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.

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
