INSTALLATION Heater installation. 1. Following the removal of the two-part plastic cover of the head, screw the heater to the bathroom heater, using a suitable spanner (No. 22). A special conical gasket is fitted on the head, allowing the control box to be turned until it faces front. The conical gasket does not require tightening to the end. Usually, two turns are sufficient for the joint to be tight. After screwing the heater in, refit the two-part plastic cover over the head.. If the heater is fitted to a bathroom radiator connected to a central heating system, a heater tee should be used. Suggested installation dual fuel installation electric only - 2 -
Location In order to set the heating, the thermostat should perform the measurements of ambient temperature most representative for the room. As the detector used for temperature measurement is housed in the enclosure of the thermostat/programming unit, it should be located : - in the central part of the room, - the detector should be fastened to a wall, or placed on the shelf or easily accessible piece of furniture, at the height of ~ 1,50 m, - the detector should be kept away from sources of heat (chimney stack, strong sunlight) and away from draughts (window, door), NOTE: Each object obstructing the way between the programming unit and infrared reception unit housed in the heater enclosure disturbs the transmission. The best communication conditions are provided if the programming unit is located opposite the heater. ~ 1,50 m at least 25 cm - 4 -

Battery replacement When the sign appears warning that the battery life is coming to an end, the batteries should be replaced within three months (two LR03 or AAA alkaline batteries, 1.5 V). battery consumption rate symbol When replacing the batteries, follow the following precautions: - when inserting the batteries into the unit, observe the correct polarity +/-, - do not dispose of the flat batteries with household rubbish (to protect the environment, bring the worn batteries to the proper collection centre), - do not recharge, - the time for replacing batteries is equal to 45 seconds; after the expiry of this period, the hours are reset (in which case, the hour and date must be set again). Maintenance: Prior to cleaning the heater enclosure the IR heater MUST be disconnected from the elecrticity supply. The enclosures should be cleaned with a damp cloth, with the addition of gentle cleaning agents. NEVER permit the enclosures to get wet. - 18 -
Troubleshooting guide With any type of irregularities in the operation of the IR set (heater together with programming unit), we propose, prior to undertaking other measures, to perform the system reset. The heater is controlled by the microprocessor and this is why, in some exceptional circumstances, system reset may be required. To reset the system, it is sufficient to disconnect the heater plug from from mains for the period of one minute, following which the plug should be connected again. Subsequently, run the TEST function (see page 5) in order to check the quality of the communication between the heater and programming unit. When this is completed, enter for setting the required operation mode. If the malfunction to the set continues, check whether the fault is mentioned below and proceed in accordance with the guidelines provided. - 19 -
Potential problems with the IR heater: 1. The communication test cannot be made 2. The signalling lamp on the heater enclosure is on but the heater does not heat Check whether the programming unit is operated in the test mode (see page 5), test text is displayed on the display, and the hourglass icon flickers every three seconds in the upper part of the display. Where the infrared controlled units interoperate, it is essential that the transmitter (programming unit) and the reception unit (heater) are adequately aligned. If the problems occur during the communication test, we propose that the operating range be checked by placing the programming unit opposite the heater, at the maximum distance of 6 m. Under such conditions, and where both units (programming unit and heater) are operable, the result of the adequate test must be positive. Subsequently, select the proper place for positioning the programming unit to ensure the perfect communication (test function correctness). If, with the opposite positioning, the heater fails to indicate the reception, the fault is present which may be remedied only by the Manufacturer. The thermal fuse has been damaged (most frequently as a result of the absence of the sufficient water level in the bathroom radiator) or, in exceptional cases, the heating element has been damaged. Both cases require the repairs that can be made only by the Manufacturer - 20 -
3. The heater fails to provide response to the commands issued by the controller, the signalling lamp fails to be illuminated. 4. The signalling lamp on the heater enclosure flickers but the heater fails to heat 5. The position of the controller has changed and the heater fails to respond to the signals from the controller Check the communication by performing communication test again (see page 5) and then proceed in accordance with the guidelines in this manual. Check the indication of faults (see page 16). Where the absence of communication is indicated, check if: - the way between the programming unit and heater is not obstructed in any way. - the programming unit signals that the feeding battery lifetime is about to an end (see page 18) If the fault to the thermistor is signalled, the heater must be sent for a repair. Check the communication quality by performing the test function again (see page 5) - 21 -
