amazingly my new heatbank has a programmer that doesn;t remember my

does that sound right or have i got a duffer?


Getting fecked off with the reprogramming/not knwoing if it's reset
itself unless checking - what are the reccommendations for a
replacement that remembers!? any to avoid?


Is this an opportunity to soup it up with weather compensation and
other clever stuff perchance?


Currently it's a "Danfoss FP715Si" - 2 channel, pretty flexible but
what's the point if it can't feckin remember it!!


TIA

Looking at the datasheet


http://danfoss-randall.co.uk/PCMPDF/732v02.pdf


reveals the following information:


"Battery backup on power failure"
"Time and all other settings-indefinately"


Hmm, interesting use of the word indefinately. How long is that, 1
year,
10 years or 500,000,000 years?


Maybe the battery isn't fitted correctly or you have a faulty unit


thanks for the link to the pdf :)


cheers
JimK


well so far Danfoss have confirmed that it should retain programming
(as we now know), DPS have yet to reply to my emails


JimK


I am sure that the battery is an internal rechargable one on this model.


You have a faulty internal battery.


Pressure Danfoss into a replacement.

well as DPS supplied the shebang I expect they (contractually) to sort
it out pronto.

Should that not work out, I will get back onto Danfoss who have been
prompt and informative so far.

cheers
JimK


so much for pronto, they've apparently sent me another programmer day
before yesterday by fedex "next day" - whose website now claims
there's an address query - doh! No replies to my emails asking DPS to
check it out - seems to be usual practice down there......

You got your ears on DPS??
