Central Heating Controller

Helpful Notes

The central heating controller is now set for all our normal activity.
It should only need to be changed for deviations to the norm.

The base temp is set at 10c. So adjust up the temp on the start slot to say 20c.
Build in at least 1 hour to warm up, 2 hours in bad weather and cut off 1 hour before the end time. It takes about 1 hour to notice the effect of turn off.

Optimum

Uses of function called "Optimum Start". This is activated.
What it means is that the start time is the time when you want the temperature to be reached. The controller works out when it needs to switch on to achieve the temperature. Good when mild or extremely cold but given the size of the space it is not very effective at acheiving target and needs additional time before the start point.

Programming

It has 7 day control with 6 temperature settings per day organised in pairs of on/off.

1. an example for Sunday with morning sevice, afternoon Messy Church and and evening concert could be

Re-Binding Thermostat / Controller with Wireless Relay Box

Thermostat / Controller - Located near pulpit

Wireless Relay Box

Located at the back of church near the hatch at floor level

Due to its precarious position:-

Ensure that nothing blocks* the signal between the Thermostat/Controller and the Wireless Relay Box

* like metal boxes or oak tables

We now have a contactless payment terminal and moving forward with the times to make it easier for people to donate to church if they do not have cash in their pocket. This system does not replace the present envelope or standing order system which, you may have set up. The Sumup contactless terminal allows the church to take donations contact less or by card or by Apple or Android Pay.
Gift Aid is still possible, just complete the blue envelope as usual (to claim back the tax) and indicate donation by card.
Also we can take donations via our website which has a Donate to Church link to take card donations. You will also see QR codes appearing in documents such as the Village Newsletter, the Weekly Service Sheet and on posters. This enables a smart phone to scan the QR code which then takes the user to Christ Church's donation web page at SumUp. Entering the donation amount and card details will enable the donator to donate without any assistance or payment machine. We are all feeling the financial pinch but please consider a donation to keep our doors open. Thank you in anticipation.

Helpful Notes

1.) Setup to use a direct 4G connection (as we have a good signal and the connection through our internet connection was poor).
2.) WIFI has been switched off not needed for every day use (saves battery). Also told device to forget WiFi connection (seems to want to revert to WiFi when it restarts).
3.) Reduced the contrast to improve battery life.
4.) Setup fixed menu buttons with "£5 Donation" or "£10 Donation" or "£15 Donation" or "£20 Donation".
5.) If device asks for password it means it is not connected to the Internet - Solution ReBoot.
6.) May get blocked by the need for update to software. Solution - Click on Update, leave and allow 10mins whilst the update downloads and auto updates. Should go back to payment page when complete.
