3.3.2 Comfort Level:
If you feel that the desired room air temperature in your home is not being reached, it is possible to increase the
comfort level settings on your UI, which changes the water input temperature for your entire heating system.
Glen Dimplex heat pumps allow for weather compensation, and operate on a heating curve, which will set the flow
(water input) temperature automatically depending on outside conditions. The heating curves for each zone in your
home would have been set up by the installer during the heat pump installation. Changing the water input
temperature will change the response time for your heating system.
In the comfort level sub-menu it is possible to alter the water input temperature for your system within a range of 6°C
(-3°C to +3°C).
A warmer water input temperature will increase energy consumption and therefore running costs - every 1°C
reduction in the system’s water input temperature will reduce energy consumption by 2.5%.
You can set your comfort level to automatically remain set for anything from 1 hour to 14 days (for short term
changes or seasonal adjustments), or if you wish to keep your settings permanently, there is a permanent setting
option which will stay as set until you change it again manually. The default comfort level setting is 0.
3.3.3 Operating Modes
The clock icon indicates the current operating mode for the space heating.
There are three running modes available;
•
TIMER
TIMER mode activates the pre-set timer programmes which can be modified in the
Settings
sub-menu
(see section 3.3.4).
•
ON
ON mode turns the heating to constantly on. Heating will remain running constantly until the set point
temperature is reached or the
outside off temperature
is surpassed (see section 3.5.3 for information on
setting an
outside off temperature
).
•
OFF
At initial start up, the heating will be set to OFF and will need to be set to either ON or TIMER mode as
required.
In OFF mode, you will be asked for a set-back temperature, which will be the OFF temperature
(minimum room temperature) when the system is idle or between TIMER periods. This is a frost
prevention feature and the default temperature is 15°C, however this can be modified to suit the climate
as often as required.
