1. Getting to know your CRX2 wireless controller
Please read this guide carefully and retain for future use and maintenance.
This must be done, otherwise the heaters will not work.
Power up the CRX2 (see section ‘Power options’ for details).
There are 2 different sequences used for pairing. The sequence
used will depend on the heater.
To find out which sequence to use, check the heater rating
label and identify the model number.
If the last two digits are lower than 10 use sequence 1.
If the last two digits are 10 or higher use sequence 2.
If the rating label is not visible, follow the steps below:
Ensure the heater is switched OFF.
Switch the heater ON and observe the LED.
If the LED flashes red then goes green use sequence 1.
If the LED is solid green use sequence 2.
Sequence 1
Set heater into pairing mode as follows:
1. Locate the heater status light.
2. Turn power to the heater ON. Count 4 seconds, or
count 5 red flashes of the status light on the heater.
Turn power OFF.
3. Turn power back ON. The heater status light should
be flashing green.
(If the light is not flashing green, the 4 second timing
was incorrect. Repeat step 1.)
4. The heater is now ready for pairing with CRX2.
The next 3 steps must be done within 30 seconds. After 30
seconds the heater will return to normal operating mode. Set
the CRX2 into pairing mode as follows:

17. Status light on the heater
The CRX2 controller can be powered either by a 5V power
adapter with a micro USB connector, supplied power
adapter via USB port or 4 AAA batteries. There are 2
available USB ports for power. One port is located on the
bottom and one at the back of the controller.
The CRX2 is a wireless thermostat giving high precision room
temperature control. It is also a 7 day programmer with up to
6 temperature settings per day. Each CRX2 can control any
number of heaters in the same room (zone).
The CRX2 controller is compatible with the MRX1 Multizone
controller. Please refer to the instructions of the MRX1 when
connecting the CRX2 controller to the MRX1.
19. Power options
Power options, installation guide and setup menu
18. Choosing a position in a room
The CRX2 should be fixed to the wall or used with the table
top bracket. Avoid areas with draft or direct sun. Do not
position CRX above or close to the heaters or other heat
sources. Damp areas or areas where CRX2 can be
mechanically damaged should also be avoided.
Remove the CRX2’s battery cover and insert 4 new high
quality alkaline AAA batteries.
Warning: Consort is not responsible for damage due to
corrosion. Battery leakage will cause permanent damage.
Do not use batteries when unit is powered on with mains.
To help avoid battery leak:
 Replace the batteries annually, even if there is not a
low battery warning. Remove failing or flat batteries
immediately.
 Always fit a pair of new high quality alkaline batteries
from the same pack. Never mix new and old batteries,
or batteries of different brands or types.
 Never attempt to revive alkaline batteries by heating,
crushing or recharging.
Note: The clock has to be set after replacing the batteries, or
if the USB power cable has been removed from the CRX2.
This does not apply if it is being used with the MRX1 Multizone
controller.
20. Batteries
21. Power adapter for fixed installation
The CRX2 controller is supplied with a power adapter that will
fit a 35mm or a 25mm metal or dry lining back box. The
power adapter should only be connected to a wiring
protected by a 6A fuse or 6A circuit breaker. Connect line
and neutral conductors to the terminal block. Please note
that the adaptor supplied with the controller must be
installed exactly as the figures show, otherwise the USB
connector will not fit correctly. The centre of the back box
must be kept clear to allow room for the USB connector.
When fitting the wall bracket, ensure that the adaptor is
installed properly and feed the cable through the centre of
the bracket. Screw the bracket to a back box taking care
not to damage the power adaptor or leads by long screws.
Connect the USB cable into the power port at back of the
controller as shown on the photo. Check that the CRX2 is
working. Attach top of the CRX2 to the wall bracket and
slowly tilt it to place observing that the USB connector is
moving in to the opening freely. Once the controller is in
place secure the two screws on the bottom of the controller.
Please note that the controller screen will take up to
one minute to display after powering up for the FIRST
time.

seconds.
2. The CRX2 will enter the setup menu.
3. Use and to change a value.
4. Use to scroll between the settings.
01 –temperature calibration
The temperature reading has been factory calibrated but if
for any reason it needs adjusting (better accuracy required,
to suit different position in the room etc.), the reading can be
recalibrated in 0.5 degrees steps.
Please note that if the unit is powered by the power adapter, the
temperature reading REQUIRES recalibration. Lower the value by 1.5
degrees.
02 –change between degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit
03 –set minimum temperature
(- - - = heating OFF, 4deg = frost protection)
04 –set maximum temperature
05 - information about the software version
06 - 0 or 1 manual mode enable / disable
07 - open window detection 0 = off, 1 = on
08 - 600 - open window detection time 600 seconds
09 - 2 - temperature drop of 2°C in the detection time
10 - 30 - closed window detection time of 30 seconds
11 -2 - temperature rise of 2°C in the detection time
Ensuring you don’t waste energy on heating the outside
world, the heater is equipped with optional open /
closed window detection. The heater recognises sudden
drops in temperature when a window or a door is
opened and turns the heating off to save energy. When
the window is closed, the heater will automatically
detect a temperature rise, and switch itself back on.
Once enabled in the setup menu, the open window
detection is fully automatic and does not require any
human intervention to be activated.
Setting-up Open Window Detection
The system has been factory set to default time and
temperature values. If necessary, all values can be
adjusted. When the heating is on, open window
detection sensor will automatically switch the heater off
when it detects a fall in temperature of 2°C in less than
10 minutes (this temperature can be changed in menu 7
and time in menu 6). If a temperature rise of 2°C in less
than 30 seconds is detected, the heater will switch itself
back on (this temperature can be changed in menu 9
and time in menu 8).
