NOTE:

When activated the temperature set-point which has been set during the mode

mode operation by using the arrow keys.

Setback Settings

Setback is a function that only modies Timer Mode operation. When Setback is enabled

it overrides any Heating O period to maintain a constant temperature during Heating

O periods.

This can be used to prevent the room temperature from falling below a minimum value
while there is no demand for heat (Heating On).

• Use the arrow keys to select the desired setback temperature. Press ENTER to
conrm and return to the home screen. Setback mode will be active

29

Adaptive Start

Adaptive Start is a predictive function that only modies Timer Mode operation. This

function models the heating characteristics of the room and uses that information to
pre-heat the room to ensure the target temperature has been reached by the start of
the Heating On period.

For example, with Adaptive Start o, the Heating On time is the time that the Heater
will begin to try and achieve the Target Temperature. With Adaptive Start On, the
Heater will begin to heat the room before the User-dened Heating On time so that
the Target Temperature is achieved when the User dened the Heating On start time.

To activate Adaptive Start:

• Hold ADV and MENU buttons for 2 seconds

• Use the arrow keys to highlight the adaptive start icon and conrm using the
ENTER key

• Use the arrow keys to toggle Adaptive Start ON or OFF

• Press ENTER to conrm your option and return to the home screen. If adaptive
start has been activated, the icon will be visible when in timer mode home screen.

NOTE:

This is a continuously learning
function and will be aected
daily by changes in the
heater’s environment. The
heater will take into account
the starting temperature
of the room so pre-heating
should remain accurate.

NOTE:

It is important that if multiple heaters are installed in one room that all heaters have the
Adaptive Start (AS) function enabled. If this is not the case, heaters with AS enabled will
pre-heat the room to the desired target temperature before the heaters with AS disabled
attempt to output heat.

It is likely that if multiple heaters are required in one room, that the output from one heater
may not be sucient to heat the room alone. This may cause the pre-heat time calculation
to extend to a large degree if the heaters do not all have AS enabled. This may lead to heat
at unwanted times and excessive wear to some heaters.

30

A two-hour limit is enforced on the calculation, however, if all heaters have AS enabled
and pre-heating takes over one-hour, extreme environmental factors may be aecting the
calculation or the heaters may be under sized for the room. Please contact us for support if
your pre-heat time seems excessive.

PIN Lock

This locking method utilises a PIN code that is set by the User. When activated, the
appliance is locked in the previously active mode and user will be restricted to basic

functions. In order to change the mode or settings the PIN code must be re entered.

It is important that all required parameters such as time proles and/or temperatures
are set and the desired mode is activated before applying the PIN lock.
