EVENT 3 EVENT 2
In the above diagram, event 2 has been moved to 15:30. Note that events 3 & 4 have also been
moved to that time, and that the following control temperature will be that of event 4.
It is possible to move events past midnight into the following day, when the day number will blink
in the display, see the display diagram in the notes on setting event times.
NOTES ON SETTING EVENT
TIMES
If, during the event checking and setting
procedure, no buttons are pressed for more
than two minutes then the HC75 will return to
RUN mode automatically. If this appears to
have occurred, it is advisable to re-check the
programme to ensure that it is as required.
When setting event times and temperatures
it is not possible to set event times out of
chronological order.
Event 1 may be set at any time from 0:00 to
23:59 (but would normally be in the morning).
Event 2 may be set at any time between event
1 and 23 hours, 59 minutes after event 1.
Event 3 may be set at any time between event
2 and 23 hours, 59 minutes after event 1.
Event 4 may be set at any time between event
3 and 23 hours, 59 minutes after event 1,....
and so on.
If the event time being set is moved past
midnight into the following day then the number
of the following day will blink.
When using the + button to adjust events 1 to
5 and the event time being adjusted becomes
the same as the following event time, then
both are changed simultaneously. This applies
to all subsequent event times reached and is
demonstrated in the lower diagram on the
left.
When using the - button to adjust events 2 to
6 and the previous event time is reached the
- button ceases to respond.
The factory pre-set programme may be
reinstated by pressing the recessed RESET
button. This will however reinstate all the
factory pre-set conditions, so that the clock
type, temperature scale and optimum start
period (if enabled) may also have to be re-set.

USER'S GUIDE
Heating/Cooling S stem Performance.
The HC75 includes one in-built and one optional comfort enhancement
feature that may have been enabled by your installer. Both will affect
the way in which the heating part of your system operates, and this will
be different from that provided by conventional time controls and room
thermostats.
The in-built feature is an intelligent electronic anticipator which measures
the rate of temperature rise then switches the heating plant off before
the set temperature is reached. However the required comfort
temperature will be reached due to the residual heat in the system after
the heating planthas shut down. This feature is only activated when the
space temperature is 2°C or more lower than the set temperature.
If the optional Chrono-proportional feature has been enabled, then the
heating plant will operate at regular intervals to prevent the large
swings in space temperature caused by heat emitters alternating
between very hot and cold. In mild weather and when the system is up
to temperature the heating plant may operate only in short bursts with
long periods of inactivity. This is not a fault, and will provide increased
comfort.
RUN MODE
Whilst the HC75 is in RUN mode, i.e. controlling the space temperature
in accordance with the programme, the colon between the hours and
minutes digits blinks. The colon does not blink whilst the time and
programme are being set.
SELECTING THE CLOCK TYPE (12hr or 24hr)
The factory pre-set clock has a 24 hour display. If a 12 hour display
with AM/PM indication is preferred then press and hold down the
NEXT and DAY buttons until the display changes. Repeat to return to
a 24 hour display.

WINTER TIME / SUMMER TIME CLOCK
When the clocks are changed from Summer Time to Winter Time (or
vica versa) there is no need to alter the clock by entering programming
mode (i.e. pressing the PROG button). Instead just press and hold
down the - button to change from Summer Time to Winter Time or the
+ button to change from Winter Time to Summer Time. The first time
this is done (after a RESET) the clock is set and can only be changed
by one hour as appropriate.
If a mistake is made, e.g. pressing the + button in the autumn when
the - button should have been pressed, rectify the problem by pressing
the correct button and then re-setting the clock by one hour as
appropriate. (Refer to SETTING THE CLOCK on the previous page).
TIME OR TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The default display in RUN mode shows the time of day. This may be
changed to display the actual temperature being sensed by pressing
both COPY and NEXT buttons together. Return to time display by
pressing them together again.
THERMOSTAT MODE
The HC75 can be converted to control either heating or cooling, (not
both), at a constant user selected temperature by selecting "Thermostat
mode". To do this, press and hold down both s t buttons until the
display changes to that shown in fig. 6. When entering thermostat
mode the default setting is heating only, with a default temperature of
8°C (46°F), this can be changed as required by pressing either s or
t until the require temperature is displayed.
To control at a constant cooling temperature (heat off), press the 'SEL'
button to select 'COOL', the temperature will be shown as 28°C (82°F)
(fig. 6a) use the s and t buttons to select the required temperature.
When in thermostat mode if "OFF" is selected by means of the
button, both heating and cooling are turned off.
To return to normal programmed operation, press and hold both s and
t.
FROST THERMOSTAT MODE
While in thermostat mode the HC75 may be set to guard against
possible freeze damage in areas where the unit (or its remote sensor)
is installed. The heating control temperature may be set to a suitable
level using the s and t are pressed simultaneously.
HOLIDAY MODE - Heating onl or Cooling onl
While in thermostat mode with either HEAT or COOL selected,
pressing the DAY button will activate the vacation mode. The display
will change to that shown in Fig. 7 or Fig. 7a with a number indicating
the default vacation period of 00 days. Use the + or - buttons to set
the number of days required, in the range 1-99 days. If the number of
days is left at 00 then the unit will return to normal at event 1 the
following day. When the selected number of days have elapsed the
unit will automatically return to normal, controlling temperatures to the
set program.
Control may also be restored to normal before all days have
elapsed by pressing the s and t buttons simultaneously.
USER OVERRIDES

reverts to Auto mode during event 6-1. When in 'Smart' mode, the bar
on the display adjacent to FAN ON will flash.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that high quality alkaline batteries are used.
New batteries will provide the power for switching the outputs on and
off for approximately 2 years. When the batteries volts fall to the
minimum level needed to maintain operation a battery symbol will blink
in the display. When this symbol appears both batteries should be
replaced with high quality alkaline cells. Operation will continue
normally until the 15th midnight after the symbol started blinking and
then the unit will switch off all outputs, and shut down with just the
time and the blinking battery displayed. Whilst the battery symbol is still
blinking, the old batteries may be removed and new batteries placed
in the sleeve provided and inserted within one minute. Internal
circuitry will maintain the user set programme memory during this
period.
