Date & Time Settings
This allows the Time, Date and Daylight Savings Time settings to be modifi ed.
Sound
Audio feedback when the user presses a button can be enabled or disabled here.
'Comms' (Communications)
This allows Wireless Connectivity features to be enabled or disabled. Entering this menu item will display a list of
available communications methods to that heater.
Adaptive
Open Window Detection
This is a global setting that can interrupt any active mode. Activating this setting enables Open Window Detection
to switch the Heater to a Heating Off state if it detects an open window in the room it's operating in.
NOTE:
In environments where the product may read sudden decreases in temperature, this feature may
activate in error. This can occur in drafty or poorly insulated environments as well as if the heater is
undersized for the room. This feature should be disabled using the instructions above if activating for
reasons other than the intended purpose. If you think that your environment is not as described here
and this feature is activating, please contact our customer care team with the details on the rear page
of this document.
Adaptive Start Setting
Adaptive Start is predictive function that only modifi es Timer Mode operation. This function models the heating
characteristics of the room and uses that information to pre-heat the room for only the time required to achieve
the Target Temperature by the start of the Heating On period.
For example, with Adaptive Start off , the Heating On time is the time that the Heater will begin to try and achieve
the Target Temperature. With Adaptive Start On, the Heater will begin to heat the room before the User-defi ned
Heating On time so that the Target Temperature is achieved when the User defi ned the Heating On start time.
NOTE:
It is important that if multiple heaters are installed in one room that all heaters have the Adaptive Start
(AS) function enabled. If this is not the case, heaters with AS enabled will pre-heat the room to the
desired target temperature before the heaters with AS disabled attempt to output heat.
It is likely that if two heaters are required in one room, that the output from one heater may not be
suffi cient to heat the room alone. This may cause the pre-heat time calculation to extend to a large
degree if the heaters do not all have AS enabled. This may lead to heat
at unwanted times and excessive wear to some heaters.
A two-hour limit is enforced on the calculation, however, if all heaters have AS enabled and pre-
heating takes over one-hour, extreme environmental factors may be aff ecting the calculation or the
heaters may be under sized for the room. Please contact us for support
if your pre-heat time seems excessive.
NOTE:
This is a continuously learning function and will be aff ected daily by changes in the heater's
environment. The heater will take into account the starting temperature of the room so pre-heating
should remain accurate.
