Basic control of an individual heater
When you open the Consort Connect app, select the
heater you would like to control. This will bring you to the
main page for controlling the heater. In this page, you
can change the operating mode and comfort tempera-
ture on this screen. The dial in the middle of the screen is
used to adjust the temperature. The icons on the top of
the screen are used to change the operating mode.
In the settings menu, select the title ‘basic’ to access the
basic menu. In this menu, you can view the wattage of
the heater, adjust the temperature correction and tog-
gle open window detection, the occupancy sensor and
self learning mode on/off. The occupancy sensor and
self learning mode are for MWIFI models only.

18. Pin number locking
The lock feature allows you to lock 2 different aspects of
the system using a pin number. You can either lock the
heater completely so that it cannot be tampered with,
or only lock the WIFI pairing. Locking the WIFI pairing
prevents people from pairing the heater to their
smartphones unless they have the pin.
These settings can be implemented under the title
‘Lock’ in the settings menu. You cannot view the lock
settings until the WIFI pairing lock is enabled.
To disable the pairing lock via the timer, hold down the
TIME and PROG buttons. To disable the heater lock via
timer, hold down the TIME and TEMP buttons.
This will prompt you to enter a 4-digit pin. Enter the 4-
digit pin using the TEMP and MODE buttons to select a
value, the TIME button to advance to the next digit, and
the PROG button to confirm.
Once the pin has been entered, the lock is disabled and
the pin does not need to be re-entered.
NOTE:
Once this pin has been confirmed, the lock can-
not be removed without knowing the correct pin num-
ber.
The pin is NOT recoverable.
20. Occupancy sensor (MWIFI models only)
In order to detect movement in the room, the heater has
a built in microwave sensor. For the occupancy detection
to work correctly it is necessary to find the right settings for
the sensor. This will minimise erroneous triggering.
All settings can be changed using the Consort Connect
app. This can be done under the title ‘Occupancy Sensor’
in the settings menu.
There are 3 values which can be changed. These are the
sensitivity
,
responsiveness
and the
occupancy timeout
.
The value for
sensitivity
adjusts the point at which a dis-
turbance counts toward the decision to trigger the heater.
It is adjustable from 0 to 9 which adjusts the sensitivity. 0 is
minimum sensitivity, 9 is maximum sensitivity. Setting sensi-
tivity to the minimum setting (zero) disables the sensor.
The value for
responsiveness
is used to consider several
readings before triggering occupancy. This value is also
adjustable from 0 to 9, the higher it is set the less sensor
readings are required to trigger occupancy. 0 is minimum
responsiveness, 9 is maximum responsiveness.
The
occupancy timeout
is the length of time the heater
stays on for without movement being triggered.
How does the microwave sensor work?
The occupancy sensor works differently depending on
what operating mode is manually selected.
When in MANUAL mode, the microwave sensor will switch
the heater into FROST mode automatically when the oc-
cupancy timeout is reached. The app display will then
show ’Auto off’. When this is shown, the heater will switch
back to manual mode automatically once movement is
detected.
When in automatic mode, the heating will automatically
switch off when the occupancy timeout is reached. It will
then switch back on when movement is detected. The
preheat function is unaffected by this and operates as
normal.
19. Self-learning mode (MWIFI models only)
21. Energy consumption
Selecting the icon will load the Energy consumption
menu. This menu shows how much power the individual
heater has used in the last day, week, month and year.
The energy usage values are approximate. They are
based on recording time the heaters are producing
heat. The mains voltage and actual heater wattage
aren’t taking to account when calculating values.
This mode allows the heater to monitor movement
patterns and predict when people are likely to use the
room. Once a pattern is detected, the heater will add
the pattern to the automatic timer. The learning mode
will only switch the heater on automatically if the product
is left in auto mode.
Occupancy sensor data is recorded in a week period.
Time is divided up into hour segments. Any occupancy
detected during the hour counts as an ‘occupied’
segment in the data. There are 2 different learning mode
options available, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. The default
mode is the 2 week learning period. In this operating
mode, if there are readings of occupancy at the same
time and day 3 weeks in a row, then a pattern is
detected and added to the automatic timer. In 2 week
mode, only 2 consecutive weeks are required. The
parameters can be changed via the app. To do this,
enter the settings menu and select the title ‘self
-learning
programme’.
After the
self-learning function
is enabled,
the heater will start overwriting the existing
time schedules immediately. It is
recommended to leave the heaters in manual
mode with occupancy sensor enabled for the
period of 2 or 3 weeks to allow the time
schedules to be recognised by the heaters.
