ChannelPlus H47XL
The ChannelPlus family of electronic programmers offer a range
of advanced features coupled with simplified 'menu driven'
programming all designed to help save energy.
The ChannelPlus H47XL series 2 is designed to give
independent time control over 4 channels of heating and hot
water on a 7 day weekly programme. Each channel offers up to 3
programmed On / Off operations per day for each day of the
week.
For day to day operation each channel has a manual 1 or 2 hour
boost button as well as an advance button to bring forward the
next programmed operation. The back lit display, automatic clock
and menu driven programming are all features designed to make
the operation of the ChannelPlus H47XL as simple as possible to
use.
All series 2 ChannelPlus programmers are direct replacements
for earlier ChannelPlus models.
