Important:

Comfort Off mode is an active state and does not imply the appliance is Off, it is simply not controlling to a room set point.

Advanced Mode Functions

These functions modify the normal behaviour of the appliances operational modes. The advanced functions available will depend on the active operation mode, for example an advance function is only available when timer mode is operational and similarly a runback function is only available for continuous heating modes.

The 'Advance' Function

The ADV button forces the next timer segment to activate early, this forces a temporary change and will not effect the timer schedule. This allows the user the flexibility to begin or end a programmed heating period early, with the touch of a button.

This is useful if you are at home when you had not planned to be, or need to leave when you had planned to have the heating on.

If the remote displays OFF, Schedule Icon or no target temperature, and heat is required, press the ADV button. If the remote displays ON and heat is not required, press the ADV button and the heater will stop heating until the beginning of the next ON period.

Heating Off (Advance Active) Advance deactivatedHeating Off Switches to Heating On. Appliance will follow schedule set in the currently active Timer Profile

Runback

The Runback mode will assign a timed period to a continuous heating mode. Once this time period has elapsed the appliance will revert to Comfort Off mode. When runback has been activated and the ADV key is pressed from a continuous heating mode then it is possible to select between four available time durations. See Advanced Menu instructions on page 28 for details on activating runback and setting the time periods.

Initiating Runback

  • While in a continuous heat mode, press the ADV button to initiate the runback function. The shortest available runback duration will appear flashing on the screen.
  • If desired the additional runback duration periods can be accessed by pressing the ADV button. There will be four runback time durations available to select from.
  • Continue pressing Advance until the desired runback time has been reached
  • When satisfied with the selection press ENTER to confirm.
  • Once active the set-point will change to the pre-set value that has been selected during the runback setup. The set point can be changed at any stage using the arrow keys.
  • The display will then alternate every 2 seconds between runback time left and current temperature set point.

NOTE:

When activated the temperature set-point which has been set during the mode setup (above) will be active. This value can be adjusted temporarily during runback mode operation by using the arrow keys.

Setback Settings

Setback is a function that only modifies Timer Mode operation. When Setback is enabled it overrides any Heating Off period to maintain a constant temperature during Heating Off periods.

This can be used to prevent the room temperature from falling below a minimum value while there is no demand for heat (Heating On).

Adaptive Start

Adaptive Start is a predictive function that only modifies Timer Mode operation. This function models the heating characteristics of the room and uses that information to pre-heat the room to ensure the target temperature has been reached 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-defined Heating On time so that the Target Temperature is achieved when the User defined the Heating On start time.

To activate Adaptive Start:

  • Hold ADV and MENU buttons for 2 seconds
  • Use the arrow keys to highlight the adaptive start icon and confirm using the ENTER key
  • Use the arrow keys to toggle Adaptive Start ON or OFF
  • Press ENTER to confirm your option and return to the home screen. If adaptive start has been activated, the icon will be visible when in timer mode home screen.

DIMPLEX WFE3SE - Adaptive Start - 2

NOTE:

This is a continuously learning function and will be affected 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.

DIMPLEX WFE3SE - NOTE: - 1

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 multiple heaters are required in one room, that the output from one heater may not be sufficient 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 affecting the calculation or the heaters may be under sized for the room. Please contact us for support if your pre-heat time seems excessive.

PIN Lock

This locking method utilises a PIN code that is set by the User. When activated, the appliance is locked in the previously active mode and user will be restricted to basic functions. In order to change the mode or settings the PIN code must be re entered.

It is important that all required parameters such as time profiles and/or temperatures are set and the desired mode is activated before applying the PIN lock.
