> 3s Press the and keys at the same time for more than 3 seconds to access the advanced functions of the device. Calibration A difference between the setpoint temperature and the temperature actually measured in the room is possible, it is generally due to the installation conditions of the heater (location, power / volume, insulation of the room, ..). Calibration adapts the thermostat setting to actual room conditions.

1 - Place the heater in manual mode on 20 ° C and wait several hours

2 - Measure the room temperature using a thermometer and calculate the difference

deviation = measured temperature - setpoint temperature

Malfunctions are often due to minor causes; please read the table below before contacting the after-sales service. This can save you time and avoid unnecessary expenses. Problem Causes, Solutions The control box does not turn on. The device is on standby mode. Press any key to activate the display. Check that the device is electrically powered. Check that the switch is in position I. The heating LED does not light. The heating LED lights only when the resistance is powered. Check that the extinction of LED during stand by was not activated (Chapter Advanced Functions) The room temperature is It is necessary to wait at least 6 hours for the temperature to stabilize. different from that displayed It is possible to adjust the set temperature to the temperature measured in the room on the device. (see "Calibration" in the Advanced Functions) The unit does not heat. In programming mode, check that the heater is on a Comfort range. Check power supply (circuit breaker) Check the temperature of the room: if it is too high compare to the setpoint temperature, the heater does not heat. The device heats all the time Check programming Check that the device is not located in a draught (open door, cold air from the junction box at the rear of the device, centralized mechanical ventilation) or that the setpoint temperature has not changed. In case of problems (thermostat blocked ..), cut the unit off (fuse, circuit breaker) for about 10 minutes, and then on again The unit does not heat enough. Increase the setpoint temperature. If set up is maximum, check the following:

• Check whether another heating mode exists in the room.
• Ensure that the device only heats the room (door closed).
• Check if the power of the heater is adapted to the size of the room (we recommend averaged 125 W / m2 for a ceiling height of 2.50 m). The device is slow to heat up. The electrical resistance heats the fluid that is gradually and naturally circulating inside the device. Due to the fluid inertia properties, the device surface temperature reaches an optimal level only after 15 min minimum, according to the room temperature during the heat up of the device. The device is very hot in surface. It is normal that the device is hot when in use, even if the maximum surface temperature is limited in accordance with the NF standard Electricity. If the device is still too hot, check that the power of the device is adapted to the size of the room (we recommend averaged 125 W / m2 for a ceiling height of 2.50 m) and the device is not placed in a draught that would disrupt its regulation (eg under centralized mechanical ventilation). The last upper and lower units are more lukewarm than the rest of the unit The upper elements are not completely filled to allow for expansion of the working fluid. They heat only by conduction. The lower elements channel the return of the fluid which transmitted its heat. The device makes a liquid noise when it is handled. During unpacking or installation, it is normal to hear the fluid flow within the device. The device does not follow the internal programming commands. Check the date and time are set. Check that the unit is in Program Mode.

Problem Causes, Solutions The device does not follow the commands of the pilot wire. Be sure of the proper use of the Centralized Manager (see instructions of the central manager). Check that the device is in manual mode. Check that the pilot wire is connected. Check the proper transmission of programming commands. As part of the programming via pilot wire or powerline, the frost-free or load shedding commands are priority. The changeover time from the Comfort mode to Eco mode is about 12 seconds. The changeover time from comfort -1 / -2 to comfort is about 5 minutes. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service of your store.

Warranty The warranty does not cover problems related to improper installation, incorrect wiring or improper use. In this case, damages and interests are not supported. CHARACTERISTICS
