What is a programmer?
...an Explanation for Householders (as recommended by the Energy Savings Trust)
Programmers allow you to set 'ON' and 'OFF' time periods. Some models switch the central heating and domestic hot water on and off at the same time, while others allow the domestic hot water and heating to come on and go off at different times.
Set the 'ON' and 'OFF' time periods to suit your own lifestyle. On some programmers you must also set whether you want the heating and hot water to run continuously, run under the chosen 'ON' and 'OFF' heating periods, or be permanently off.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at the changes between greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.
You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, 'Override', 'Advance', or 'Boost'. These are explained in the manufacturer's instructions.
The heating will not work if the room thermostat has switched the heating off. And, if you have a hot-water cylinder, the water heating will not work if the cylinder thermostat detects that the hot water has reached the correct temperature.
Your two channel programmer provides timing control for your central heating and domestic hot water, letting you set ON and OFF periods to suit your own lifestyle.

When first using the timer, you have to set programming type, date and time.
Depending on the product you can choose between three different settings: Daily, Weekly 1) or Week-Weekend 1).
Daily | All days (Monday - Sunday) are programmed with the same ON/OFF time schedule |
Weekly 1) | You can program each day (Monday, Tuesday, ...) with a different ON/OFF time schedule |
Week-Weekend 1) | You can program Monday - Friday with a ON/ OFF time schedule and Saturday - Sunday with a different one. |
If you wish to change the date or time, follow the instructions below:
Your programmer can operate on the 12 hour AM/PM or 24 hour clock formats.
If you wish to change the clock format, follow the instructions below:
With the date and time correct, your timer will now be operating to the built-in programmes. These have been designed to provide heating at typical times throughout the day.
The built-in programmes give you a starting point that you can personalise to your own requirements, please see the section "Review/Edit central heating program" or "Review/Edit domestic hot water program".

The built-in programmes can be selected in the INSTALLERS MENU.
To access to installers menu, the device must be working in RUN mode.
"fully pumped system" or "gravity-fed system
Fully pumped Domestic Hot Water system (PUMPED) | The term for any boiler that uses a pump to move all the heat from the boiler to every part of the system is "fully pumped". As a rule one pump is used to circulate the water through valves which divert the fl ow to the relevant part of the system (Central heating or Domestic Hot water). In this type of systems, both channels of the programmer can work independently. |
Gravity-fed Domestic Hot Water system (GRAVITY) | In gravity fed hot water systems, whenever the boiler comes on to service heating, there will inevitably be some circulation through the hot water storage tank, which will then heat up. Then there is no possibility to have independent programs for heating and hot water. |
You can choose the desired system in the INSTALLERS MENU.
To access to installers menu, the device must be working in RUN mode.

Example: Daily programming DHW, built-in programme STD
The settings for a weekly programming DHW is done in the same way as the weekly programming for central heating (CH), see example „Weekly programming CH" on the left side.
The operating mode may only be changed when RUN mode is activated (green indicator lamp RUN must be ON).
OFF | The system will remains OFF. |
AUTO | The system will be switched ON and OFF according to the adjusted program. |
ONCE | The heating will come ON at the first programmed ON time, and go OFF at the last programmed OFF time. |
CONTINUOUS | The system will remain ON continuously. |
The Override function (temporary program override) allows the user to finish the current running program prematurely or start a program to run before its scheduled start. This depends on the current channel status.
The Override function applies only to the current program and remains active until the next program change. After that, the programmer returns to AUTO mode.
The Override function is only available when the device is running in AUTO and ONCE operating mode.
Example
AUTO mode
Example 1
Example 2
Holidays DAY/ TIME OK The extra hour button allows you to switch the system ON for up to 3 extra hours without altering the program.
Example
AUTO mode
Example 1
Example 2
The Holiday function allows you to switch OFF your heating system for a specified number of days (from 1-90 days). This lets you save energy and related costs when you are away from home, but resumes normal operation on the day of your return.
To cancel the Holiday function, just press the HOLIDAY button again. If you use the holiday function during winter you should ensure that you have a secondary frost protection device in your system to prevent frost damage.
