How Program Mode Works (Ducted Gas Heating)
Each day is divided into four fixed time periods:
| Time Period | Intended Use (example only) |
|---|---|
| Wake | System turns on before you get up |
| Away | System turns off or reduces heating while house is empty |
| Home | System turns on before you return |
| Sleep | System turns off or reduces temperature overnight |
⚠️ These labels are fixed. You can only change:
- Start time
- ON / OFF status
- Set temperature
How to Set Up Program Mode
Step 1 – Enter Program Mode
- Press PROGRAM on the controller
- Select EDIT to begin programming
Step 2 – Select the Day(s)
- Choose a single day or multiple days to edit
- You can apply the same schedule across multiple days
Step 3 – Set Each Time Period
For each of the four time periods:
- Select the time period (Wake / Away / Home / Sleep)
- Set the start time
- Select:
- ON (heater runs to set temperature), or
- OFF (heater will not run)
- Set the required temperature
- Save changes
Repeat this process for all four time periods
Step 4 – Save Program
- Confirm all settings
- Exit back to the Program screen
The schedule is now stored in the controller
How to Run the Program
To ensure the heater follows the schedule:
- Set controller to PROGRAM mode
- Ensure the system is ON
✅ If Program Mode is not selected, the schedule will not operate
Temporary Changes (Override Function)
- You can temporarily change the temperature during a programmed period
- The controller will return to the programmed schedule at the next time period
✔ This does not permanently change the program
Key Limitations (Important for Customers)
- Program mode always uses 4 predefined time periods per day
- You cannot add extra time periods
- You cannot rename the time periods
- Settings apply only when PROGRAM mode is active
(All behaviour above is consistent with controller operation shown in the manual and video)

✅ Summary
