1.0 General Information
G This MYSON SLIM-LINE RC fan convector is designed for wall
mounted installation with a minimum installation height of
150mm to the underside of the unit.
programmed into the unit and the fan speed is automatically
adjusted until the desired room temperature is achieved. In
manual mode any of the 3 available fan speeds can be
selected without automatic room temperature control. This
feature can be used to circulate ambient air in summer,
for example, or to provide manual control of heating
performance.
G The SLIM-LINE RC should only be used on closed
circulation, two pipe, pump assisted central heating systems.
G The SLIM-LINE RC can be used on heat pump systems.
G The minimum side clearance is 100mm.
G The maximum ceiling height is 3m.
G The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
G Before proceeding with the installation, the heating system
design must be considered and the unit correctly sized to
meet the heat loss requirements of the room at normal fan
speed.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
G This unit is supplied with an infra red remote control system
and can be operated in either automatic or manual mode.
In automatic mode the desired room temperature is
This unit MUST NOT be installed in a bathroom or other similar high humidity area.
2.0 Heating System Design
This fan convector must be fitted on a two pipe, pumped
circulation heating system.
4. The system water must be above 43°C for heating mode.
5. For heat pump applications - see Commissioning Procedure
For optimum fan convector heating performance the system
must be capable of providing sufficient hot water through the
heat exchanger. This means that:
6. This unit is NOT suitable for one-pipe systems.
7. Optimum performance will require effective balancing of
the whole system.
1. The minimum pipe size from boiler to fan convector must be
15mm.
8. This unit must not be used to replace a radiator in an
existing system unless an adequate flow of water through
the unit can be guaranteed.
2. This unit is not suitable for use on microbore pipe-work.
3. Where the unit is fitted on to a system with other emitters a
separate circuit for the fan convector should be considered
to provide adequate water flow.
3.0 Unit Selection/Sizing
Heat output performance is given in the Technical Data section
of this manual. Outputs are shown for the three fan speeds,
however, it is important to size the unit to match the calculated
heat loss requirements of the room with the unit operating on
the low fan speed. The higher fan speeds are used in automatic
mode when the room temperature is significantly lower than the
preset temperature.
When establishing the temperature difference, ie mean water to
room temperature, allowance should be made for temperature
drop in the system. It is the water temperature of the unit which
dictates the output.
4.0 Location
G This SLIM-LINE RC unit may be fitted to any convenient wall
at a height from floor level that suits the application,
providing an unimpeded flow of warm air into the area to be
heated.
G The unit should be mounted on a flat wall, and stud or
partition walls should be avoided to minimise the possibility
of noise transmission.
G The minimum distance from the underside of the unit to floor
level is 150mm.

Note: To ensure effective venting of the heat exchanger the flow
pipe should be connected to the bottom connection of the heat
exchanger.
G Open valves fully, check pipe connections for leaks and vent
the heat exchanger - see Commissioning Procedure.
Note: For SLIM-LINE RC installations pipe-work must not be
routed directly underneath the unit as this will adversely affect
the operation of the integral room thermostat. If this cannot be
avoided, the pipe-work must be boxed to prevent heat rise.

Displayed Temperature Calibration
Depending on the location of the unit there may be a difference
between the temperature at the unit and the temperature in the
middle of the room being heated.
G Check the operation of the unit in automatic and manual
modes by following the operating instructions.
The displayed temperature calibration function enables
calibration in heating mode of the displayed temperature to the
actual room temperature using the following procedure:
G When installation and commissioning are complete, hand over
instruction manual to end-user.
G Press the ‘On/Off’ key and ‘+’ key for 5 seconds (the display
will flash, alternating between ‘ro’ and the calibration
temperature.

11.0 Operating Instructions
Description
In manual mode the automatic temperature control is
overridden and any of the three fan speeds can be operated
inrespective of the water temperature in the unit. This means
that air circulation can be provided in summer for example, or
that heating performance can be controlled manually.
This SLIM-LINE RC unit is fitted with a control system that
provides either automatic or manual control of the unit. In
automatic mode the desired temperature set point is selected
and the unit will adjust the fan speed according to the difference
between the actual room temperature and the set point. When
the room temperature reaches the set point the fan will switch
off and thereafter will continue to cycle on and off to maintain
the room temperature. The temperature set point range is 15 - 35°C.
The unit can be controlled using the infra red remote control
handset supplied with the unit (see fig. 4) and also using
the control panel on the unit (see fig. 5). If necessary, however,
the control panel can be locked electronically to prevent
tampering once the controls have been set (see over).

to prevent interference once the controls have been set. After
setting the unit to the desired temperature setting and with the
unit in running mode, press the On/Off button on the main unit
for about 6 seconds until the two middle horizontal bars appear
on the display. The horizontal bars will disappear after about 6
seconds and the unit is in key lock mode.
Ambient temperature
If any of the unit controls are pressed the horizontal bars will
reappear to show the key lock mode is activated, however,
during this mode the handset controls remain functional.
The ambient temperature is always displayed unless the water
temperature falls below 43°C*, or if the set point is being
adjusted.
To unlock the system press the On/Off button for about 6

12.0 Troubleshooting
Once installed this fan convector becomes part of a complete
heating system that will generally include a boiler, pump, other
emitters such as radiators and fan convectors, and a number of
heating controls, dependent on system complexity. An apparent
problem with this unit may be the result of system controls being
incorrectly set and can be solved easily without calling out your
installer or MYSON Service. Before calling your installer or
MYSON Service, please carry out the checks listed opposite.
Note: If you call out MYSON Service to a fault detailed opposite,
or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use, a call out charge will
be made.
