NAVIGATING THE CONTROLS
QUICK START
First - the 15 second delay
To give you time to choose your settings the
Comfort Control pauses 15 seconds then
sends its signal to your Heater/Cooler. So
don't worry if something doesn't happen
immediately.
Watch for the transmit symbol at the top
of the screen. This means that the signal has
been sent.
If you don't want to wait, pressing and
releasing the ENTER button sends your
settings immediately. (You don't need to do
this when using ON/OFF.)
Second - What you'll see is what you've got
Your Comfort Controller is designed to
automatically detect the appliances you have
installed. Controller options not required for
your appliances will usually not be visible on
your Comfort Control display. So don't worry if
you don't see all the menu items listed in this
book.
QUICK START - SIMPLE MANUAL OPERATION
Here's all you have to do to get going (if the
installer hasn't already done it for you).
1. If you have a Radio Frequency comfort control make sure the 3 new AAA alkaline batteries have
been fitted (see page 6). The wall mounted comfort control gets its power from a cable.
2. Press and release the ON/OFF button until ON appears at the bottom of the display screen.
3. Press & release the HEAT/COOL/FRESH AIR button (inside the flip open door) to select the
appliance. The choices available will be dependant on the appliances you have installed. Press
MANUAL/AUTO to select MANUAL.

your heating and / or cooling appliances.
H
AND HELD RF
This model is hand held and will operate your appliances
from most areas of your home – See IMPORTANT
NOTE for exceptions.
It is powered by 3 AAA batteries. The controller uses
radio signals to control your appliance.
To reduce the risk of possible RF
interference, do not locate your RF
control near any electrical
equipment e.g. TV’s computers,
fridges, telecommunications and HI
FI equipment or close to metal
objects or window frames.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Other RF devices within your home
can also cause interference such
wireless door bells, gate or door
openers, or perhaps baby monitors
& intercoms. Such interference can
impede the operation of your
appliance.

USING YOUR COMFORT CONTROL
There is 2 ways to operate your Comfort Control. You can use MANUAL and select the operation modes
or you can use the AUTO and program the operation modes to happen automatically.
MANUAL OPERATION
1. Turn the comfort control on, press and release the ON/OFF
button. If there is only a central heater fitted the control will default
to Heat Cool.
NOTE: Your Comfort Controller is designed to automatically
detect the appliances you have installed, once coded. Controller
options not required for your appliances will usually not be visible
on your Comfort Control display. So don't worry if you don't see all
the menu items listed in this book.
2. Press the MANUAL/AUTO button until Manual is displayed.
3. Press the HEAT/COOL/FRESH AIR button until Heat appears at
the top of the display.
4. Press & hold the ▼ or ▲ buttons to decrease or increase SET
TEMP or, press & release buttons to change the SET TEMP one
degree at a time.
5. The Comfort Control measures the room temperature using a
thermostat inside its case. When the room temperature is colder
than the SET TEMP the Heater will come on after a 30 seconds
ignition process.
6. The Comfort Control will run both the modulating and non
modulating heaters until it measures temperature a little above
your SET TEMP. The thermostat will then turn off the heater until
the temperature falls a little below set temperature before
restarting.
7. For modulating heaters, the operation of the heater is as follows:
• If at start up the room temperature is more than 2.0° below
the set temperature, the central heater will start up at high
fan speed and high gas rate quickly bringing your house up
to temperature.
• As the room temperature gets closer to the set temperature
the central heater will reduce the room air fan and the gas
rate to the burner.
• When the thermostat reaches the set temperature the central
heater will be on low fan and the gas will modulate to low
fire.
