SLPBWP Wireless
Controller
The SLPBWP controller can control multiple heaters within its RF range. The RF range can be extended if necessary,
see product code SLEXT. The SLPBWP is rated IP65 making suitable for outdoor use. The controller has 3 operating
modes. The required mode must be set prior to the installation by using the switches located on the back of the
controller. These modes are:
 Timer
 Basic
 Temperature Control
Please read this guide carefully and retain for future use and maintenance.
Installation and User Guide
1. Getting to know your SL wireless controller
In timer mode, switch 3 and/or 4 must be in the ‘ON’ position. This mode allows for 3
different settings which will alter the time period .
Switch 3 - Time period of 15 minutes.
Switch 4 - Time period of 30 minutes.
Switch 3 & 4—Time period of 60 minutes
2. Timer Mode
For timer mode, the switches are set as shown below.
Controller functionality in timer mode:
In timer mode, the controller acts as a run-back timer. When the controller is in stand-by mode and the button is pressed,
the light indicator will light up green and heating is activated. Once activated the indicator will change from green to
light blue showing it’s in run-back mode. Once the timer has run out, the light will go red and de-activate the heating.
If the button is pressed when the controller is in run-back mode, this will cancel the time and de-active the heating.
WARNINGS
 Do NOT use the appliance if damaged.
 Do NOT leave the appliance unattended where young children
are present.
 Operating temperature range -10 to +40ºC.
Heating
Active Stand-By
For basic mode, the switches are set as shown below.
Controller functionality in basic mode:
Press button to activate heating, press button again to set controller to stand-by.
When heating is active, the light indicator is green. After pressing the button, heating is set to stand-by; the indicator
will change from green to red for 4 seconds and then go off.
3. Basic Mode

Temperature control for comfort and setback periods can be used individually or together. This can also be used in
conjunction with the timer mode options.
The temperature control feature will effectively maintain the set room temperature.
The target temperature can be set using the knob marked COMF located at the
back of the controller as shown below. The range is 15ºC - 35ºC. Once the room
temperature reaches the set temperature, the indicator will change from green to
yellow. When the room temperature drops, heating will became active and the
indicator will change to green.
In this mode, the controller will set heating active when the room temperature drops
below the set temperature. This feature can be used for frost protection or in situations
where a minimum room temperature must be maintained. The setback temperature
can be set using the knob marked SETB mounted on the back of the unit as shown
above. This can be set from 0ºC - 15ºC.
Temperature control for Setback period
For this mode, the switches are set as shown below.
If the heating is active in the setback mode, the indicator will illuminate blue.
Temperature control for Comfort period (where being used for an internal application)
For this mode, switches are set as shown below.
4. Temperature Control Mode
The temperature and/or timer settings can be changed after installation. It is important to switch the power off to
the controller before the changes are made. After the changes are made and the power is restored the new
settings will take effect.
5. Changing temperature or timer settings after installation
The controller can be switched off using any external device with voltage free contacts. For
example, timers or a building management system.
If this function isn’t used, a wire link across the external input connectors must be used.
When the external input connection is open, the indicator will illuminate red and the heating
will be disabled. However, setback mode will still operate at low temperature.
6. External Input
7. Choosing a position in a room
The SLPBWP controller should be fixed to the wall. Avoid areas with draught or direct sun. Do not position the
controller above or close to the heaters or other heat sources. Avoid installing the controller in areas where there
are metal objects between the heater and the controller. This will reduce the RF range. The RF range in ideal
conditions can be up to 20m however this can be reduced when the signal is passing through the walls or other
objects. The range can be also affected where the controller is mounted close to power cables, motors or
equipment producing a strong electromagnetic field. If the temperature control feature is used it is necessary to use
one controller for each room or zone.
8. Connection to the Main Supply
For the mains power, connect L, N & E wires to the connectors marked as L, N & E.
Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer, preferably registered with NICEIC (National
Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) in accordance with the 18 edition of the IEE Wiring
Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws.

9. Installation
The controller can be powered by either mains
240VAC 50Hz or 12VDC. The power consumption is less
than 1W. Do not connect mains voltage to 12V
terminals, this will damage the controller. The
maximum size wire that can be used is 1mm2. This can
be twin and earth or standard flex . Do not overtighten
the connector screws. Take care not to damage the
components when connecting the cables.
The gland outlet can be positioned at the top or
bottom of the controller this will depend on the
installation.
The controller comes with 4 wall plugs suitable for a
5mm hole and 4 screws. See the diagram on the right
for installation assembly.
12. Self Diagnostic
When powering the controller with 12Vdc, the installation must comply with the Separated Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
requirements. When powered by 12VDC, please ensure that the power supply is suitable for 12V 0.1A. For 12VDC
power connect positive wire to terminal marked +12V and negative to terminal marked –12V.
11. Connection to 12V DC
The controller is equipped with a self diagnostic software that will check functionality of all main components. If
there is a fault with any part of the controller or the controller is operating outside of the temperature limits, the light
indicator will flash red . If this happens, controller will not function in order to protect itself and the heaters.
13. Pairing with heaters
In order to pair your appliance with the controller you must do the following:
 Ensure the controller is in the OFF position (the light indicator is off or red).
 Turn power to the appliance ON.
 Within 20 seconds, press and hold the ON button on the controller until the light indicator begins to flash yellow.
 After the pairing is finished, the light indictor will change to green.
 If the pairing was successful, the appliance should emit heat. It can take up to 4 seconds.
 After 4 seconds, the appliance will be switched off.
 The appliance is now ready to be used.
