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.

4. Press ▼ or ▲ buttons to choose the desired setting.

Your unit will now operate in manual mode.

IDENTIFY YOUR COMFORT CONTROL MODEL

Use these pictures to identify which model you have.

ALL MOUNTED

This model is mounted permanently in the cradle on your wall. No batteries are required. Power is supplied via the same cable that takes the controller's signals to your heating and / or cooling appliances.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE

To reduce the risk of possible R

interference, do not locate your R

control near any electrica

equipment e.g. TV’s computers, fridges, telecommunicat ions and HI FI equipment or close to meta

objects or window frames. Other RF devices within your home

can also cause interference such wireless door bells, gate or doo

openers, or perhaps b aby monitors & intercoms. Such interfer ence can impede the operation of you

appliance. Ensure the RF control unit is no

exposed to excessive heat, humidity, moisture or dampness.

Ducted Gas Heating

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.

Multi-Appliance Comfort Control

PNE Comfort Control - 2004 Page 15

Ducted Gas Heating

• When the temperature has gone past the set temperature by

approximately a ½º the central heater will shut down.

• When the temperature has dropped approximately 1º below

set temperature the unit will restart.

• As your activities vary, you may find you need different

temperature settings, e.g. a temperature comfortable for sitting is usually too warm compared to when your moving about.

• For economical operation, set a low SET TEMP during the

day when you are active, or use ECONOMY. Switch the Comfort Control OFF when asleep and ON again when awake. These cost saving functions can be programmed to operate automatically (see Programmed Control).

8. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the heater OFF. OFF will

appear on the display.

9. The Comfort Control remembers your SET TEMP setting and

uses it next time you turn it ON.

ECONOMY & BOOST FOR HEATING

ECONOMY operates the heater at the lowest fan speed and a lowest possible gas rate continuously.

Note:- Continual use of economy may not heat the environment effectively.

BOOST operates at the highest fan speed and a highest possible gas rate continuously.

1. To select ECONOMY or BOOST switch the Controller ON and

select HEAT and MANUAL.

2. Now press ECONOMY/BOOST. The display will first show

ECONOMY. Press again and BOOST is shown. Save your selection by pressing ENTER.

3. Set Temperature to the desired level.

SUMMER FAN

With Gas Ducted Central Heating the control default is to run a Dual Cycle Add-on Cooling system if installed. If there is no Add-on Cooling you can use the fan only to circulate the air. To operate:

1. Press ON/OFF to switch the controller ON.

2. Press the HEAT/COOL/FRESH AIR button until COOL appears

by it’s self in the mode selection line of the LCD. The room air fan will now run.
