User Operating Instructions
The Electronic 7 Water Heater Controller has been especially developed to
control the immersion heater as economically and conveniently as possible.
During the night, water in the tank will be heated by cheap night-rate
electricity, ensuring a tank of hot water is available for the morning.
Depending on the size of the tank and usage of hot water, this will usually last
a day; however, if required, more hot water can be heated at any time by using
the ‘boost’ button which switches on the immersion heater for one hour.
Alternatively if it is known that extra hot water will be required every day, the
‘boost’ element (in the tank) can be programmed so that it will heat only a
small part of your tank. This is normally the upper element in the tank and can
be programmed to come on once each day at a set time.
Some tariffs offer additional cheaper electricity periods during the day time;
the Electronic 7 has extra off peak switching periods available to
accommodate this.

Programme Security Lock
If the 4 black squares are showing in the display then this indicates
that the automatic programme of switching times has been locked on
installation and cannot be altered by the user. This will ensure that the
programme stays matched to any preferential tariffs which should
mean that your water is heated as economically as possible. The
manual boost button will still be operative allowing one hour of extra
hot water each time the boost is operated.
