Operating Instructions
The PX ECO2S heater can be operated using the controls on the unit or the included remote control. The ECO2S Remote Temperature Sensor should be placed in the desired heating area, away from drafts or direct heat sources, for optimal temperature sensing.
Using the Remote Control:
- Power On/Off: Press the "Start/Stop" button to turn the heater on or off.
- Adjust Temperature: Use the "Up" and "Down" arrow buttons to set the desired temperature. The display on the heater will show the set temperature.
- Select Mode: Press the "Mode" button to cycle through available operating modes (e.g., 2-stage heating, fan-only, timer mode).
2-Stage Heating Operation:
The ECO2S system automatically selects the appropriate wattage (high or low) to efficiently heat your space. When the room is cold, it uses full power to quickly reach the set temperature. Once the desired temperature is achieved, it reduces wattage to maintain comfort and save energy.
Timer Mode:
The heater features a timer mode, allowing you to set it to run for a specific duration. Consult the detailed instructions in the full manual for setting the timer function.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your heater. Always disconnect power at the main service panel before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Air Intake/Exhaust: Ensure that the air intake and exhaust grilles are free from dust, lint, and other obstructions. A vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment can be used to gently clean these areas.
- Internal Components: Internal cleaning should only be performed by a qualified service technician.
Troubleshooting
If your heater is not operating correctly, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heater does not turn on. | No power, tripped circuit breaker, incorrect thermostat setting. | Check circuit breaker. Ensure power is supplied to the unit. Verify thermostat is set above room temperature. |
| Heater runs but no heat. | Fan-only mode selected, element issue. | Check if the heater is in fan-only mode and switch to a heating mode. If problem persists, contact a qualified technician. |
