INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This heater is designed to be mounted on the wall (screws not included) These units are suitable for heating enclosed indoor rooms such as bedrooms, studies, offices, living areas and bathrooms.

Installation Location
This heater was designed to be installed in a residence.

If the wall covering is laid on foam, a spacer the same thickness as the foam must be placed under the panel heater’s support. This ensures there is free space behind the panel heater to make sure its control settings are not adversely affected. The heater must not be installed immediately below a wall socket. The heater must be connected to a socket outlet or permanent terminal box at least 10cm to one side of the heater.

Mounting the Heater on a Wall
(Mounting bracket included; screws not included)
The wall mounting bracket is oriented centrally (See diagram).

1. Loosen the locking plate screw and rotate the locking plate out of the fixing slot (See image at right). Then remove the mounting bracket from the heater.
2. Use the wall-mounting bracket as a template for marking the fixing holes. Position the mounting bracket in the correct position on the wall and mark the screw holes through the 4 mounting holes.
3. Install the 4 fixing devices in the wall, ensuring they are more than adequate to safely fix the heater to the wall.
4. Fix the bracket firmly to the wall using all 4 mounting locations.
5. Mount the heater on the bracket so the bracket protrusions fix into the 4 slots on the back of the heater. Rotate the locking plate into the fixing slot and tighten the screw.

To remove the heater, reverse the above operation.

Time Programming a Full 24 hour Day
Note : Around the digital clock display, the black rectangles indicate “ON” times/zones, and the clear spaces are “OFF” zones.

The up   button is used for setting the “ON” zone, and the down   button is used for setting the “OFF” zone.

The timer will start at 00:00, and each push of the   or   button will:

1. advance the clock by one hour, and
2. set the desired “ON” or “OFF” timer for that hour.

You must program the full 24-hour ON / OFF period (until the time reaches 00:00) for the timer to function correctly. Finally, press the program button to complete the setting for the day.

For example, if you would like to make the unit work from 1:00 to 4:00, 11:00-13:00, and 17:00 to 23:00:

1. Step 1: Press the button . The time will change from 00:00 to 1:00, and the zone between 24:00 to 1:00 will be clear (OFF).
2. Step 2: Press the button three times until the time advances to 4:00, and the zone between 1:00 and 4:00 will be black (ON).
3. Step 3: Press the button seven times until the time advances to 11:00, and the zone between 4:00 to 11:00 will be clear (OFF).
4. Step 4: Press the button twice until the time advances to 13:00, and the zone between 11:00 to 13.00 will be black (ON).
5. Step 5 : Press the button four times until the time advances to 17:00, and the zone between 13:00 to 17:00 will be clear (OFF).
6. Step 6: Press the button six times until the time advances to 23:00, and the zone between 17:00 to 23:00 will be black (ON).
7. Step 7: Press the button once, the time advances to 00:00, and the zone between 23:00 to 24:00 will be clear (OFF).
8. Step 8: Press the program button to complete the setting for the day. The control panel will now show the current day. The program is now active and is running on ‘real time’.

Note : You must program the full 24 hour ON / OFF period (until the time reaches 00:00) for the timer to function correctly. If you go past the 00:00 (and move to 01:00) you will need to program the 24 hour program for that day again.

Copy the 24-hour program
If you would like the same 24-hour program to work for another day or days in the week, the program can be copied onto the selected day.

For example, you have just created a 24 hour program for Monday, and you wish to copy this Monday program to Tuesday:

1. Step 1: Press the program button and then press the button to move the “[ ]” to M (Monday).
2. Step 2: Press the copy button . The symbol “COPY” will appear on the LCD screen. The “[ ]” around the M will flash. (If you would like to cancel the COPY order, please press the button again, the symbol “COPY” will disappear accordingly.)
3. Step 3: Press the timer button to move the “[ ]” around T (Tuesday). The “[ ]” around the M will flash, and the “[ ]” around the T will not flash.
4. Step 4: Press the copy button to complete the operation. The “COPY” and [M] symbol will disappear.

To copy this same Monday program to another day, repeat from Step 3.
Press the Program button to terminate the “COPY” function. The control panel will now show the correct day. The program is now active and is running on ‘real time’.

Adjust the Temperature of a Running Program
The temperature sensed by the thermostat sensor is relative to the position of the heater in the room. If the actual temperature is higher than the setting, compensate for this by adjusting the temperature setting. For example, if the desired temperature is set at 21°C but the actual room temperature is 18°C, compensate for this by increasing the setting to 24°C. Similarly, reduce the temperature setting if the actual room temperature is higher than the setting. Press the temperature button . The temperature symbol will flash. Use the up or down button to adjust the comfort temperature. Finally, press the temperature button again. The control panel will now show the current day. The program is now active and is running on ‘real time’.

Changing time for Daylight Savings
Press the timer button   twice to make the hour display flash. In Summertime, press the up button to advance the timer clock one hour. In wintertime, press the down button to set the timer clock back one hour. Terminate the operation by again pressing the timer button twice so that the current program is displayed on the panel.

Program Back-Up
In the event of a mains power failure or long period when the heater has been turned off, the timer and SS program must be reset by the user. All other pre- set programs and default temperatures will be saved.

Locking the Control Panel
Press the program button and the timer button at the same time for around three (3) seconds. A padlock symbol is displayed on the screen, indicating that all buttons are now locked. To unlock the control panel, Press the program button and the timer button at the same time for around three (3) seconds, and the padlock symbol will disappear.
