2 Energy saving functions

2.1 Dual circuit heating element

The Dimplex RCE radiant heat convector has a convection heating element and a radiant heating system. This combination enables just the radiant heating to be used if the temperature difference is low. This minimises the risk of overheating the room, which saves energy.

2.2 "Open Window" function

If a window or a door is left open by mistake, the control will detect the sudden temperature fluctuations and switch to Standby mode. If the window or door is closed, the device returns to normal mode. This function interrupts the heating operation to prevent heat from escaping from the room in an uncontrolled manner. This saves money and minimises energy consumption.

2.3 Learning function

This function enables the heating device to be switched on early to ensure that the desired temperature is reached at the time specified in the program.

Example: A temperature of 21^ C is set for mornings at 7 am in the time program. The heating device now determines how long it takes to reach the desired temperature at the specified time based on its "experience".

NOTE

If the Anticipatory (ES) function is activated, the device heats for the pre-set time to ensure that the room has reached the required temperature at the right time. Technical Device Description.

Installation on wooden walls is permissible.

All models are splash-water protected in accordance with the IP24 standard and can be used in bathrooms in protection zone II.

The supply connection socket must be accessible after installation.

ATTENTION!

The original wall bracket supplied on the rear of the device must be used!

■ Remove the wall bracket from the rear of the device by pressing the springs on each side. (see Fig. 2.)
- Drill the fastening holes. Look out for electric cables or pipework in the wall.
■ Screw the wall bracket securely to the wall with the accompanying screws.
- Hook the device into the bottom slots on the wall bracket.
■ Bring the device into an upright position and press the device into the springs until they engage to lock in place.

ACHTUNG!

Please note that burning cigarettes, candles and oil lamps, in conjunction with the convection of electric heating systems, can cause soot deposits on the wall and on the surface of the device. This is not a device malfunction.

5 Electrical connection

The current regulations according to VDE 0100 part 701 and the relevant installation requirements must be observed. The heating devices are equipped with a device connection cable, type H05VV-F, 4 x 1.0 mm², without a plug.

Wire assignment of the device connection cable:

■ Green/yellow: 'PE' protective conductor
■ Blue: 'N' - neutral conductor supply voltage
■ Brown: 'L' - phase supply voltage
■ Black: Pilot wire

ATTENTION!

The pilot wire has no function and must be isolated correctly! Do not earth the pilot wire!

The device connection cable must be connected to a connection socket which is suitable for the heating device. A disconnecting device with a contact opening of at least 3 mm at each pole (e.g. circuit breaker) must be provided in the permanently installed wiring.

6 Overload protector

For your safety, the heating device is equipped with an overload protector. If the air circulation is interrupted, the overload protector switches off the heating device. After sufficient cooling, the heating device switches on again automatically.

If the overload protector is triggered multiple times, the cause must be determined (e.g. ventilation grill covered).

The triggering of the overload protector is shown in the display by a red flashing indicator light.

To reset the display, remove the cause of the overheating and press the ENTER key for 10 seconds.

7 Operation

7.1 Control panel

The control elements are located on the top right side of the device. The device is equipped with a configurable electronic control unit, consisting of a display and six touchscreen keys.

The heating device also has an adjustable room thermostat for controlling the room temperature. The adjustable minimum temperature is 7^ C.

The maximum temperature is set to 26 °C at the factory, but can be increased to a maximum of 32 °C.

A temperature of 21^ C corresponds to a normal room temperature.
