SLVT Wireless
Controller
The SLVT controller can control an unlimited number of heaters. The controller has 2 operating modes. It has to be
set to the required mode prior to the installation by using the switches located at the back of the controller.
Please read this guide carefully and retain for future use and maintenance.
Installation and User Guide
1. Getting to know your SLVT wireless controller
In timer mode, switch 3 or 4 must be in the ‘ON’ position. This mode allows for 3 different
settings which will alter the time period for each segment.
Switch 3 - Each time period represents 5 minutes.
Switch 4 - Each time period represents 15 minutes
Switch 3 & 4 - Each time period represents 30 minutes
2. Temperature and 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 4 stage run-back timer. When the controller is in stand-by mode and button is
pressed, the first indicator segment will light up green and heating is activated. When pressed again the second segment
will light up and so on. Each segment is representing a time period that is selected when setting the switches.
In the example below, the only switch in the ‘ON’ position would be number 3. The button would be pressed four times to
activate four 15-minute segments resulting in the heater staying on for 1 hour. At the end of the last time period, the light
indicators will be red for 4 seconds and then go off. The controller is now in stand-by mode.
If the timer mode is not selected, then the user will need to press the ON button again to deactivate the heating.

WARNINGS
· Do NOT handle the appliance with wet hands.
· Do NOT use the appliance in workshops or rooms with high dust
exposure.
· Do NOT cover or restrict any aperture.
· Do NOT use the appliance if damaged.
· Do NOT leave the appliance unattended where young children
are present.
· Ensure that nothing is pushed into any aperture of this controller.
· Operating temperature range -10 to +40ºC.

Prior to installation the maximum comfort temperature must be set by using the knob marked COMF located at
the back of the controller as shown below. The range is 15C to 35C. The maximum comfort temperature limits
the room temperature that can be set by users after installation. The required room temperature can be
reduced by users by using the two adjustment buttons on the front of the controller after installation. These
buttons allow the user to change the set room temperature up or down subject to not exceeding the maximum
temperature set prior to installation.
After pressing the on button the heating will operate until the set room temperature is achieved, at this point the
indicator lights around the on button will change from green to orange. When the room temperature drops the
heating will become active again and the indicator lights will change back to green.
The display screen will show the actual room temperature, except briefly when either of the two adjustment
buttons are pressed, the new target room temperature is then temporarily displayed. This will flash to show you it
is the target temperature and not the room temperature.
3. Temperature Control 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.
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 indicators will illuminate red and green.
4. Changing temperature or timer settings after installation
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.
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 indicators will light up red and the
heating will be disabled. However, setback mode will still operate at low
temperature.

7. Installation
The controller is designed to fit onto most single gang back boxes. Do not use a recessed metal box for the
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. damage the components when
connecting the cables.
WARNING, this controller is not compatible with single gang metal back box with 4 fixing lugs.
6. Choosing a position in a room
The SLVT 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. Damp areas or areas where SLVT can be mechanically
damaged should also be avoided. 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 trough the walls or other objects. The range can be also
affected where the controller is mounted close to power cables, motors or equipment producing 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 and N wires to the connectors marked as L and N.
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 17 edition of the IEE Wiring
Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws. This heater is fitted with a 3-core mains supply
cable and should be permanently connected to the electricity supply via a double pole switch having 3mm gap
on each pole. A switched Fused Connection unit to BS.1363. Part 4 is a recommended mains supply connection
accessory to ensure compliance with safety requirements applicable to fixed-wiring installation.
10. Self Diagnostic
Powering the controller with 12Vdc
allows the controller to be installed in a
zone 2 area, however, 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.
Please note: A 12Vdc power supply does
not come with this controller, however, a
standard 12Vdc constant voltage LED
driver could be used.
9. 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 controller is operating outside of the temperature limits, the 4
indicators will flash red . If this happens, controller will not function in order to protect itself and the heaters.
11. Pairing with heaters
In order to pair your appliance with the controller you must:
· Ensure that the controller must be in OFF position (the light segments off or red).
· Turn power to the appliance ON.
· Within 20 seconds, press and hold the ON button on the controller until the orange segments light up in a
sequence.
· After the pairing is finished, the light segments 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.
