Not all single supply meters adjust for Daylight Savings Time (DST). If DST is enabled on the heater then the
digital charge times will adjust automatically. When installing with a meter that does not adjust for DST, digi-
tal charge times should be set with an hour buff er at the start and end. Most Dimplex storage heaters can fully
charge within 5 hours and the automatic charge calculation may not always take a full charge so on an E7 or E10
tariff this should not cause an issue.
Smart meters may adjust for DST with server times, in which case this would not be necessary.
Online / ‘Connected’ installation (Dimplex Control connected)
Fixed Off -Peak tariff s
This type of installation is the same as the offl
ine installation above, but the heater’s internal clock will be syn-
chronised with the Dimplex Control cloud server; preventing time drift and removing the need to check the
heater’s clock annually.
Variable charge time tariff s
Some energy suppliers off er variable off -peak tariff s that can work specifi cally with Dimplex Control supported
storage heaters. In this kind of installation, digital charge times do not need to be manually programmed into the
heater, the energy supplier will do this automatically via the Internet and Dimplex Control platform.
NOTE:
As this installation relies on the accuracy of the heater’s internal clock, it is good practice to check the
clock annually and re-adjust if necessary. All clocks are subject to time drift and some can be up to +/-
3 sec per day
NOTE:
If connectivity is lost in this set-up, the heater will automatically change back to the ‘offl
ine’ or ‘non-
variable’ charge times that the energy supplier sent to the heater during setup. The supplier should
recognise that the heater is charging within fi xed charging times and charge the appropriate rate. If
there are any discrepancies, the energy supplier should be contacted.
The mains cable should be stripped to a length of 8mm allowing 10mm extra for cutting off /trimming. Twist the
stripped cable slightly and then trim to a length of 8mm, folded over and inserted into the receptacle with no
insulation trapped and likewise no conductors showing, hence why the strip length is critical. The terminal block
screw should tighten down onto the formed loop and not cut through it.
Ensure that the terminal block is not tightened on the cable insulation as
this may lead to local overheating at the connection which may lead to a
hazard.
CAUTION
The terminal block should be tightened to a minimum torque of 2Nm and
a maximum torque of 2.2Nm.
