Introduction
The EP310 three channels programmable controller is a stylish wired timer that can be used for two central heating zones and also for the hot water. Each output will control one zone, meaning that you can create personalized schedules for each channel.
The EP310 programmable controller will switch ON and OFF your central heating system and/or hot water in your home as needed. It works by controlling the heating boiler according to a series of programmed settings that take effect at different times of the day.
By using the EP310 controller you can manage the commands sent to your boiler, motorized valves used in your system or to your thermostat. You can set the EP310 programmable controller to a 12 or 24 hour format, the Daylight saving Time (DST) being automatically enabled. The program mode is also selectable between a 5-2 (Monday-Friday and Saturday-Sunday) or 24 hour format. For each of the programs you can create three settings per day.
Being a complex programmable controller, the EP310 gives you the possibility to override your programs by using the Boost function. This can be enabled for up to 9 hours.
For the periods when you are away you can use the Holiday function, which will turn off the relay. The Holiday Mode can be set for a period of maximum 31 days.
When connected to a system with a non-programmable (digital) thermostat, it can turn the boiler ON or OFF and control the heating and/or hot water in your system in a programmed manner.
The heating system and the hot water will be controlled with the EP310, meaning that this will send the command of turning the relay on or off when needed, according to the programs created.
The EP310 programmable controller does not detect or adjust the temperature in your house, it is just sending the commands to the boiler, motorized valve or the thermostat to turn ON or OFF the relay, depending on the program settings.
The programs can be set individually for each channel, or, you can program them together if you want your heating and hot water to be controlled in a coordinated manner.

When Daylight saving time is enabled, the clock will automatically change from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to British Summer Time (BST) on the last Sunday in March. The clock will automatically change back to GMT on the last Sunday in October.
Operating Modes
EP310 can operate in 5 different modes, applicable to CH1, CH2, HW or CH+HW. The operations modes are the same for CH and HW and can be set individually, or together. If you want to choose the mode for the CH1(central heating in zone 1), press the 1 Mode key. To control the central heating in zone 2 (CH2) press 2
Mode key. If you want to choose the mode for the HW, press the
Mode Key. EP310 is a complex controller that can control 2 different heating zones and the hot water separately.
Operation Mode | Function |
ON | Continuously on |
ONCE | On for 1 period a day, from Program 1 ON to Program 3 OFF |
AUTO | Automatic program control |
ADV |
When device is in Auto or Once mode, press the MODE button for 3 sec for selecting Advance (ADV). This will move the unit into the next program. When the ADV function ends the device will return to normal program. |
OFF | Continuously off |
For activating the functions described above, press the MODE button. The operating mode is cycled in the below sequence:
ON Mode
Pressing the Mode key once activates the ON Mode. In ON mode, the controller gives the boiler the ON command, so the heating or/and the hot water will run continuously.
Once Mode
Pressing the Mode key twice activates the ONCE Mode. In ONCE mode, the controller gives the boiler the command to run only for one period per day (from program 1 ON to program 3 OFF)
Auto Mode
Pressing the Mode key 3 times activates the AUTO. In AUTO mode, the controller gives the boiler the ON/OFF command depending on your schedule.
OFF Mode
Pressing the Mode key 4 times activates the OFF Mode. In OFF mode, the controller gives the boiler the OFF command, so the heating or the hot water will be turned off.
ADV Mode
Note: In ONCE or AUTO mode, by long pressing the MODE button, the controller will switch automatically to ADV. You can cancel the ADV by long pressing the MODE key. The device will then return to ONCE or AUTO mode. You can’t select ADV by pressing Mode key.
When in Auto mode selecting ADV, the controller will simply toggle the current auto setting (ON or OFF). For example, if the current program is set as:
08:00 ON 09:00 OFF
10:00 ON
11:00 OFF
Selecting ADV between 8:00 and 8:59 will change the output to OFF, from 9:00 onwards back to AUTO (which is also OFF). Selecting ADV between 9:00 and 09:59 will change the output to ON, from 10:00 onwards back to AUTO (which is also ON). If the ADV puts the relay ON then the boost would apply immediately at the next OFF change, if the ADV put the relay OFF then the boost would apply immediately and turn the relay ON.
08:00 OFF 10:00 ON
12:00 OFF
14:00 ON
If ADV occurs at 08:30 and the relay is ON from 08:30 to 12:00. During this period, if at 08:45 +1Hr (Boost) is pressed, the relay will be ON from 08:30 to 12:00. Boost is applied immediately from 08:45 to 09:45. If ADV occurred at 10:30 the relay will be ON from 10:00, OFF from 10:30 (ADV) to 14:00 if no +1Hr Override. During ADV, if at 10:45 +1Hr (Boost) is pressed relay ON again at 10:45 (boost starts), OFF at 11:45 (Boost ends) until ends at 14:00, then ON again at 14:00.
Programming the EP310
2 types of programs can be set:
- 5+2 (Mon to Fri same and Sat, Sun same)
- Different programs for each 24h.
There are 3 different time sets for each day.
5-2 Days Program | Individual Days Program |
Weekdays | 1 Day |
