Installation

The controller must be wall mounted.
Choosing a position in a room
When installing CRXSL, a suitable position in the room should be chosen. Ideal installation height is 1.2m – 1.6m. Avoid areas with draught or direct sun. Do not position CRXSL above or close to the heaters or other heat sources. Damp areas or areas where
CRXSL can be mechanically damaged should also be avoided. As the CRXSL is measuring room temperature it has to be installed in the same room as heaters.

Mounting the controller
The CRXSL was designed to fit any standard 2 gang back box with a minimum depth of 32mm. Use the supplied screws to secure controller on the back box. Avoid overtightening.

Electrical Connections

**** Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority ByeLaws.
The CRXSL must be permanently connected to the electricity supply via a double pole switch having 3mm gap on each pole.
There are no exceptions.
A switched Fused Connection unit to BS.1363. Part 4 is a recommended mains supply connection accessory to ensure compliance with safety requirements applicable to fixed-wiring installation.

Heating Not Working

• Check that the power is available to the CRXSL and heater.

• Check the LCD display isn’t blank and there is a green light on the heater.

• Is CRXSL paired with the heater?

• Check that the overheating protection on the heater has not op- erated. Follow the instructions given under the section headed ‘Overheating protection’ .

• Check that the fuse in the fused connection unit has not blown.
  This fuse can be replaced.

• Should none of the above remedies work, then please telephone the helpline number shown in these instructions. Do not attempt to repair the heating.

Basic Operation
The CRXSL has 5 standard operating modes:
BOOST, MANUAL, FROST PROTECT, AUTO and FAN.
Each mode can be selected by short pressing the MENU button to cycle through the options. The cycle sequence will always start with BOOST mode followed by MANUAL, FAN, FROST PROTECTION and AUTO.
The FAN mode is only available if there is no demand for heating. If the CRXSL shows heating symbol the FAN mode isn’t available. FAN mode only works with compatible heaters.
The CRXSL also has a STANDBY MODE. To enter/exit this mode, press the standby button. In STANDBY MODE, the heating will not be activated and the display will show time and day.
To adjust temperature in any heating mode use ‘PLUS’ or ‘MINUS’ buttons.
The CRXSL has a battery backup which will keep the correct time and allows for the change of hour associated with British Summer Time. The CRXSL will also remember all time schedules and settings even if the power is interrupted.

Boost Mode
The boost feature increases the room temperature for 15 minutes.
To amend the set temperature when in BOOST mode, use the + and – buttons to change the temperature. Once the temperature is set, you can leave the display to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved. After 15 minutes, the CRXSL will return to the previous operating mode.

Manual Temperature Mode
In MANUAL mode, the heater maintains a chosen set temperature between 15°C and 35°C. To amend the set temperature when in MANUAL mode, use the + and – buttons . Once the temperature is set, you can leave the display to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved. When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the heating will be deactivated.

Frost Protection Mode
In FROST PROTECT mode, the heater maintains a chosen set temperature between 4°C and 15°C. To amend the set temperature when in FROST PROTECT mode, use the + and – buttons.
Once the temperature is set, you can leave the dis-play to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved.

Auto Control Mode
In this mode, the heater will follow the week’s time / temperature program.
The temperature can be temporarily overridden in AUTO mode by using the + and – buttons to set the new temperature. The new set temperature will be then maintained until the next program step. Fan Mode
The FAN mode is only available if there is no demand for heating. If the CRXSL shows heating symbol the FAN mode isn’t available. FAN mode only works with compatible heaters.

Heat Symbols
Every time there is a demand for heat, the display will show the heat icon. The symbols shown below are used to represent full heat and half heat. The half heat only works with ‘RX’ heaters. The CRXSL will set heating to half heat automatically when the room is almost at the required temperature. This will stop temperature overshooting. Keys Locking
Press and hold the + and – buttons to- gether for 5 seconds. The display will show the symbol. Repeat the step to unlock.

Open Window Detection
Ensuring you don’t waste energy by heating the outside world, the heater is equipped with optional open / closed window detection. The heater recognises sudden drops in temperature when a window or a door is opened and turns the heating off.

When the window is closed, the heater will automatically detect a temperature rise, and switch itself back on. Once enabled in the setup menu, the open window detection is fully automatic and does not require any human intervention to be activated. When open window detection has been triggered, the heat symbol will flash on/off as shown below. The system has been factory set to default time and temperature values. If necessary, all values can be adjusted. When the heating is on, open window detection sensor will automatically switch the heater off when it detects a fall in temperature of 2°C in less than 10 minutes (the temperature can be changed in menu 8 and time in menu 7). If a temperature rise of 2° C in less than 30 seconds is detected, the heater will switch itself back on (the temperature can be changed in menu A and time in menu 9).

Setting The Time and Day
The CRXSL will come set with the correct time and day. It has an internal battery back up that can remember the settings. It will automatically change the clock to adjust the British summer time.

Local temperature control mode

Local temperature control mode is only compatible with certain heaters.
Unlike normal temperature control mode, the temperature measured on the controller does not affect the heater output. Instead, the CRXSL simply sends the target temperature to the heater.
The heater uses this as the set temperature. It uses a local temperature sensor to measure the room temperature at the heater location itself. When the local temperature reaches the set temperature, the heater will switch off.
Refer to section ‘set-up menu’ for information on how to access local temperature control mode.

Manual control mode

Manual control mode allows the heat and fan settings to be selected manually regardless of the room temperature.
To operate manual control mode, ac-tivate the display and press the MENU/MODE button. The fan speed can now be set using the + and – buttons. Press the MENU/MODE button again. The heat setting can now be set using the + and – buttons.
Manual control mode has 3 fan speeds and 3 heat settings available.
Not all products have multiple fan and heat settings. Please refer to the heater’s user manual to check how many heat/fan settings it has available.
Refer to section ‘set-up menu’ for information on how to access manual control mode.
