Operation Manual
BASIC HEATER OPERATION
GENERAL NOTES ABOUT IGNITION
This appliance has a sealed combustion chamber that requires purging before gas is allowed to flow
and the ignition sequence begins. As a result the combustion fan starts several seconds before there
are any signs of ignition. The normal ignition sequence is as follows:
OPERATION WITHOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL (AUTOMATIC MODE)
1. When the On/Off
button is pressed the Operation Indicator
LED
will glow red and Combustion fan will rotate to purge the system.
2. Ignition sparker operates.
3. As soon as a spark is sensed, gas will flow to the main burner.
4. When the main burner has established the heater will automatically modulate between burner
settings to achieve and maintain the default set temperature of 22°C.
When using the heater for the first time or after long periods of non use, ignition
may not occur the first time it is operated due to air in the gas pipes. If ignition does
not occur within approximately 60 seconds the appliance will attempt to re-light,
however if ignition continues to fail the unit will cease operation automatically. Try
operating the heater again if this occurs.
The heater may make noises after ignition or extinction. This is due to expansion
and contraction of the internal components and is normal page 13 for details.
The heater will not ignite if the ON/OFF button is pressed straight after extinction.
After approximately 20 seconds “purge period” has passed the unit will
automatically go into ignition mode.
The remote control stores the clock, timer and temperature settings for the heater. The heater can
be operated and stopped without the remote control by simply using the On/Off
button on the top
panel of the heater. Operation in this manner is known as automatic mode. In automatic mode the
default set temperature is 22°C. For operation in other modes the remote control must be used.
OPERATION WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL
For the remote control functions to be available, the heater must be switched
between standby and off using the remote control.
The remote control emits an Infra Red (IR) signal and must be aimed at the
receiver unit located to the right of the warm air discharge louvre
. The
normal operating range is approximately 5 metres, up to an angle of
approximately 40 degrees to the horizontal. This range may vary depending
on the position of the installation and the strength of the remote controller
batteries. The remote control transmits information to the heater whenever a
button is pressed except as follows:
1. When the remote control display is de-activated and any button is
pressed to restore the display
2. When the lock function is activated
When the timers are being set, timer information is transmitted only when the
‘Time Set’ button is pressed.
Signal transmissions are confirmed by a brief illumination of the Transmission Signal
Indicator
on the Remote Display
and at the heater the Remote Control Indicator
located to the right of
the warm air discharge louvre
will flash and a beep will sound to confirm that the settings have
been received.
When the remote control is not used for a period of approximately 5 seconds the
display will then default to stand-by mode, displaying only the time.
To re-activate the remote control press any button on the keypad. This returns the
display to the previous mode. No information is transmitted from the controller to
the heater when re-activating the display.
