Optima 300

4. Operating

Optima 300

All Genvex heat pumps of type GE VP/VPC and GE 

Premium for houses and are delivered with Optima 300 

control systems, which have default settings so that the 

unit can be put into operation. The default setting is only 

a basic setting that should be changed to the operating 

wishes and requirements of the house in question and 

will thereby achieve optimal utilisation and operation of 

the device. 

After the device has been started, the control panel 

will be in stand-by and will display one of the screen 

savers (can be changed in the main menu under the 

item ‘display’). Pass your hand over the control panel to 

bring up the symbols on the screen that show the daily 

operating options. 

4.1 Operating and changing data in 

the operating menu 

The display normally shows the screen with symbols for 

daily operations, where the following buttons can be seen 

in connection with daily operation. 

Speed (1)

Use this function to set the fan speed to levels 0-1-2-3-4. 

The button beside the speed symbol changes between 

the 4 speeds. The installation can also be stopped by 

holding down the button for 3-4 seconds.

Extended operation  (2)

Use this function to set the timer to forced operation 

from 0 to 9 hours Use the button next to the symbol for 

extended operation to change from 0 to 9 hours. If the 

timer is set to 0, speeds 3 and 4 will run until the speed is 

changed manually. If the timer is set for between 1 and 9 

hours, speeds 3 and 4 will automatically be linked back to 

speed 2 after the number of hours the symbol was set at.

After-heat  (3)

Use this function to turn on or off the supplementary after-

heat. 
Use the button beside the after-heat symbol to change 

between ON or OFF. If the symbol is set at ON and the 

device is equipped with an after-heat surface, the after-

heat will commence as required. If, on the other hand, the 

symbol is set to OFF, the after-heat will not commence, 

even if it is required.

Temperature (7)

Use this function to set the room temperature. 
Use the button next to the temperature symbol to set 

the required temperature from 10-30°C. The current 

temperature will be displayed at the centre of the screen.

Information (6)

Use this function to get a good overview of the device’s 

current operating condition, e.g. temperature, fan setting, 

relay status/functions, alarm, timer etc. 
Use the button beside the info symbol to read the 

installation’s operating condition (more information can be 

found in the main menu section under the info operation 

item). 

Filter (5)

Use this function to un-set the filter alarm. The button 

beside the filter symbol un-sets the alarm for filter 

change. To un-set the filter alarm, change the filters 

hold down the button with the filter symbol until the 

exclamation mark in the symbol disappears. 

Main menu  (4)

Use this function to enter the main menu and access the 

sub-items date, calendar, user menu, display, information 

menu and service menu. 

Press help to see a guide for the item that is marked. 

Press the exit to return to the previous display screen. 

The setting will not be saved when you press here. Use 

the arrow buttons to navigate in the menus. The two 

arrow buttons will change to plus and minus when you 

change the setting. 

Use the Enter button to proceed through the menus. If a 

menu item has been changed, finish by pressing Enter 

and the change will be saved.
