Setting the Heaters to Turn On: Step 1

There are six ETS units in the house. One in the office, two in the living room, one in the kitchen, one in the front entry, and one in the big bedroom. check all six to make sure they have an inch or two of clearance on all sides. Nothing should be touching them.

Each ETS unit has two dials. The left dial controls the discharge rate. That is, how quickly it gives off heat once it is charged. The right dial controls the desired temperature setting. You may need a quarter to turn the right dial. In conjunction with how long they are actually on, this controls how much heat they output.    Ithaca -- 1/1/2018

Setting the Heaters to Turn On: Step 2

Go out to the control box in the garage.

First thing to do is make sure the clock is correct. It is usually showing what it thinks is the current time (press the Clock button to be sure).

The number on the left is the day of the week. The other four digits are the current time in 24 hour format. Set the time by pressing the Hour and Minute buttons.    Ithaca -- 1/1/2018

Setting the Heaters to Turn On: Step 3

Set the time to turn on.

Press the On button. This will show the time it is set to turn on, or - ---- if no time is set.

Press the "Day" to select "e" for every day. Press hour and minute to set the desired time to turn on the ETS units. For example, "e 0100" would cause the units to turn on at 1am every night.

Note that there are actually 14 possible On settings. If you continue to press "On" you will see more of them. But since they are generally blank, it isn't obvious what you are seeing. If you press "Clock" to return to the current time, then press "On" once, you will see the first setting. If you continue to push "On" you should see blank settings until you have gone through all 14 and returned to the first.    Ithaca -- 1/1/2018

Setting the Heaters to Turn On: Step 4

Set the time to turn off.

Press the Off button. This will show the time it is set to turn off, or - ---- if no time is set. I always leave the Off setting set to something so that if the heaters turn on for any reason, they will turn off once a day.

Press the "Day" to select "e" for every day. Press hour and minute to set the desired time to turn off the ETS units. For example, "e 0500" would cause the units to turn off at 5am every morning.

Note that there are actually 14 possible Off settings. If you continue to press "Off" you will see more of them. But since they are generally blank, it isn't obvious what you are seeing. If you press "Clock" to return to the current time, then press "Off" once, you will see the first setting. If you continue to push "Off" you should see blank settings until you have gone through all 14 and returned to the first.    Ithaca -- 1/1/2018

Setting the Heaters NOT to Turn On

Disable the ETS units

If you don't want the ETS units to turn on the next night, then you need to clear the "On" time. Note that there is never a reason to clear the "Off" time.

Press "On" to see the time the units are set to turn on. Press "Clear" to erase the on time. Subsequent press of "On" should show "- ----" for blank entries. If not, press "Clear" until all the On entries are blank.    Ithaca -- 1/1/2018

Manual Override

You can turn on the heaters at any time by pressing the "Manual Override" button. They will be on until turned off by pressing Manual Override again, or until the next pre-set Off time is encountered.    Ithaca -- 1/1/2018
