ChannelPlus H27XL Series 2
User Operating Instructions
Two Channel Central Heating and Hot Water Programmer

The ChannelPlus family of electronic programmers offer a range of advanced features
coupled with simplified ‘menu driven’ programming and designed to help save energy.
The Horstmann ChannelPlus H27XL series 2 is designed to give independent time control
over heating and hot water on a 7 day weekly programme.
Each channel offers up to 3 programmed On/Off operations per day
for each day of the week.
For day to day operation each channel has a manual 1 or 2 hour boost button
as well as an advance button to bring forward the next programmed operation.
The back lit display, automatic clock and menu driven programming are all features
designed to make the operation of the ChannelPlus H27XL as simple as possible to use.
All series 2 ChannelPlus programmers are direct replacements for earlier ChannelPlus models.

Display Information
The ChannelPlus H27XL Series 2
programmer has a fully graphical, backlit display. In the normal run mode the
display is divided into two sections, each
section represents a controlled channel.
The information displayed will change
depending upon the settings made and
which mode you are in. During different
programming modes and/or setting
screens the current time, day/date,
holiday indicator will only appear when
necessary, this is to reduce confusion
during the programming process. This is
explained further in later sections of this
guide.

Manual Overrides
BOOST FUNCTION - 1 OR 2 HOUR TEMPORARY OVERRIDE
The boost facility will allow the user to either activate a channel which is currently ‘OFF’ for
either 1 or 2 hours, or to extend a current ‘on’ period by 1 or 2 hours. To indicate the boost
being activated the ‘BOOST’ button under the selected channel will stay illuminated for the
duration of the boost/extension period. The display will also indicate the extension to the
time visually on the screen.

Programme Override Facilities
With the ChannelPlus H27XL Series 2 programmer operating in the normal running mode it
is possible to alter the functionality of the programme on each individual channel.
The options include;
AUTO -

Programmer follows all programmed ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ times.

ALL DAY - Channel operates from 1st ‘ON’ time until 3rd ’OFF’, ignoring all switching
			times in between. Useful for unexpected times of occupation or to
			maintain a constant temperature during an extended period.
ON - 		Channel will be constantly ‘ON’.
OFF 		
		

Channel will be constantly ‘OFF’, there is the ability to turn off heating
during summer without altering the programme times. 1 or 2 hour boost
still available.

All of the settings above will be permanent, i.e. unaffected by programme times, until
alteration by the user.
The diagram below illustrates how to alter the setting, it assumes that the channel is in the
AUTO mode to begin with. As both channels are totally independent it is possible to have
them set differently if necessary*.

Setting the Holiday Mode
The holiday mode can be used to suspend the program function of the ChannelPlus
programmer, it can be set in advance of your departure date and for as long a period as
required. The holiday function operates from mid-day to mid-day, this means it can be
easily set to ensure your home is warm for your return. When the holiday mode has been
set a smiley face
will appear on the display. When the holiday mode is active only the
day/date and smiley face will be displayed.

What is a programmer?
... an explantion for householders.
Programmers allow you to set ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods. Some models switch the central
heating and domestic hot water on and off at the same time; while others allow the
domestic hot water and heating to come on and go off at different times.
Set the ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods to suit your own lifestyle. On some programmers you
must also set whether you want the heating and hot water to run continuously, run under
the chosen ‘On’ and ‘Off’ heating periods, or be permanently off.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in Spring
and Autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.
You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, ‘Override’,
‘Advance’ or ‘Boost’. These are explained in the manufacturer’s instructions.
The heating will not work if the room thermostat has switched the heating off. And, if
you have a hot-water cylinder, the water heating will not work if the cylinder thermostat
detects that the hot water has reached the correct temperature.
