Village Hall Heating System Instructions

For all users of the Village Hall

The heating system in the Village Hall is an efficient modern air-source system.

It is very simple to use, in fact the less you change the controls the better.

But please note it warms up GRADUALLY and SILENTLY.   It doesn't behave like a domestic fan heater, which you would hear and feel straight away.

 

The controls are next to the light switches as you enter the hall.  The Daikin control (on the right) sets the target temperature and the Airius control (on the left) operates a fan for circulating the air after it has warmed up.

When you enter the hall, it's possible that the system will already be operating automatically (particularly in cold weather) in order to maintain a minimum temperature.  This would be indicated by a green light on the button on the Daikin control.  If the green light is On, press the button once to turn off the automatic operation and pause for a few seconds.

The controls should now look like the picture above.

To turn the system On for manual operation, press the button top right on the Daikin control.  The green light will come on and the display will be illuminated.  The heater works silently, you won't hear anything.  

The display might now show a temperature of about 25C.  This is the TARGET temperature which the system will heat up to, now that it's On.  25C is a good target temperature for most users.  It sounds high, but bear in mind that the temperature sensors are in the ceiling, which will be warmer than floor level.   

We provide a room thermometer to check the temperature at ground level.  If your own activity has specific temperature needs, we recommend that you bring your own thermometers and put them in different places around the hall, as you might find that the temperature varies a little in different areas.

 

Note that after 2 hours use, the heating system will turn itself off automatically (to safeguard against users forgetting to turn it off).  If you are still using the hall after 2 hours you will find that the Daikin control is unlit, meaning that the heating is now Off.  If needed you can just turn it back on again as before.

 

We recommend that you leave the target temperature at 25C for 20-30 minutes, especially if you are using the hall for the first time.
If you want to change the target temperature, use the outer O ring in the centre of the Daikin control.  Press the top of the ring to increase the target temperature, press the bottom of the ring to reduce it.

There is no need to use any of the other buttons on the Daikin control, please don't touch any of them as doing so might upset our own programming.

 

You can also choose to increase the circulation of the warm air by turning on the Airius control.  Just turn the black knob, the green light will come on and you will hear the fan straight away.  It's usually enough to turn it up to just 1 or 2.  Bear in mind that until the heating has started to take effect, the fan will initially just be circulating cold air.  So it's best to wait 10-20 minutes before turning on the fan.

 

 

On leaving the hall :-

If you have been using the fan, please turn it off on the Airius control.

The Daikin heating control will turn itself off automatically in due course, you don't have to do it manually.
