4.2. Receiver Installation

Each receiver controls one electric radiator. Ensure the main power to the radiator circuit is off before installation.

1. Power Disconnection: Turn off the electricity supply to the electric radiator at the main circuit breaker.
2. Wiring: Connect the receiver to the electric radiator's pilot wire (fil pilote) according to the wiring diagram provided with the receiver. Typically, this involves connecting the phase, neutral, and pilot wire. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure.
3. Mounting: Mount the receiver near the radiator, ensuring it is not obstructed and has good wireless communication with the programmer.
4. Power Restoration: Restore power to the radiator circuit.

4.3. Pairing Programmer and Receivers

Follow the specific pairing instructions provided with your receivers. Generally, this involves putting the receiver into pairing mode (often by pressing a button) and then initiating a pairing sequence on the Deltia 8.36 programmer. Repeat for all six receivers and assign them to the desired zones (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3).

5. Operating Instructions

The Deltia 8.36 programmer features a central selector dial and several buttons for easy operation.

5.1. Basic Display Information

The display shows the current ambient temperature, the active operating mode (e.g., sun icon for Comfort, moon icon for Economy), and programming details.

5.2. Selecting Operating Modes

The Deltia 8.36 offers four main operating modes:

• Comfort Mode (Sun Icon): Maintains the set comfort temperature.
• Economy Mode (Moon Icon): Maintains a reduced temperature, typically a few degrees below comfort, for energy saving.
• Frost Protection Mode (Snowflake Icon): Maintains a minimum temperature (e.g., 7°C) to prevent freezing.
• Off Mode: Turns off heating for the selected zone(s).

Use the central selector or dedicated buttons (refer to your programmer's interface) to cycle through and select the desired mode for each zone.

5.3. Setting Temperature

To adjust the temperature for the currently active mode:

1. Ensure the desired mode (Comfort or Economy) is active.
2. Rotate the central selector dial to increase or decrease the temperature setting. The new temperature will be displayed.
3. The system will automatically save the new setting after a few seconds.

5.4. Programming Schedules (Weekly)

The Deltia 8.36 allows for customizable weekly programming, adjustable in half-hour increments for each of the three independent zones.

1. Access Programming: Press the 'PROG' button (or similar, refer to your device's specific buttons) to enter programming mode.
2. Select Zone: Use the zone selection buttons to choose the zone you wish to program (Zone 1, Zone 2, or Zone 3).
3. Select Day: Navigate through the days of the week using the appropriate buttons.
4. Set Half-Hour Segments: For each half-hour segment of the day, select the desired operating mode (Comfort, Economy, Frost Protection, or Off). Use the central selector or mode buttons to change the mode for the selected segment.
5. Copy/Repeat: Some models allow copying programs from one day to another or across zones to simplify setup.
6. Exit Programming: Press the 'PROG' button again or wait for the system to automatically exit programming mode.

5.5. Temporary Temperature Override

You can temporarily override the programmed temperature for a specific duration.

1. While in normal operating mode, rotate the central selector dial to set a new desired temperature.
2. The display will indicate that a temporary override is active. You may be prompted to set the duration of the override.
3. The system will revert to the programmed schedule once the override duration expires.

5.6. Absence Management

For extended periods away, utilize the absence management feature to save energy. This allows you to set a lower temperature or turn off heating for a defined period, automatically resuming your schedule upon your return.

5.7. Remote Control (Optional)

The Deltia 8.36 can be controlled remotely by adding an interface such as an Aptone 40 or a Deltis telephone transmitter. Refer to the specific instructions for these optional accessories for setup and operation.

6. Maintenance

The Deltia 8.36 system requires minimal maintenance to ensure reliable operation.

• Cleaning: Wipe the programmer and receivers with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: The programmer is powered by two LR03 (AAA) alkaline batteries. Replace them when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
• Firmware Updates: Check the Delta Dore website periodically for any available firmware updates for your model.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Deltia 8.36 system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Display/Unit Not Responding: Check if the batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Radiator Not Heating/Cooling:
  • Ensure the receiver is properly connected and powered.
  • Verify that the programmer and receiver are paired. If not, re-initiate the pairing process.
  • Check the selected operating mode and temperature setting on the programmer.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions or excessive distances between the programmer and receiver that could interfere with wireless communication.
• Incorrect Temperature Reading: Ensure the programmer is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources that could affect its internal temperature sensor.
• Programming Issues: Double-check your programmed schedules for each zone and day. Ensure you have saved your settings correctly.
• Remote Control Not Working (if applicable): Verify the remote interface (e.g., Aptone 40) is correctly installed and configured according to its own manual.
