INTRODUCTION
Checking a heat pump via texting
A ControlBox24/7 can be used for remote control of a heat pump using text messages. You can combine and choose between heating, cooling and
other temperature settings and fan speeds. ControlBox24/7 also provides the possibility of programming your own IR signals for other heat pump
brands. Simple, selectable commands allow you to quickly change mode and temperature, even for non-Electrolux heat pumps.
AirCare - Generate complete text messages via an app
If you have a smartphone, you can also use an app which generates a text message for you, and sends it to your ControlBox24/7. The apps can be
downloaded from App Store for iPhone and Google Play for Android under the name ‘AirCare’.
Monitoring
ControlBox24/7 also facilitates monitoring temperature and power outages. A text message will be sent to recipients of your choice if the
temperature drops below a set value, or in the event of a power outage.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
• Do not let persons, children included, with reduced physical sensory, reduced mental functions or lack of experience and knowledge use the
appliance. They must have supervision or instruction for the operation of the appliance by a person who is responsible for their safety.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
• The unit is powered by the voltage adapter supplied (230V AC / 12V DC 1A)
• Rechargeable backup battery:
If the unit is deactivated by a power outage, the integrated battery will power it for up to 12 hours. The battery will be recharged as long as the
external power supply is connected. A full battery charge takes approx. 48 hours.
• If the external power supply is disconnected for more than 15 seconds, the power indicator light will go out, and 15 minutes later, a text
message stating “AC Power - FAIL, (15 minutes ago)” will be sent.
• When the external power supply is reconnected, the power indicator light will come on, and 15 minutes later, a text message stating “AC Power
- RESTORED, (15 minutes ago)” will be sent.
• If the battery is low, the battery indicator light will start to flash when 20% of battery capacity remains. 3 minutes after the light starts to flash, the
following text message will be sent: “Battery - LOW”.
• When the external power supply has been restored for more than 15 seconds, the battery indicator light will come on again. The battery will be
fully charged again after charging for approx. 48 hours.

GETTING STARTED
Choice of mobile operator
When choosing a mobile operator for the SIM card in your ControlBox24/7, always consider the following:
• ControlBox24/7 works best with GSM/2G, which means that operators which only provide 3G WILL NOT work with the unit.
• Choose the operator with the best GSM cover in the area where you intend to locate your ControlBox24/7.
• If using a prepaid card, remember that most SIM cards will deactivate unless they are regularly topped up. Check with your mobile operator.
Fitting the SIM card
1. Open the SIM card cover on the back of the unit. Set the battery
switch to “OFF” and disconnect the external power supply.
2. Open the slide in which the SIM card will be inserted by carefully
pressing it from the battery switch, raising the slide and inserting
the SIM card with the bevelled corner closest to the battery switch
when the slide is pressed down.
3. Lower the slide and press it carefully sideways towards the battery
switch until you hear a slight “click”.
4. Connect the external power supply and then switch the battery
switch to the “ON” position. Screw the SIM card cover back into
place.
Important!:
For the ControlBox24/7 to work, the PIN code request must be
deactivated on the SIM card before inserting it in the unit!

PROGRAMMING
Formatting programming strings
All commands to the unit must be given in capital letters. It is therefore important that you use CAPITALS when sending commands to the unit.
Formulate commands to the unit as follows:
<COMMAND> + <space> + <VALUE>
Examples of all commands are given later in this manual.
The unit will always acknowledge a successful command with “Confirmed: <STATED COMMAND STRING>” so that you know that the
command has been correctly given and executed.
If an incorrect command is sent to the unit, it will automatically forward the message to the primary reporting number (TEL1) with the following prefix:
“Unknown command”.
Enter reporting number
To enable the unit to know which status reports to send, one or more numbers must be entered. Up to 5 different numbers can be entered for
receiving status reports.
To save a number as the unit’s primary reporting number (TEL1) send the following text message to ControlBox24/7;
TEL1 <NUMBER> Example: TEL1 070765874
To enter more report recipients, replace TEL1 with TEL2, TEL3, TEL4 or TEL5.
To delete a registered report number, replace the telephone number with DEL as follows:
TELx DEL Example: TEL2 DEL
The primary reporting number TEL1 differs from the others as follows: if an unknown or incorrect
command is sent to the unit, it will be automatically forwarded to the number saved as TEL1.
TIP!
If you send TEL? to ControlBox24/7,
you will receive a list of all telephone
numbers stored in return.

PROGRAMMING
Temperature warning
The unit will automatically report if the temperature will exceed the set value. The default setting for low temperature alarm is +5°C and for high
temperature 30°. These values can be changed to between 0°C and +50°C. To change a set value, send the following text message to the unit:
Request current temperature
To see what the current temperature is where your ControlBox24/7 is located, send the following text message to the unit:
TEMP
LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM
LTWARN <NUMBER> Example: LTWARN 12
The example above will cause the unit to send a warning report when the
temperature falls below 12°C, as
“Temperature - LOW”.
If the temperature then increases again and reaches the set value,
another message will be sent saying:
“Temperature - RESTORED”
The unit’s temperature warning function can be easily activated or
deactivated using the following command:
Activation: LTWON (default setting)
Deactivation: LTWOFF
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM
HTWARN <NUMBER> Example: HTWARN 27
The example above will cause the unit to send a warning report when the
temperature exceeds 27°C as
“Temperature - HIGH”.
If the temperature then decreases again and reaches the set value,
another message will be sent saying:
“Temperature - RESTORED”
The unit’s temperate warning function can be easily activated or
deactivated using the following command:
Activation: HTWON
Deactivation: HTWOFF (default setting)

PROGRAMMING
Entering heat pump model
ControlBox24/7 is designed to suit several models of heat pumps, and therefore has to know which model you have. To make this setting, you need
to know which model of heat pump you have. If your heat pump is not an Electrolux model, you can select the programmable mode, and enter up
to 10 different IR signals.
The following 3 modes can be set:
EHEAT - Electrolux Model: Eco Heat. (default setting)
ECOOL - Electrolux Model: Eco Cool.
CHEAT - Electrolux Model: Comfort Heat.
CCOOL - Electrolux Model: Comfort Cool.
HXHEAT - Electrolux older heat pump ranges.
PM - Programmable setting, 10 fixed commands can be entered.
To enter the heat pump to be used, send the following text message to the unit.
TYPE <MODE> Example: TYPE HXHEAT
Once you have made this setting, the unit is ready to be used. See “Remote control your heat pump”.
NOTE! If you have selected the “PM” mode, the IR command has to be programmed in before the unit can control your heat pump. See
“Programmable mode”
