2. INSTALLATION
•Before proceeding with the installation, the heating
system design must be considered and the unit
correctly sized to meet the heat loss requirements
of the room.
•Before proceeding with the installation, unpack
the carton contents and check against the
checklist below:
1. OPTIMO 500E ECO unit.
2. Instruction manual.
3. Grille.
4. Screw fixing kit (supplied separate with grille).
•This OPTIMO 500E ECO fan convector is designed
for installation in the cavity beneath kitchen
cupboards in the vacant floor space, or other
similar locations.
•For OPTIMO 500E ECO a minimum of 25mm
clear headroom is required above the top of the
OPTIMO 500E ECO when fitted.
•100mm minimum clearance is required behind the unit
when installed.
•The unit should be mounted on a clean and level floor
area under the cupboard base.
•OPTIMO 500E ECO plinth mounting (see Fig. 1) -
• The unit must be mounted on a suitable support
25mm above the floor.
• The support should be mounted on a clean and
level floor area under the cupboard base, and
securely fitted.
• The top of the support must be level with the lower
edge of the cut-out when fitted.
•Decide the position of the OPTIMO 500E ECO, mark
out and cut the plinth to the dimensions using table
on page 9.
•Position the OPTIMO 500E ECO under the cupboard
in the required location, with the front edge just behind
the line of the plinth.
•Replace the plinth and bring the OPTIMO 500E
ECO forward into the opening so the front edge
projects approximately 10mm through the plinth.
•OPTIMO 500E ECO is fitted with a transit cover to
protect the electric element and to minimise risk
of electric shock prior to the grille being fitted. The
cover must only be removed with the electrical supply
switched off immediately prior to fitting of the grille.
•Align the grille and secure it to the unit with two screws
supplied (use the shorter screws). (See Fig. 2).
•Secure the unit/grille to the plinth with two screws
supplied (use the longer screws). (See Fig. 2).
•Complete the electrical installation, switch on and test
the OPTIMO 500E ECO (see Fig. 3).
•When installed in a kitchen consideration should
be given to storage of perishable goods in the
cupboard above.
•No rear access to the unit shall be available
after installation.
3. ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This OPTIMO 500E ECO is supplied fitted with a 2.0 metre
1.0mm2 cord with grounded plug.
•The electrical installation must comply with local
or national wiring regulations.
•If the supply cord to OPTIMO 500E ECO is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similar qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
•If the battery in the thermostat goes flat the
OPTIMO 500E ECO will not operate, therefore
if the OPTIMO 500E ECO is to be used in a holiday
home where extreme temperature can be expected
it would be recommended to connect the thermostat
to a power source via the mini USB-b socket.

•This unit is controlled by the switches on the front
of the unit (see Fig. 3) and a wireless programmable
thermostat.
•The wireless programmable thermostat includes
many features and also ensures the electric
OPTIMO 500E ECO products comply with the
Commision Regulation (EU) 2015/1188. These features
can be identifi ed on the display of the wireless
programmable thermostat (see Fig. 4).
LOCATING THE WIRELESS
PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT
•The wireless programmable thermostat includes a
fl ip out stand and can be freestanding in a suitable
location. Alternatively it can be wall mounted, fi tting
instructions can be seen in Fig. 5. Wherever the wireless
programmable thermostat is mounted/used it should
be out of direct sunlight, away from draughty areas
and clear of any potential heat sources. For optimum
use the thermostat should be fi tted at a height of 1.5m
from the fl oor (see Fig. 6).
FIRST USE OF THE WIRELESS
PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT
•The OPTIMO 500E ECO unit will only run in ‘Fan
Only’ mode without pairing the remote control unit.
Once paired, the OPTIMO 500E ECO will be able to
operate in ‘Heating’ mode, also.
•To pair the remote to the OPTIMO 500E ECO;
ensure that the OPTIMO 500E ECO unit is
energised and the ‘Heating System’ switch on the
unit is switched to ‘Heating’ mode (red dot).
•Remove the plastic insulator in the battery
compartment to activate the remote control. The
remote will show the software version number briefl y
and then show the ‘Comfort Mode’ factory default
setting of 19°C.

OPTIMO 500E ECO
EN
Note: Leave the remote unit in ‘Comfort Mode’ to
access the menu for pairing.
•Pairing is done by accessing “rF ini” in the ‘Installer
Parameters’menu. To access the Parameters menu,
press and hold the ‘OK’ button for approx. 12 seconds.
•After 3 seconds of pressing the ‘OK’ button, the screen
will display the time, continue to press ‘OK’ for a
further 7-8 seconds until “bl no” is displayed. Release
the ‘OK’ button. Click the (+) arrow to bring up “rF ini”.
•Click ‘OK’ on “rF ini” and it will begin to fl ash while
connecting to the OPTIMO 500E ECO. Once
connected it will automatically redirect you to the
main display.
Note: If no connection is made after approx.. 1min, “rF
ini” will stop fl ashing.
•Once the OPTIMO 500E ECO and remote control
unit have paired you will notice the following changes:
1. The parameters menu has changed to a reduced
OPTIMO 500E ECO only menu as detailed in
section 5.0.
2. The remote default set temperatures change, so for
example in ‘Comfort Mode’ the initial default of
19 °C changes to 21 °C.
Please Note: The room temperature sensor is in
the remote control and handling of the remote control
during the pairing process can increase the sensor
temperature, preventing the OPTIMO 500E ECO
from operating if the standard ‘Comfort’ temperature
is still set at 21°C.
•If the OPTIMO 500E ECO is either switched off
or into ‘Fan Only’ mode, the pairing between with
OPTIMO 500E ECO is temporarily lost. However,
provided that the remote control remains active the
pairing will automatically be re-established if the
OPTIMO 500E ECO is subsequently switched back
into ‘Heating’ mode. Reconnection may take up to
5 minutes.
