3.0 Important Health and Safety Information
In normal operation SURFACES OF THE RADIATOR CAN BECOME HOT
AND CONTACT WITH THESE AREAS SHOULD BE AVOIDED. If young
children, the aged, or infirm are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity
of the radiator, we advise that adequate precautions should be taken. We
recommend that a guard be used to ensure that contact with the radiator is
not possible. An LST (Low Surface Temperature ) cover is available to solve
this problem.
The RF controlled radiator is a “class I” IP44 device and it can be installed
in bathrooms zone 2 and 3 provided that no electric control unit can be
touched by people using the bath-tub or the shower. If the radiator is
installed in zone 2 or zone 3 it must be wired into a fused spur located in
the appropriate zone.
The timer radiator is IP20 compliant and can be fitted in Zone 3.
Warning
Both the RF controlled and timer radiators must not come in
direct contact with water. This includes excessive humidity or
using wet hands to operate the controls.

fitted to the wall with the fixing brackets supplied.
Ensure that the mains lead is properly secured to avoid trip hazards.
DO NOT operate the radiator with the mains lead overhanging the radiator.
DO NOT FULLY COVER THE RADIATOR or place material or garments on
it. Do not obstruct the air circulation around the radiator, for example with
curtains or furniture.
Supply Voltage – 230-240VAC 50Hz
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This radiator must be used on an AC supply only, and the voltage marked
on the radiator must correspond with the supply voltage.
Installation must be in accordance with the requirements of the current
edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations 16th Edition.
Supply
This radiator must be plugged into a switched socket or wired into a fused
spur. If wiring into a fused spur remove the plug and dispose of safely. (If
installing in France please ensure the radiator is wired into a fused spur
only.)

4.0 Radiator Installation Instructions
During transit the fluids contained in this radiator may have moved from
important sensing positions.
To ensure reliable operation, the radiator should be carefully stood on one
of its cardboard endcaps, with the control panel facing down, for thirty
minutes prior to installation.
4.1 Positioning
A suitable position for the radiator should be chosen, and the positions of
the mounting brackets marked on the wall, using the dimensions given
below.
For optimum output, the bottom of the radiator should be 150mm from the
floor. Any shelf or substantial projection should be a recommended
minimum of 150mm above the top of the radiator.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
4.1 Fitting
Ensure that the brackets are fitted towards the outside of the hangers on the
radiator. This will prevent any lateral movement when the radiator is
mounted.
To install the radiator at the recommended minimum height, the bottom of
the wall fixing bracket should be approximately 200mm from the floor (see
diagram and table above). To allow for other heights above the floor, note
that the bottom of the fixing bracket is approximately 50mm above the
bottom of the radiator.
For most efficient operation of the radiator, there should be a gap between
the skirting board and the rear panel of the radiator to allow air flow behind
the radiator. If the bottom of the radiator is below the top of the skirting
board, it may be necessary to remove a section of skirting for this purpose.

Place the bracket vertically against the wall at the appropriate height, and
to suit the length of the radiator. Mark the positions of the fixing holes on the
wall.
Insert the plastic grommets (A) onto the brackets (these minimise
expansion and contraction noise.) Pull down the spring loaded part of the
bracket (B), and push it back to locate it in its lower position.
Hook the radiator lugs on to the tops of the brackets. Return the spring
loaded part of the bracket (B) to its original position, thereby securing the
bottom of the radiator in its final position.
Caution
Fix the brackets to the wall using fixings appropriate to the
wall material and the weight of the radiator.
The radiators are supplied with wall brackets and fixings.
These fixings may not be suitable for the type of wall fixing.
Warning
When drilling wall, care must be taken to avoid existing wires
and pipes.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
5.0 Operating Instructions
5.1 Before Switching On
Ensure that the radiator has been installed correctly and that all warnings
and instructions have been read carefully and followed.
5.2 Switching On
When you are certain that you have completed the above, plug in and
switch on at the wall socket. Switch the power ON, check the supply light is
illuminated ORANGE for a short while then either GREEN or RED
depending on the ambient temperature of the room. This light can be seen
on the control panel.
iNote
This instruction manual should be read carefully and retained
by the user. Particular attention must be made to the health
and safety information at the beginning of this manual.
Warning
DO NOT switch off the radiator at the wall socket when the
radiator is warm.
Note
It is strongly recommended that radiators (all models) are run
for ½ hour each month during the summer to ensure that the
pump is fit for winter operation.

