RXPW1 - 7 Day Timer/Programmer

TIDN7DP001

Issue 0

IMPORTANT: THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

General

The RXPW1 can only be used in the PLX05 electronic range of heaters.

They offer either individual programming (each individual heater has a programming module) or group programming from a master heater through the pilot wire. Group programming can drive up to 10 slave heaters.

Fig. 1

Two heating positions are offered: comfort and off, with temperatures set using the controls on the heater.

For default Screen see Fig. 1.

Installation

The RXPW1 is rated at 230V.

1. Switch the heater off.

2. Using a narrow bladed screwdriver, carefully release the cover from the slot on right hand side of the thermostat on the Panel Heater.

3. Remove the 7-day plug in timer from it's box and plug it into the slide in compartment now exposed - see Fig. 2. Insert the programmer fully so that it clicks into position. Switch the heater back on at the mains supply.

Individual Programming

Fit one programmer to each EPX heater. (Note: When the heater is installed, the black pilot wire in the mains supply cable should be trimmed back in accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Programming for a Zone

The heater containing the RXPW1 is the Master heater and connected by the black pilot wire to the Slave heaters. The Master heater determines the Program and heating levels for all the heaters (Comfort and Off), but the actual comfort temperature should still be set on each individual heater (see EPX Panel Heater instructions). The master heater will switch between Comfort and Off according to the program.

Electrical Connection Master/Slave Heaters

DO NOT connect the BLACK (PILOT) SIGNAL WIRE to earth. When the programmer drives other heaters, connect the pilot wire from the 'MASTER' unit to the pilot wire of a 'SLAVE' heater and then from one 'SLAVE' heater to another (in series) - see Fig. 3.

Any 240V insulated cable may be used to link pilot wires around the ring main. The signal current is low. Suitable connections would be either an additional single core wire marked or colour coded appropriately or use a 4 core cable throughout the heater ring.

Operating Instructions
