Overview

The HRXSL wireless controller can control an unlimited number of SL and RX heaters provided they are within range. To do this, the controller must be paired with each heater. The heater will not operate until it has been paired to the controller.

Pairing the heater to the HRXSL
In order to pair your appliance with the controller you must:

Ensure power to the appliance is OFF.
Turn power to the appliance ON.
Within 20 seconds, press and hold the PROG and MODE buttons on the controller until the display shows ‘PAIR’
The heating will switch on. If the heating is set to off, after 4 seconds the heating will turn off.
The appliance is now ready to be used.

Basic operation

The HRXSL also has a STANDBY MODE. To enter/exit this mode, press the standby button. In STANDBY MODE, the heating will not be activated and the display will be blank.

The HRXSL has 4 standard operating modes:
BOOST, MANUAL, FROST PROTECT and AUTO. Each mode can be selected by pressing the MODE button to cycle through the options. The cycle sequence will always start with BOOST mode followed by MANUAL, FROST PROTECTION and AUTO.

The HRXSL also has two special operating modes. These are MANUAL CONTROL MODE and LOCAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODE. These are accessed via setup menu.

To adjust the operating mode/settings of the HRXSL, the display must first be activated. If the controller is in STANDBY MODE, press the power button. The controller will exit standby mode and the display will be activated for 10 seconds. If the controller is not in STANDBY MODE, press any of the TIME, TEMP or MODE buttons once. The display will be activated for 10 seconds.

MODE

Boost mode
The boost feature increases the room temperature for 15 minutes.
To amend the set temperature when in BOOST mode, activate the display and then press TEMP. Next, use the + and – buttons to change the temperature. Once the temperature is set, you can leave the display to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved. After 15 minutes, the HRXSL will return to the previous operating mode. Whilst in boost mode, activate the display and press the PROG button to increase the boost period. The boost period can be increased up to 4 hours. This will reset back to 15 minutes once you exit boost mode.

Manual temperature mode and fan-only control
In MANUAL mode, the heater maintains a chosen set temperature between 15°C and 35°C. To amend the set temperature when in MANUAL mode, activate the display and then press TEMP. Next, use the + and – buttons to change the temperature. Once the temperature is set, you can leave the display to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved.
When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the heating is disabled. When the heating is disabled in manual mode, the fan-only function can be used. Use the PROG button to toggle this on/off. The fan speed can be adjusted in the setup menu. This will only work on select heaters.

Frost protection mode
In FROST PROTECT mode, the heater maintains a chosen set temperature between 4°C and 15°C. To amend the set temperature when in FROST PROTECT mode, activate the display and then press TEMP. Next, use the + and – buttons to change the temperature. Once the temperature is set, you can leave the display to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved.

Auto mode
In this mode, the HRXSL will follow the week’s time/temperature program.
The temperature can be temporarily overridden in AUTO mode by simply activating the display and using the + and – buttons to set the new temperature. The new set temperature will be then maintained until the next program step.
Advance mode can be used to advance to the next program. To do this, press PROG whilst in AUTO mode. To clear advance mode, press PROG. The program currently active is indicated in the top left of the display.
Information on how to set up the program schedule.

Manual control mode
MANUAL control mode allows the heat and fan settings to be selected manually regardless of the room temperature. Refer information on how to access manual control mode.
To operate manual control mode, activate the display and press the PROG button. The fan speed can now be set using the + and – buttons. Press the PROG button again. The heat setting can now be set using the + and – buttons. Manual control mode has 3 fan speeds and 3 heat settings available. Not all products have multiple fan and heat settings. Please refer to the heaters user manual to check how many heat/fan settings it has available. Refer information on how to access manual control mode.

Local temperature control mode
Local temperature control mode is only compatible with certain heaters. Unlike normal temperature control mode, the temperature measured on the controller does not affect the heater output. Instead, the HRXSL simply sends the target temperature to the heater. The heater uses this as the set temperature. It uses a local temperature sensor to measure the room temperature at the heater location itself. When the local temperature reaches the set temperature, the heater will switch off.
Refer information on how to access manual control mode.

Heat symbol
Every time there is a demand for heat, the display will show the heat icon.

Keys locking
Press and hold TIME and TEMP together for 5 seconds. The display will show the symbol. Repeat the step to unlock.

Open Window Detection

Ensuring you don’t waste energy on heating the outside world, the heater is equipped with optional open / closed window detection. The heater recognises sudden drops in temperature when a window or a door is opened and turns the heating off to save energy. When the window is closed, the heater will automatically detect a temperature rise, and switch itself back on. Once enabled in the setup menu, the open window detection is fully automatic and does not require any human intervention to be activated. When open window detection has been triggered, the heat symbol will flash on/off as shown below.

Setting up Open Window Detection
The system has been factory set to default time and temperature values. If necessary, all values can be adjusted. When the heating is on, open window detection sensor will automatically switch the heater off when it detects a fall in temperature of 2°C in less than 10 minutes (this temperature can be changed in menu 8 and time in menu 7). If a temperature rise of 2° C in less than 30 seconds is detected, the heater will switch itself back on (this temperature can be changed in menu A and time in menu 9).

Displaying the time/temperature

The HRXSL can display either the time & day or the room temperature when in one of the 4 standard operating modes.
Press the TIME button to alternate between the two options.
