Centrica’s Quantum tariff.
G9 versions onwards do not require a service engineer

How to identify what series
my Quantum heater is
The easiest way to identify your Quantum heater Series is
by checking the model rating plate. This is located on the
top of the unit, directly behind the user interface. See
below example of a model rating plate.

User Interface
Location
The Quantum User Interface (UI) is
located on the Top of the appliance
and is another way of identifying
the different series types

Quantum User Interface
Series identification
If you cannot view your model rating plate, follow the
steps below to find your Quantum heater Series.
If your user interface has the Menu push button at the
top of the three push button section then the Quantum is
Series A to G. This will unfortunately be incompatible/
cannot be upgraded to work with the Centrica Quantum
tariff.
If the Menu Button is in the middle of the three button
section, the Quantum is Series G6 ‘RF’ onwards and
therefore will be able to work with the Centrica Quantum
tariff. However it might/ will require modification
depending on the model. The next slide will indicate how
to tell whether it is definitely a G9 version or a G6, G7,
G8, Series Y or Z.

What else do I need to connect to Centrica
Quantum tariff?
In addition to a Quantum Series G6 onwards you will need the following:
•A smart meter - If you don’t already have a smart meter, British Gas will arrange
to fit one for you.
•A broadband connection with your own wireless router located in your home.
Although we don’t recommend using a communal connection, a suitable robust
communal connection could be used as a last resort.
•A Dimplex Hub that is connected to your wireless router via ethernet cable
•The Dimplex Control APP downloaded and registered to your smartphone

How to connect to Dimplex Control
The first thing you must do is connect the Dimplex Hub to
the internet
1. Download and Install the App: Download and install the Dimplex Control app from
your device's respective app store.
2. Create an Account: Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to create a
Dimplex Control account.
3. Prepare the Hub: Unbox your Hub and follow the install steps in the quick start guide,
which typically includes installing the battery and plugging in the power cable.
4. Add the Hub to the App: Open the Dimplex Control app. Tap the ‘Add Product'
icon located in the top right corner of the screen. The app will prompt you to scan the
QR code found on the rear of the Hub. Tap the 'Scan QR code' button to activate your

it's more than 10 meters in an open plan, but it may be reduced to around 5 meters when
separated by concrete walls).
