CLAGE FXS 3 Remote Control Kit imageSafety 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 noncompliance 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 to activate the temperature limit function (see manual of the instantaneous water heater). Flat batteries can leak and damage the remote control.

Hence, replace flat batteries right away as soon as battery symbol lights up in the display or the remote control does not response after 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. Keep the remote control and wall bracket away from credit cards or other cards with magnetic strips. The built in magnets can damage the card’s magnetic strip. This appliance can be used by children aged 3 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children without supervision.

Description of appliance

The FXS 3 remote control set consists of the FX 3 remote control and the FXE 3 radio adapt-er. The FX 3 remote control allows a convenient operation of the instantaneous water heaters DEX Next, DSX Touch, DSX Touch Twin, CEX and CFX 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 3 remote control. The communication between the remote control and the instantaneous water heater is via Bluetooth®. Due to this technology the data transfer is secured even under difficult installation conditions. To connect the remote control to a DEX Next or CEX instantaneous water heater, the provided radio adapter must be installed.

Installation

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 the fig. 1) on a plain surface (e.g. a tile) or with suitable dowels (Ø 4 mm) and screws (as shown in the fig. 2).
  • When using the adhesive tape it is not possible to adjust the position afterwards 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.

Initial operation

  1. Make sure that the power supply to the instantaneous water heater is switched on (fuse) and that the display of the instantaneous water heater (if available) shows the lat-est set value.
  2. Insert the batteries into the remote control and hold it in front of the instantaneous water heater.
  3. The remote control displays “bt” and automatically connects to the instantaneous water heater. This may take up to one minute.
  4. Once connected, the display of the remote control switches to the setpoint value display.In the case of an unsuccessful registration, the display indicates “no”. The remote control quits the registration process and switches to standby mode. By pressing a button the registration process will be repeated.If the registration is impossible after a number of trails, check the pinning position of the radio adapter.

Notes:

  • With no remote control registered or without working radio connection, the instantaneous water heater heats to the prior selected set temperature.
  • After replacing the batteries, a new registration is not required.
  • After a power failure of the instantaneous water heater, a new registration is not required.
  • Automatic re-registration after a battery change or power failure can take up to two minutes.
  • If the remote control connects to another instantaneous water heater within radio range during initial registration, disconnect it from the power supply. Then start a re-registration (see chapter 7).

Re-registration

To connect the remote control to another instantaneous water heater, press and hold all four buttons on the remote control for at least 5 seconds. This starts the initial operation mode.

Handling

The remote control is equipped with the following functions:

  1. Arrow buttons
    You can set the required temperature gradually to a lower or higher value using the arrow two buttons up and down .
    Note : If the temperature display is set to “–” with arrow button down , the instantaneous water heater switches off the heating function.

  2. Programme buttons
    The two programme buttons 1 and 2 allow to quickly select the preset temperature without the need to press the up and down buttons several times.

The factory setting for programme is 35 °C and for programme it is 48 °C. You can assign your own settings for the programme buttons:

  • Select the desired temperature with and .
  • To save the current temperature, press the programme button or for about two seconds.

Displayed information

The representation corresponds to the temperature indication of the water heater display (if available) 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
    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 FX 3 screen.

  • 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 by the appliance and the sun symbol is displayed on FX 3 screen.

 Communication of the remote control

  • The remote control contacts the instantaneous water heater in regular intervals. In case of a temperature change at the instantaneous water heater or water tapping without a previous key press on the remote control, the updated information on the display of the remote control may be shown with a slight delay.
  • Without working radio connection, the appliance heats to the prior selected set value.
