Introduction

Introduction

This instruction manual describes the commercial fan heater range from Consort. These heaters are robustly designed for use as space heating in large areas. With a maximum heat throw of up to 11m depending on the room temperature and selected fan speed, they are ideal for areas such as garages, workshops and warehouses.
Each heater is equipped with an intelligent fan control, which allows the heater to adapt to the environment by automatically adjusting the fan speed. The heater provides instant directional warmth, and also has a fan-only setting for air circulation.
The heaters are wall mounted with multidirectional brackets.
Heaters are available in 6kW, 9kW and 12kW rating. There are two versions of the 6kW heaters available, single and 3 phase. The heaters can be controlled by either CRXSL wireless controller or CHMC colour touch screen master controller. For larger areas, up to 8 air curtains can be easily interconnected using CAT5/CAT6 RJ45 networking cable when used together with CHMC controller. The heaters can be also controlled by BMS using MODBUS control system.
It is recommended that this control cable is run separately within its own trunking to avoid external interference.
Up to two environmental sensors CHES can be connected to the heaters when used together with CHMC controller.
Environmental sensors offer 3 functions; remote temperature measuring, microwave occupancy sensor and remote or boost switch connection. All functions are fully programmable and can be associated with any heaters in the system.
The controllers aren’t supplied with the heaters and have to be purchased separately.

| WARNING :
THIS HEATER SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED WHERE THERE IS A CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERE OR EXCESSIVE DUST.
---|---

CRXSL wireless controller

The CRXSL wireless controller (not supplied with the heater) can control any number of CH heaters within its range. It has a large easy-toread backlit LCD display and offers up to six temperature settings a day, seven days a week. The CRXSL can also provide three levels of heat and 3 fan speeds in manual control mode. Follow CRXSL user guide for more details.

CHMC Controller

The CHMC colour touch screen controller (not supplied with the heater) giving options for 8 fan and 8 heat settings together with accurate temperature control, can be mounted up to 50m from the heaters.

The electronic touch screen controller (shown on the picture above) allows the user to control either a single heater, or a network of up to 8 heaters with individual settings. It is compatible with Consort Connect app allowing for remote control and monitoring of the heating.

The controller is designed to be mounted on a surface double gang back box, and is powered by an RJ45 connection. The controller will not fit metal or dry lining back box.

The total cable length of the system can be up to 50 metres.

Up to two environmental sensors CHES can be connected to the heaters.

Controllers

Intelligent Fan Control

Automatic speed control

The intelligent fan control incorporates one of the latest low energy consumption EC motors. This allows the heater to operate quietly, whilst still providing the best possible levels of comfort.

The intelligent fan control is only activated when the heat is switched on. If the heater is running in fan/boost mode only (heat switched off), then the fan will operate at a fixed speed.

When activated, the intelligent fan control detects the temperature of the room and, depending on which heat mode is activated, it will calculate the best possible airflow and adjusts the fan speed accordingly.

In order to maintain a constant airflow temperature, the fan runs at a lower speed when the ambient temperature is low and will speed up as the room is getting warmer. This will result in reduced throw at low room temperatures.

NOTE: When turning the heater on, or changing heat mode or fan speed mode, the fan will respond accordingly after a short time delay.

Selecting heater controls

CRXSL Controller

The heater has to be configured for a selected control method at the time of installation. Only 1 control method can be used at the same time. To control heater using the CRXSL controller the DIP switch 1 located under the electrical connections cover has to be set to ` 1 ‘ as on the picture below.

Pairing to the CRXSL Controller

This must be done, otherwise the heaters will not work.

Power up the CRXSL wireless controller (see user instructions for CRXSL for details).
Set heater into pairing mode as follows:

Locate the status light.
Turn power to the heater on. The light should be green. Now, the heater is ready for pairing for the next 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, it will return to normal operating mode and pairing will not be possible. (Heater must be powered off, and then back on again in this case)

To pair heater with CRXSL, Press and hold Ⓟ  and Ⓜ buttons together until display shows CRXSL identification code.
Press the Ⓟ  button. This must be done within 20 seconds from powering up the heater. The screen on the controller should flash.
If the pairing was successful, the light will show purple for 5 seconds, and the heater will to start. If the CRXSL is signalling the heat output to be on, it will begin outputting heat, if the CRXSL is signalling the heat output to be off, the heater will switch off after 5 seconds.

Operation of CRXSL

The CRXSL controller will come factory set in temperature control mode. This can be changed to manual operation mode which simulates a 4-switch box. In this mode, the temperature control is disabled and the controller doesn’t have to be installed in the same location as the heaters, however they must still be within the wireless range.
To switch to manual mode, press and hold the Ⓜ & icons for 5 seconds to access the setup menu. Use Ⓜ icon to navigate through the menu. Navigate to option 6, and change the value to 2, this will change your controller to manual/timer mode.

The fan speed F0, F1, F2 or F3 is displayed on the left side of the display. Press to cycle through the fan settings.
The heat setting H0, H1, H2 or H3 is displayed on the right side of the display. Press UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the heat setting.

In Manual Control Mode, many of the functions of the CRXSL are very similar to automatic mode, except that the fan and heat settings are adjusted instead of the set temperature:

Selecting heater controls

CHMC Controller

The heater has to be configured for a selected control method at the time of installation. To control the heater using a CHMC controller the DIP switch 1 located under the electrical connections cover has to be set to `0′ as on the picture.