5.3 Manual Operation
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to start heating the radiator.
The supply light will show RED when heating up.
As the room thermostat reaches the target temperature the supply light
turns ORANGE. When the ambient air exceeds the desired temperature the
supply light turns GREEN.
The heat demand can be altered using the thermostatic knob. The first time
the radiator is switched on you may hear a slight water rushing noise as the
pump starts, this will only be for a short while, and from then on the radiator
will operate very quietly.
5.4 24 Hour Timer
Setting the Time
The outer dial should be set to the current time. Rotate the dial slowly in a
clockwise direction, until the correct hour is aligned with the arrow printed
on the dial.
The outer dial is printed with
the 24 hour clock:
8:00am = 8 on the dial
8:00pm = 20 on the dial
Do not attempt to rotate the
dial in an anti-clockwise
direction.

6.0 Radio Frequency Control Options (RFC1 and RFC3)
Radio Frequency Controllers (RFC1 and RFC3) are wireless (433MHz)
thermostats giving high precision room temperature control. They are also
a seven day programmer with up to six temperature settings per day. Each
RFC can control any number of radiators.
The temperature control is primarily set by the RFC. To allow the RFC to
control your radiator fully; the thermostat knob must be turned fully
clockwise. This will allow the RFC to run your radiator at full output if the
need arises. You can however choose a lower radiator setting for systems
where multiple radiators are operated by the same RFC by turning the
thermostat knob anti-clockwise.
6.1 Batteries
Your radio frequency controller is supplied with two factory fitted AA size
alkaline batteries, these should last around two years. The low battery
symbol appears when it is time to replace them. If you don’t replace them
for two weeks the symbol will start to flash. You must reset the clock after
changing the batteries, but all other settings are unaffected.
6.2 Connecting your Radiator to your Controller
For radio control to work, you first need to establish a radio connection
between your radiator and your RFC. You may wish to follow this procedure
if you add more radiators.
1. Turn the radiator thermostat knob fully clockwise.
2. Switch the radiator’s mains supply off.
3. Switch the mains on for about 3 seconds then off again for 3 seconds.
4. Switch the mains on and the radiator supply light will flash.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
5. Press the button on the back of the RFC. This will send the connection
signal. The radiator supply light will give a final flash to show that it is
connected.
6. Now that it is connected, you should never have to do this procedure again.
7. If the radiator sees no connection signal for 60 seconds it will return to
normal operation with its connection unaffected.
6.3 Choosing a position in the room.
The RFC should be positioned in a place where its temperature will not be
changed by local events. Avoid:
● Draughty places near windows, doors and vents.
● Places near the radiator or any other heat sources in the room.
● Places in direct sunlight.
● Places where it may get wet.
6.4 Range Test.
Having connected your radiator and chosen a position for the RFC you can
test the wireless connection.
Place or hold your RFC in position. Press BOOST and ADVANCE together
The RFC will transmit a special test
signal every 5 seconds causing the
radiators supply light to flash twice.
In the unlikely event that the radiator
does not respond, check that you have
connected to the radiator. If it still does not work try a different location.
Poor reception can be because :
● The RFC is too far from the radiator.
● There are metal objects (including parts of the building) obstructing
the signal path. Metal objects can also cause reflections that can
interfere with signal strength.
● There are other 433Hz transmissions nearby. This should not be a
problem as all such devices may transmit occasionally and for short
periods of time.
● The range test lasts for 10 minutes or until you press CLEAR.
6.5 Fixing the RFC to the Wall.
Remove the wall plate from the rear of the RFC. Mark wall through the
screw holes (60mm centres). Use the correct type of fitting for the wall and
mount the wall using no. 6 or 8 screws. Clip the RFC onto the wall plate.

6.6 Reverting your Radiator to Manual Control.
If for any reason you want to use your radiator without the RFC, you can
revert to Manual Control.
● If the radiator is on, switch the mains supply off and turn the
thermostat knob to maximum.
● Switch it on for 3 seconds then switch it off again.
● Repeat this process another 5 times.
● The supply light will flash for 50 seconds and your radiator will be
back to manual control.
6.7 Choosing a new ID
Every RFC has an identifying code . When you connect a radiator you are
teaching the radiator to listen for the RFC’s code. If your radiator switches
on and off when it should not, it may be that another RFC in the vicinity has
the same code. This is very unlikely since there are many thousands of
possible codes.
To make the RFC pick a new random code, hold the button on the back of
the controller on for 5 seconds until the display says “rE5 id” , then press
OK to confirm within 5 seconds. If you don’t confirm no action is taken.
After selecting a new ID you must re-connect your radiator(s).
6.8 Frost Protection
If used with the RF controller, the controller can be used to set the radiator
to the frost protection mode. Ensure the thermostat knob is not turned off.
Note
If the radiator does not heat up when the RF controller is on
a low setting, this is normally because the room is warmer
than the temperature selected on the controller, and is not
due to a fault in the radiator. If the room temperature falls
below that selected on the thermostat knob, the radiator will
then warm up to bring the room temperature to the selected
level.
