4. Mode d'emploi
4.1 Mise sous tension initiale
Upon first power-up, the display will illuminate. You may need to set the current time and date. Refer to the on-screen prompts or the following sections.
4.2 Réglage de l'heure et de la date
Use the programming buttons (usually located under a flap or accessible via menu) to navigate to the time/date setting menu. Adjust hours, minutes, day, month, and year as required. Confirm settings to save.
4.3 Programming Modes (24-Hour / 7-Day)
The H17XL supports both 24-hour and 7-day programming. Select your preferred mode via the menu. In 7-day mode, you can set different programs for each day of the week.
4.4 Setting Heating Programs
Each program typically consists of ON/OFF times. You can set multiple ON/OFF periods per day. For example:
- Program 1: ON at 06:00, OFF at 09:00
- Program 2: ON at 17:00, OFF at 22:00
Follow the on-screen instructions to enter and save your desired heating schedule.
4.5 Override Functions: ADVANCE and BOOST
The unit features 'ADVANCE' and 'BOOST' buttons for temporary overrides:
- AVANCE: Pressing this button will advance the current program to the next ON or OFF period. For example, if heating is OFF, pressing ADVANCE will turn it ON until the next scheduled OFF time. If heating is ON, it will turn OFF until the next scheduled ON time.
- BOOSTER: This function provides a temporary period of heating (e.g., 1 hour) regardless of the current program. Pressing BOOST will turn the heating ON for a preset duration, after which it will revert to the programmed schedule.
5. Entretien
The Horstmann CHANNELPLUS H17XL requires minimal maintenance.
- Nettoyage: Essuyez l'appareil avec un chiffon doux et sec. N'utilisez pas de nettoyants abrasifs ni de solvants.
- Batterie de secours: The unit typically has an internal battery for retaining program settings during power outages. This battery is usually non-replaceable by the user and has a long lifespan. If settings are lost frequently during power cuts, consult a qualified technician.