Connecting heaters to the CHMC

The CHMC is connected to the heater by CAT5/CAT6 RJ45 cable. The RJ45 connector is located under the terminals cover on the bottom of the heater. There are 2 equal RJ45 connectors in each heater. The controller can be connected to any one. The second connector is used If there are additional heaters in the system for a daisy chain connection. Controller is powered via the RJ45 connector. Each heater in the system must be set to unique ID. This is selectable by DIP switches 2,3 and 4.

Installation Details

It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that the points of attachment to the building are sound. Consultation with the consultant/architect or owner of the building is recommended to ensure that a sound, mechanically stable installation is achieved.
Before fitting or wiring the heater, ensure that the casing faces as shown in figures 1&2, and follow these installation guidance notes.

The wall bracket is secured to one of the inner cardboard box corners. Cut the plastic bag to remove it. All fixing screws are attached to the side of the inner cardboard box.
The heater must always be installed horizontally, using the mounting bracket provided. This ensures correct positioning and adequate clearance.
Assemble the swivel bracket as shown on Fig.3. Use M8 and M5 bolts with locknuts and washers as supplied in bag. Attach the assembled bracket to the bottom of the heater by using 4 x M6 bolts with plain and spring washers as shown on Fig.3.
Secure the wall bracket to the wall with suitable fixings. Ensure the position of this bracket will allow suitable clearances between the heater, when fitted, and adjacent walls. Minimum of 3 fixings must be used to secure the wall bracket to the wall. Attach the heater to the wall bracket.
Finally, adjust the direction of the heater to the desired area and tighten up all clamping nuts and bolts.
Care should be taken when choosing a position, ideally there should be a clear line of sight between the heater and controller. If the signal has to travel around corners, walls or any metal objects it will decrease the range.
Ensure that the heater is fixed to a secure wall, within the mounting height limits stated in `clearance distances’. Mount the heater as shown in figures 1 and 2.
The angle of the heater can be adjusted in steps, 22.5 deg. vertically and 180 deg. horizontally.

Fault detection / indication

Fault detection

Heaters are equipped with electronic fault detection. In the event of a fault being detected, heater will show the nature of the fault by flashing status LED located at the front of the heater. The LED will flash one of the sequences as shown in the table below. The sequence is repeated every 5 seconds.

Number of flashes

|

Fault

---|---
1| Overheating detected

Response: Power reduced until heater cools down

2| Temperature measurement fault

Response: Intelligent speed con- trol disabled, fan speed increased

3| Power not detected when heat switched ON

Response: Fan operates as nor- mal

Possible causes: missing phase, blown fuse, faulty electronics

4| Problem with motor

Response: Heater will not work

5| Power detected when not switched ON

Response: Fan runs continuously

6| Internal communication error

Response: Heater will not work

Status indication – main PCB

There are 2 LEDs on the RJ45 connectors indicating that the power is available. If the heater is in stand-by mode, the green LED is ON. If the heater is switched ON the orange LED is indicating that the auxiliary power is available for the electronic.

Status indication – secondary PCB

For fault diagnostic being carried out by a competent person there is an additional fault indication on the secondary PCB.
A green LED on the secondary PCBs shows that there is power available. The red LED will flash one of the sequences as shown in the table below. The sequence is repeated every 5 seconds.

Number of flashes

Fault

---|---
1| Power measurement when triacs switched off:

Response: Auto run motor

2| Motor fault

Response: Disable heating

3| Triac heatsink overheat: Response: Reduce heating
4| Low power measurement when triacs switched on:

Causes: Thermal cut-out operat- ed, blown fuse, missing phase

Over heat protection reset

The heater is equipped with electronic over heat protection and also resettable over temperature cut-outs. There are two cutouts located on the top of the heating element. In the unlikely event of electronic failure, the mechanical cut-outs will switch off power to the heating element. In order to reset cut-outs, isolate the heater from power and leave heater to cool down.
The cause of cut-outs operating should be investigated before resetting as the only time the mechanical cut-out operates is when electronics can’t protect heater from overheating.

BMS Connection MODBUS Protocol

BMS Connection

There are 2 ways for connecting heaters to BMS.

1. Using CHES and external switch as a simple BMS on/off connection
2. Using MODBUS protocol.

The heater is compatible with BMS systems using MODBUS protocol. The connection to BMS system can be made using one of the RJ45 connectors.

Only one means of control can be used at any time. If BMS is used to control the heater, the colour screen controller must not be used.

The BMS can control fan speed and heat output and also read and report the heater status.

Speed can be set in the range of 600 1700RPM in 1RPM steps. If the speed is set below 600RMP, the heating element is automatically disabled. Care has to be taken when selecting speed. The fan speed should be always correct for the selected heat output. If the speed is too low, the heater can overheat.
Heat output can be set in the range of 0 – 100% in 1% steps.

MODBUS Protocol

The DIP switch 1 must be set to ON position for BMS control.
The DIP switches 2, 3 and 4 are used to configure each air curtain with a unique address.

| RJ45 cable can be used to network up to 8 heaters in a daisy-chain configuration.
