Installation

Main Principles

This appliance must be connected to a 230V 50Hz power supply. This appliance must be connected to a switched fused spur or a plug. Main installation must be provided by an omnipolar device where the distance between contacts must be a minimum of 3mm.

• Power Cord Wires = Neutral (Grey or Blue)
• Live (Brown)
• Pilot-Wire (Black)

NOTE: This product is double insulated and does not require an earth cable. Pilot wire is only required if using with an optional central pilot wire controller. IF PILOT WIRE IS NOT REQUIRED INSULATE BLACK CABLE TO ENSURE IT DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER WIRES OR TERMINALS. The replacement of the power cable, if necessary, should be completed by a qualified electrician authorised by the importer.

Precautions to be Taken

• The radiator must be placed far from any inflammable material and should not be used by unsupervised children.
• The radiator should never be covered by clothes, other materials or objects. It should never be placed in enclosed spaces or areas which might prevent the free circulation of air around the radiator.

Important Safety Information

Whilst in operation, the appliance must not be covered to avoid over-heating. If the appliance is covered and the safety over-heat switch is activated, the element will need replacing. This is not covered by the warranty. This appliance is a Class 2 double insulated appliance and should not be used or connected in the protected area of the bathroom or kitchen. The appliance should be placed at a distance that makes it impossible for a person taking a bath or shower to touch the switches and thermostat unit. Do not place the radiator under a power socket. Should the appliance have to be repaired in the first instance please contact the supplier of the radiator. The minimum distance needed to allow air circulation is 150mm. This unit contains a precise amount of synthetic heating fluid inside the fins which must only be opened by the manufacturer. The standard rules about recycling and removal of synthetic heating fluid should be followed once the appliance is no longer in use. Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the applince in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.

CAUTION — Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

Directions for the Installer

Installation should only be completed by a qualified professional.

Electric Power The electrical circuits within your house should be of the correct type and size for the appliance wattage. We recommend that the fused spur outlet is placed 10cm to the right of the appliance and 15cm from the floor. The appliance is supplied with approximately 1.5m of power cable without a plug. The electrical circuit should be isolated by means of an omni- polar cutting system either by a switch or magnetothermic protecting device.

Main Components
The Richmond DPL body consists of special cast aluminium fins, specifically designed to ensure a maximum rate of heat diffusion, the air circulation channels providing a very effective convection effect. The aluminium body contains a special heat conducting fluid, filled inside the fins with a unique procedure assuring a bubble-free content for a total uniform and silent delivery of heat.

Fitting the Appliance
The appliance should be hung as close as possible to the coolest wall in the room, however it is not recommended to place it on a wall that is not properly insulated – if this is the case, the part of the wall behind the unit should be insulated. In a bathroom, the appliance must be placed within the protected zone and should not be reachable, directly or indirectly by a person in the shower or bath. The appliance should, by no means, be placed under a connecting plug. To hang the radiator, place the radiator on the floor in the position it is to be installed. Locate the bracket above the radiator with the point on the bracket being between the first and second element on both sides (figure 1.a). For radiators with more than 9 elements, the bracket should be placed between the second and third element (figure 1.b).

Mark the appropriate location and fix the brackets in place with the supplied plugs and screws, ensuring the brackets are installed in the correct position (figure 2).

Once the brackets have been installed the radiator can be hung from the supports (figure 3). To lock the radiators in place press on the ratchet and turn until a click is heard (figure 4).

Operation

The room temperature is controlled by the electronic thermostat in the control end located on the side of the appliance. The thermostat has a precision of ±0.3ºC.

Switching On

Once power has been supplied to the radiator it will initially be in the standby mode.

Functions Menu

Once power has been supplied to the radiator it will initially be in the standby mode

Setting Functions

1. In the Stand-by mode press and hold the time button for more than 3 seconds.
2. Press the + or – button to select Time or Function, press mode to chose Function.

Adaptive Start Control ASC (Eco-Start)
With this feature activated the radiator will learn what time it should switch on to achieve the required room temperature at a particular time. The heater will monitor the room temperature over 10 days to establish how quickly the room reaches temperature and uses this information to switch the heater on at the correct time. By reaching the required temperature at the set time and not before, energy use and running costs are reduced.

Open Window Detection
The “Open Window Detection” function enables detecting of an open window by sensing a sudden decrease of the temperature in the room. In such a case, the device deactivates the heating element for a maximum of 30 minutes, at which point the radiator will resume to operate in the previously set state. When this function is enabled, the “Open Window” icon is shown on the display. When the device detects that the window is potentially opened, the “Open Window” icon starts blinking.

The Remote Control (Optional)

General Description
The remote control communicates with the radiator using infra-red signal from a maximum distance of 10m from the appliance and requires 2x AAA batteries .

Setting the Time
