The amount of heat stored in the brick core can be regulated automatically through the use of sensors or internal calculations, or it can be controlled manually by the user. The heater is factory preset for automatic charge control regulation using an outdoor sensor provided by a power line carrier transmitter.
With automatic charge control, the brick core charge level is regulated automatically in relation to outdoor temperature and/or the heating requirements managed by the unit. An optional outdoor sensor or power line carrier (PLC) system is required. The outdoor sensor or PLC system monitors outdoor temperature and provides this information to the heater. The heater responds by storing heat in the brick core accordingly. No user interface is required to adjust the brick core charge level. More information can be found in the Configuration Menu, especially C000, C001, and C002.
If manual charge control is being used, the brick core charge level must be regulated by the user. During the heating season, the user needs to periodically adjust the brick core charge level setting in relation to outdoor temperature and the heating requirements of the area. To configure the heater for manual charge control, refer to the Configuration Menu - Manual Charge Control.
