Soft Keys
The Heatmiser features “soft keys” which can be seen down each side of the LCD.
If you have used a cash machine, you will be familiar with soft keys The benefit of
soft keys is that the button text is displayed on the LCD and is constantly changed
as you use the control. This removes the need for dual purpose buttons which can be
confusing.

Navigating the Zones

Pressing the Left and Right arrow keys allows you to scroll through the zones set-up on
your system.

Display Back Light

To assist with programming the system, the backlight is permanently on.

2. Standard Terms
Self Learning Optimisation is a system whereby the Heatmiser control will
automatically calculate the start up time to ensure the building is up to temperature
for the programmed comfort level. It does this by monitoring the internal temperature
readings, so that for example in milder weather conditions heat up times are reduced
– thus saving energy. The Heatmiser only optimises on the 1st switching level of each
day.

Compensation is a system whereby the Heatmiser monitors the internal temperature

according to the preset slope setting in the control. By monitoring the internal and
external temperatures the Heatmiser can calculate the flow temperature needed to
maintain the programmed room temperatures.

Pump Overrun: To help dissipate the heat from the boiler, a pump overrun time can
be set for each zone. When enabled, the pump will run on for a number of minutes
(programmable) after the zone has switched off.

1
Alarm/Override Inputs: The Heatmiser has 10 inputs which can be used as zone
overrides or alarm inputs. When set as an override, the zone will override on/off when
the input is made or broken. The alarm input mode makes the Heatmiser display an
alarm message on screen when the input is made.

Preheat is the number of hours the control can come on before the programmed
switching time (when in optimising mode)

Rate of Change is the time it takes to raise the building 1ºC The factory default for
this setting is 20 minutes but the control will automatically adjust this according to the
fabric of the building.

3. Normal RUN Mode Screen Functions

(Note: These functions are not available on the Boiler Screen)

Override
The Heatmiser has an override function. This allows the user to override the
programmed comfort levels to allow for unscheduled use of the system. This operation
works by allowing the user to set the desired temperature for a number of hours. The
number of hours can be restricted by the engineer during set-up.
