FAQs
How do I set a new heating schedule?
Navigate to the programming mode using the buttons on the device. Select the days you wish to program (e.g., weekdays or a specific day) and set the desired on/off times for both heating and hot water. Refer to the user manual for detailed step-by-step instructions specific to your model.
What is the 'Advance Boost' function for?
The 'Advance Boost' function provides an immediate, temporary period of heating and hot water for 1, 2, or 3 hours. It's ideal for situations where you need heat or hot water outside of your regular programmed times, without needing to change your main schedule.
Does this programmer adjust for daylight saving time automatically?
Yes, the Drayton Programmer is designed to automatically adjust for British Summer Time (BST) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) changes, ensuring your schedules remain accurate throughout the year.
Can I control this programmer remotely via an app?
No, this specific Drayton Programmer model does not support remote control via a smartphone app or the internet. It is operated directly from the unit on your wall.
How often should I clean my programmer?
It is recommended to dust the programmer with a soft, dry cloth periodically, perhaps every few months, to keep it free of dust and ensure optimal performance. Ensure the unit is not powered when cleaning.
What is the difference between 5-day and 2-day programming?
5-day programming refers to setting one schedule for Monday to Friday, and 2-day programming refers to setting a different schedule for Saturday and Sunday. This allows you to optimize heating and hot water for your typical weekday and weekend routines.
Troubleshooting
Programmer not turning on
Check the power supply to the programmer. Ensure the fuse in the fused spur is intact. Verify that the programmer is correctly wired according to the installation manual.
Heating or hot water not operating as scheduled
Verify that the correct program is selected and active. Check that the time and date are set accurately. Ensure any 'Advance Boost' functions have finished. Consult the manual to confirm your program settings are correctly entered.
Display is blank or unreadable
Check the power supply. If the unit is powered but the display is off, there may be an internal fault requiring professional attention.
Advance Boost not working
Ensure the programmer is powered on and not in a 'standby' or 'off' mode. Check that the boost duration is correctly selected before activation.
