FAQs
What are the three operating modes of this heater?
The heater offers Basic Mode for simple on/off control, Timer Mode with a customizable run-back timer (5, 15, or 30 minutes), and Temperature Control Mode for precise comfort and setback temperature settings.
Can this heater be controlled remotely?
While the heater itself has integrated controls, it supports external inputs for voltage-free contacts, allowing integration with external timers and Building Management Systems (BMS) for potential remote or scheduled control.
What power sources can this heater use?
The Consort heater is adaptable and can be powered by either standard mains 240V or 12VDC, offering flexibility during installation.
How does the run-back timer work?
The run-back timer allows you to set specific heating periods, such as 5, 15, or 30 minutes. After the selected time elapses, the heating automatically switches off, helping to manage energy usage.
Can this heater prevent my room from freezing?
Yes, the Temperature Control Mode includes a feature to set a minimum room temperature, which acts as a frost protection setting to prevent freezing.
Is installation complicated?
Setup involves standard electrical wiring. While it can be powered by 240V or 12VDC, and supports BMS integration, professional installation is recommended for optimal and safe setup, especially for complex integrations.
What maintenance is required?
Regular maintenance involves cleaning the exterior with a damp cloth and ensuring air vents are clear of dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Heater not turning on
Verify the power supply (240V or 12VDC) is connected correctly and active. Check if the unit is switched on in Basic Mode or if Timer/Temperature modes are set to a heating period. Ensure any external BMS or timer is also active and allowing the unit to operate.
Inconsistent heating or temperature
Ensure the thermostat is correctly set for the desired temperature. Check that the temperature sensor is not obstructed by furniture or curtains. Verify the room is adequately insulated and free from drafts that could affect temperature readings.
Timer function not working as expected
Double-check the timer settings, including the selected heating interval (5, 15, or 30 minutes) and the overall schedule. Ensure the unit is in Timer Mode. If integrated with an external timer or BMS, confirm that the external system is correctly programmed and communicating with the heater.
Indicator lights are not functioning
Check the power supply. If the issue persists after confirming power, there may be an internal fault requiring professional inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires appropriate electrical wiring, potentially by a qualified electrician. Ensure the chosen power source (240V mains or 12VDC) is correctly connected according to the product manual and local regulations. Configure the desired operating mode (Basic, Timer, or Temperature Control) using the integrated controls. For advanced functionality, connect external timers or BMS via the designated voltage-free input terminals.
Compatibility: The heater is designed to work with standard electrical supplies. Its external input feature makes it compatible with most common building timers and Building Management Systems (BMS) that utilize voltage-free contacts.
Care: Regularly clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure air vents are kept clear of dust and debris to maintain efficient operation. Periodically check that the temperature sensors are unobstructed.
