Mode Selector Functions
The RXPW4 controller allows control of multiple Dimplex heaters
from a single point. Heaters can be grouped together in “zones”
and each zone configured with a different time program for each
day of the week. Up to 4 zones are available.
Before the controller can be programmed, it is first necessary to set
the current time and day of the week.
1. Turn the mode selector switch to the position.
2. Use the “+” and “-” buttons to cycle through the hours/
days of the week until the correct time/day is set.
3. Press OK to confirm.
Note: Typically 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, etc.
Setting the daily program for each zone
1. Turn the mode selector switch to the PROG position.
2. Use the “+” and “-” buttons to select the zone you wish to
programme (e.g. P=1).
3. Press OK to select.
4. Use the “+” or “-” buttons to set the program for each hour
of day 1 (i.e. Sunday).
5. “+”sets an hour of Comfort (on) and “-” sets an hour of
Background (off). The hours of the day are denoted across
the bottom of the display.
6. Press OK to confirm when the program has been set. The
programme for day 2, etc. can then be set in the same
way..
7. To copy the program from one day to the next, hold down
the OK button for 5 seconds.

AUTO position.

Temporarily over riding the the daily program
When the programmer is in AUTO mode, the current setting for
each zone can be temporarily over ridden (advanced).
1. Press the OK button. The bars above Z1 will flash.
2. To change the status of zone 1 (e.g. from Comfort to Back-
ground), press the “+” or “-” button, followed by OK to
confirm.
3. Alternatively, to change the status of a different zone, press
the OK button until the bars above the required zone flash
and repeat the steps above to change the status.
4. This will temporarily over ride the program until the next
scheduled status change.
