustments should be necessary to the time of day and BST / GMT time changes take place automatically. If adjustments are required please refer to page 11of this booklet.

Manual Overrides

Boost Function – 1 Or 2 Hour Temporary Override
The boost facility will allow the user to either activate a channel which is currently ‘OFF’ for 1 or 2 hours, or to extend a current ‘on ’ period by 1 or 2 hours. To indicate the boost being activated the ‘BOOST’ button under the selected channel will stay illuminated for the duration of the boost/extension period. The display will also indicate the extension to the time visually on the screen.

Advance Function – Brings Forward The Next On Or Off Operation
The advance facility will allow the user to either bring a channel ‘ON’ which is currently ‘OFF’ or switch a channel ’OFF’ which is currently ‘ON’. To indicate the advance feature being activated the ‘ADVANCE’ button under the selected channel will stay illuminated until the next programme switching time, the user display will change to also indicate the status of the channel and the next switching time.

Programme Override Facilities

With the ChannelPlus H37XL programmer operating in the normal running mode it is possible to alter the functionality of the programme on each individual channel by means of the blue ‘select’ buttons under the front flap.
The options include:

• AUTO – Programmer follows all programmed ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ all times
• ALL DAY – Channel operates from 1st ‘ON’ time until 3rd ’OFF’, ignoring all switching times in between.
• ON -Channel will be constantly ‘ON’.
• OFF -Channel will be constantly ‘OFF’, there is the ability to turn off heating during summer without altering the programme times. 1 or 2 hour boost still available.

All of the settings above will be permanent, i.e. unaffected by programme times, until alteration by the user.
The diagram below illustrates how to alter the setting, it assumes that the channel is in the AUTO mode to begin with. As all channels are totally independent it is possible to have them set differently if necessary*.

Note : It may not be possible to programme heating and hot water independently on certain systems.
