The new Autoterm Mini Control panel
The Mini Control is the successor to the well-known PU5 / Simple Control and brings a new design with a small display and more intuitive menu.
In this QuickFix episode, Fabian explains everything you need to know about the new control panel.
The key points
Operation: 2 buttons + rotary knob. After connecting, "CONNECTED" appears. Use the rotary knob to set the operating level, the right button to start the unit.
Error messages: In the event of problems, the panel displays a comment and an error code – look it up on autoterm.com or in the operating manual.
Operating modes with temperature sensor:
- Temperature mode – maintains the temperature, reduces power or switches off when temperature is exceeded
- Heat + Ventilation – switches to ventilation mode once temperature is reached
- Ventilation
Operating modes without temperature sensor:
- Power modes (constant power / rapid heat-up)
Compatibility
Mini Control supports air and water heaters. Works with the Flow heater in 2 modes: operation from 30 min to 8 h, and a mode for faster reaching of operating temperature.
