Product Overview

The Multi-zone Programmable

CONNEX™ Controller is a Dim-

plex exclusive, operating four

individual heat zones wirelessly

from one remote location.

CONNEX™ wireless technology

easily synchronizes multiple Lin-

ear Proportional Convectors and

Precision Comfort Heaters to one

controller for precise temperature

control throughout the home. The

easy-to-use touch screen allows

for 7-day/ 4-event programming

that combines with zone heating

for incredible energy savings.

Multi-zone Programmable CON-

NEX™ Controllers link wirelessly

to Dimplex Linear Proportional

Convectors and Precision Com-

fort Heaters to provide simple

whole home control.

Zones

The controller is set up so that the

user can divide their house into

to up to 4 different heating zones.

These can be separate heaters

or a selection of one or more

heaters that will all be set to run

at the same time and temperature

settings.

By dividing the house into zones

you can program the controller to

raise the temperature in par-

ticular rooms during the time you

normally use them and reduce the

temperature when they are not in

use.

By having a wireless controller

the components within a zone

do not have to be located in the

same area of the house, as with

traditional heating systems. The

components in any particular

zone can be spread all through

the house.

For example:

Zone 1 - All of the bedrooms,•

Zone 2 - All of the bathrooms,•

Zone 3 - Kitchen and Living room.•

CAUTION: Zones can be set

up as any combination of the

Dimplex electronic controlled

heaters as long as there is one

heater that is within 15m (50ft) of

the controller and the subsequent

heaters are within 15m (50ft) of

the controller or any other heater.

Events

The controller has been designed

to divide each day into 4 different

time settings for each day– Wake,

Away, Home and Sleep.

• Wake – Initial increase

of heat to desired temperature

use.

6 www.dimplex.com

• Away – A decreased

temperature set point while

the area is not in use.

• Home – An increased

temperature set point for nor-

mal usage.

• Sleep – Reduce tem-

perature set point while you

are sleeping.

!NOTE: When programming

times for temperature events to

take place, adjust the time setting

so that temperature begins to

increase before you will want it to

be, i.e. your kitchen takes 17 min-

utes to increase in temperature

from 18°C to 21°C, set the Home

Event to occur 17 minutes before

you arrive home.

As a default, values have been

programmed for the Wake and

Sleep times and temperatures for

all 4 zones, for all 7 days.

Wake: 21.0°C (70.0°F), 6:00AM

Sleep: 18.0°C (64.0°F), 11:00PM

!NOTE: There are no initial set-

tings for Home and Away events.

To change these values there is a

program function which will guide

you through the adjustment/set

up of the these values for a single

day or group of days, or multiple

Product Overview

zones.

!NOTE: You do not need to

have settings for all events. An

event can be skipped by entering

--:-- for the time entry. (Increase

time to 11:59pm/23:59, the next

number will be --:-- before it con-

tinues to 12:00am/00:00.)

The Multi-zone Controller

can control multiple Dimplex

CONNEXTM heaters outside of the

50 ft (15 m) range by ensuring

that subsequent components in

the system are within 15m (45ft)

of any other component in the
