Operation; Heat Storage; Manual Control; Heat Discharge - Olsberg CTSC User Manual

Operation

The appliance is operated using the operating ele-
ment of the electronic control unit, which you will find
on the front of the appliance at the top right. By acti-
vating the buttons and rotary knobs, you can operate
the appliance manually or store programmes which
will automatically execute certain programmes. See
the chapter "Electronic control CTSC" for more.

Heat Storage

The storage of the heat takes place automatically. The
amount of residual heat from the previous day is al-
ways taken into account when the heater is charged
using the charge control.

Manual Control

Charging for the following day, and thus the amount of
heat to be stored, can be continuously adjusted using
the target charge level knob on the appliance:
• No storage:
Knob fully left (anti-clockwise)
• Full storage: Knob fully right (clockwise)
Once the set level of heat has been stored, the charge
control switches off automatically.

Heat Discharge

The control of the heat discharge is by means of a
room thermostat. Once the room temperature falls
below the set level and the automatic fan function has
been activated (green LED lights up), the fan in the
storage heater is switched on and heat dissipated into
the room for such a period as is necessary to bring
the temperature back up to the desired level.

Summer Operation

Turn the adjustment knobs both on the heater to MIN
(fully anti-clockwise) during the summer months. Do
not switch off the charge control fuse, since the bat-
tery will then have to supply power to the internal
clock.

Energy Saving Tips

• Only heat when necessary.
• Keep the room temperature at 20°C if possible.
Each degree above 20°C increases the heating
costs by 6 to 7%. Likewise, each degree below
20°C saves the same amount of energy.
• Do not heat only by the radiation from the surfaces
of the heater, but use the fan as well. If necessary,
turn the heater charge adjusting knob slightly down
(anti-clockwise).
• During long periods of absence in the heating sea-
son allow the room temperature to sink, but not be-
low 10°C. This saves energy without the risk of the
building cooling out so far as to cause freezing of
pipes, etc.
• Continuous airing of a building by having the win-
dows ajar is too expensive. Short bursts of strong
ventilation by opening windows fully is preferable.
When ventilating, if fan clearance has been acti-
vated (green LED lights up), use the fan button to
turn off the fan clearance (green LED off).
• If windows and doors are draughty, improve the
draught-excluding seals.
• Close blinds and shutters after dusk, reducing the
loss of heat from the windows.
• For reasons of fire safety, full-length curtains and
blinds are not allowed in front of storage heaters.
Apart from that, they reduce the heat-transfer into
the room, increase the losses via the windows and
cause an increase in energy consumption.
• The building fabric (walls, ceilings, etc.) and also
the furniture in the rooms absorb heat in a delayed
time-frame, store this heat and transfer it back into
the room very slowly. This should be taken into ac-
count when setting the room thermostat and also
any night-time set back.
