GENERAL NOTES ABOUT IGNITION
OPERATION WITHOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL (AUTOMATIC MODE)
OPERATION WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL
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:
1. When the On/Off button
is pressed the Operation Indicator LED
will glow ‘BLUE’
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 16 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 left hand side 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.
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 on the bottom right hand corner of the front panel
. 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
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.
