Installation and Operating Instructions

4 Zone Wall Mounted Pilot Wire Controller Model No. RXPW4

THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE USE

IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

WARNING-This product must be installed by a competent person or electrician in conjunction with the current IEE Wiring Regulations and relevant Building Regulations

•  DO NOT cover or obstruct the air inlet or air outlet vents
•  DO NOT recess the unit in to a wall, as this will cause overheating and potentially be a fire risk
•  DO NOT install the unit in the immediate vicinity of a bathroom or swimming pool

Pilot Wire Connection IMPORTANT

Do NOT connect the pilot wire to earth

Care should be taken with the installation of the pilot wire(s) as when switching to background (setback) they become energised at 240V although only at a current of 1mA. In every case a suitable means of isolation must be provided for the pilot wire and marked to indicate that two sources of supply may be present at the heater.

Where pilot wires are installed separately from the heater final sub-circuit they should be protected, double insulated and carry their own integral earth continuity conductor. Note: Pilot wire installations are appropriate for single phase connection only

General Principle

The RXPW4 controller is compatible with Dimplex DuoHeat, EPX, Monterey, Girona, EVS, RPX and Apollo heaters.

The RXPW4 controller is designed to allow control of multiple Dimplex heaters from a single point.

Each heater contains a mains cable with a fourth black pilot wire which can be connected to heaters in a system in series.

The controller uses the pilot wire to conduct a 240V, low current signal to each heater to change the heater mode (e.g. comfort, background or on, off) Only one programmer is required for up to 20 heaters on the same zone. (See

Fig.1 below)

Installation and Electrical Connection

WARNING - This product must be installed by a competent person or electrician in

The RXPW4 must be wall mounted as follows:

•  Remove single screw from underneath unit Fig.2 (1)
•  Separate base, remove bottom centre screw from base and remove cover to expose electrical connections Fig.3 (1) and Fig.4
•  Install the base with the appropriate screws and fixings for the wall type (not supplied) Fig.2 (2)
•  Connect the two supply wires to the corresponding Neutral (6) and Live (8) terminals in the base and connect pilot wire(s) (1-4) Fig.4
•  Position the unit on the base, first hooking the two recesses in the inside top over the hooks on the base then gently swing the unit down so that the pins engage in the connector Fig.2 (3)
•  Finally, secure with single fixing screw underneath Fig.2 (1) .

Controls

Fig.5

Table Caption: This table lists various symbols and their corresponding functions related to a heating system's controls, ranging from continuous operation modes like comfort and setback to programmed settings, an off state, and a specific configuration option for MBS receivers.

Programming

Setting the time and day

1. Turn the mode selector switch to the position.
2. Press the '+' and '-' buttons to set the day
3. Press and hold the '+' or '-' button to cycle through the time faster.
4. Cycle through the time until the correct number corresponds with the present day (see Table 3) (i.e. If the present day is Tuesday, cycle through the time until the number 3 starts to flash at the top of the screen)
5. Once the present day is found set the time using the '+' and '-' buttons

Setting the daily program

1. Turn the mode selector switch to the 'PROG' position.
2. ' P=1 ' will be displayed. for zone 1 to be programmed. (To program another zone, press the '+' button and 'P=2' will be displayed for zone 2)
3. Press 'OK' and 'P=' will be displayed with the number '1' at the top of the screen to signify the first day.
4. Press the '+' button for one hour of 'comfort' or 'on' and press the '-' button for one hour of 'background' , 'off' 'frost protection' (depending on the configuration chosen).
