Product Overview

The CONNEX™ Wi-Fi Controller is a Dimplex exclusive, allowing the user to operate the CONNEXTM Multi-zone controller and synchronized CONNEXTM enabled heaters wirelessly from any remote location.

CONNEX™ wireless technology provides the user the ability to control four individual heat zones and one Wi-Fi-enabled controller for precise temperature management throughout the home. The easy-to-use touch screen allows for 7-day/ 4-event programming that combines with zone heating for incredible energy savings.

Zones

The controller is setup so that the user can divide their house into up to 4 different heating zones. These can be separate heaters or a selection of one or more heaters that will all be set to run at the same time and temperature settings.

By dividing the house into zones you can program the controller to raise the temperature in particular rooms during the time you normally use them and reduce the temperature when they are not in use.

By having a wireless controller, the components within a zone do not have to be located in the same area of the house, as with traditional heating systems. The components in any particular zone can be spread all through the house.

For example:

• Zone 1 - All of the bedrooms,

• Zone 2 - All of the bathrooms,

• Zone 3 - Kitchen and living room.

NOTE: Zones can be setup as any combination of the Dimplex CONNEXTM enabled controlled heaters as long as there is one heater that is within 15m (50ft) of the controller and the subsequent heaters are within 15m (50ft) of the controller or any other heater.

Events

The controller has been designed to divide each day into 4 different time settings for each day– Wake, Away, Home and Sleep.

• Wake – Initial increase of heat to desired temperature use.

• Away – A decreased temperature set point while the area is not in use.

Page 6

6 www.dimplex.com

• Home – An increased temperature set point for normal usage.

• Sleep – Reduce temperature set point while you are sleeping.

NOTE: When programming times for temperature events to take place, ahead of time, giving the temperature time to increase, i.e. your kitchen takes 17 minutes to increase in temperature from 18°C to 21°C, set the Home Event to occur 17 minutes before you arrive home.

As a default, values have been programmed for the Wake and Sleep times and temperatures for all 4 zones, for all 7 days.

Wake: 21.0°C (70.0°F), 6:00AM Sleep: 18.0°C (64.0°F), 11:00PM

NOTE: There are no initial settings for Home and Away events.

To change these values there is a program function which will guide you through the adjustment/setup of these values for a single day or group of days, or multiple zones.

NOTE: You do not need to have settings for all events. An event can be skipped by entering

--:-- for the time entry. (Increase

Heater Synchronization

The controller features CONNEXTM, a wireless technology that works with Dimplex CONNEX

enabled heaters to provide simple whole home connectivity and comfort. CONNEX

controllers are available to control one or multiple heaters within a 50’ (15 m) radius. In order for the controller to have this function the CONNEX

enabled heater and the controller will need to be synchronized.

NOTE: For ease of setup, it is suggested that the controller be taken to each heater to complete the synchronization process. The controller is equipped with a small battery that will allow the unit to be unplugged from the wall, for up to 3 hours, to be able to move to each heater for synchronization. Synchronization can be completed after the battery has died, by moving the controller to each heater and plugging it into a nearby receptacle.

CAUTION: Always press the

icons with a blunt object. Sharp objects like pen and pencil points may damage the touch screen.

1. Press the icon to put the controller into synchronization mode.

2. All four (4) zone icons will

begin to ash.

3. Select the zone that the spe-

cic heater will be associated

with. That icon will become solid.

4. On the heater press and hold the V button for 3 seconds,

both the and icons will

begin to ash.

5. Press the – , ✚ and then V, on the heater.

6. Within 10 seconds press the

icon on the controller.

NOTE: When the synchronization is complete the display on the heater will switch to the new settings from the controller.

7. Repeat steps 3-5 until all of

the heaters are synchronized.

8. Press the icon to revert

back to operation mode.

NOTE: When the controller is running on battery power, Wi-Fi function is disabled.

Maintenance

Surface Cleaning

Use a cloth dampened with warm water only to clean the housing and glass display of the wall setter. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

If the display needs to be cleaned, putting the unit in the lock function will allow you to remove any fingerprints or dirt without changing any settings.

Battery Replacement (Figure 6)

The Multi-zone programmable CONNEXTM Controller contains a CR2032 (3V) battery. The intention of the battery is to allow heater synchronization to be carried out more conveniently. Replacement of the battery will only be required if additional synchronization needs to take place and a convenience receptical is not in the vacinity of the heater.

To replace the battery:

1. Remove stand from unit or remove the unit from the wall.

2. Access the battery by removing the 6 screws that attach the back cover to the unit.

3. Replace the battery.

NOTE: Ensure that the battery is installed under the bottom battery prongs.

4. Reassemble and remount the remote control.

NOTE: Multi-zone programmable CONNEXTM Controller will retain all settings while battery is removed and will revert to those settings when power is restored.

Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.

Check with your Local Authority or Retailer for recycling advice in your area.
