Dimplex panel convectors are designed and tested for safe
and trouble-free operation. Free airow throughout the panel
convector is very important for the most efcient operation
of the panel convector. All Dimplex panel convectors are
protected against overheating by a built-in thermal cutout.
A thermal cutout will switch off the heater if for any reason
it overheats. Should the cutout operate, disconnect heater
from power supply and determine the reason for overheating.
Resolve the reason for overheating before attempting to use
the heater again. To reset the heater it is necessary to switch
off the power to the heater for several minutes.
The PPC features CONNEXTM, a wireless technology that
works with Dimplex single and multi-zone CONNEXTM
controllers to provide simple whole home connectivity and
comfort. CONNEXTM controllers are available to control one
or multiple CONNEXTM heaters within a 50 ft. (15 m) radius.
When power is rst supplied to the PPC the Setpoint
Temperature will ash in the temperature display area. At
any time either the + or � button can be pressed to have the
temperature setpoint displayed again.
A. Setting/Temperature Display
