• Central 'Mouse' Button (3): Used for navigating menus, adjusting values, and confirming selections. Pressing it typically confirms a setting, while rotating it changes values.
• Flip-up Cover: Protects additional programming and function buttons.
• Function Buttons (6-11): These buttons, located under the flip cover, are used for advanced programming, mode selection, and setting specific parameters. Refer to the detailed programming section for their specific functions.

5. Installation

The Vimar 01910 thermostat is designed for quick wall installation, either directly on the wall or over a flush-mounted box.

5.1 Mounting Location

Choose a suitable location on an interior wall, approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the floor. Avoid locations near windows, doors, air vents, or direct heat sources that could interfere with accurate temperature sensing.

5.2 Wiring

The thermostat uses a relay output (5(2) A 250 V) for ON/OFF control. It typically connects to the boiler or air conditioning unit via two wires. The terminals are usually labeled 'NO' (Normally Open) and 'C' (Common) or similar. Consult your heating/cooling system's manual for specific wiring requirements.

1. Carefully detach the front cover from the back plate.
2. Mount the back plate securely to the wall using the provided screws and wall plugs. Ensure it is level.
3. Connect the two control wires from your heating/cooling system to the appropriate terminals on the back plate. Polarity is generally not an issue for simple ON/OFF control.
4. Insert two fresh AA LR6 1.5V batteries into the battery compartment. Observe correct polarity.
5. Reattach the front cover to the back plate, ensuring it clicks securely into place.

6. Initial Setup

After installing the batteries, the thermostat will power on. You will need to set the current time and day.

1. Set Time: Use the central 'mouse' button to adjust the hour and minute. Press the button to confirm each setting.
2. Set Day: After setting the time, proceed to set the current day of the week.
3. Temperature Unit: If applicable, select between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Refer to the on-screen prompts and the detailed programming instructions for specific button presses.

7. Operating Modes

The Vimar 01910 offers different operating modes to suit your needs.

7.1 Programmed Mode

In this mode, the thermostat follows the daily or weekly temperature schedule you have set. This is the primary mode for energy efficiency and comfort.

7.2 Manual Mode

Manual mode allows you to override the programmed schedule and set a constant temperature. This is useful for temporary changes or if you prefer a fixed temperature.

• To activate Manual Mode: Open the flip-up cover and press the button with the 'hand' symbol (if available, or refer to your specific model's button layout). The 'hand' symbol should appear on the display.
• To adjust temperature in Manual Mode: Use the central 'mouse' button to set the desired temperature.
• To exit Manual Mode: Press the 'hand' symbol button again until the programming graph reappears on the display.

7.3 Temporary Override

Some models allow for a temporary temperature override in programmed mode. By rotating the central 'mouse' button, you can temporarily adjust the temperature. The thermostat will revert to the programmed schedule after a set period or at the next program change.

8. Programming the Schedule

The Vimar 01910 allows for detailed daily or weekly programming with multiple temperature levels.

1. Enter Programming Mode: Open the flip-up cover and locate the programming button (often labeled 'P' or similar). Press it to enter programming mode.
2. Select Day: Use the central 'mouse' button to select the day you wish to program (e.g., Monday).
3. Set Time Periods and Temperatures: For each day, you can typically set multiple time periods (e.g., morning, day, evening, night) and assign a specific temperature to each period. The thermostat usually supports 3 distinct temperature levels (e.g., Comfort, Economy, Anti-freeze).
4. Copy Function: The thermostat often includes a 'Copy' function (button 'C' in Figure 4.2) to replicate a day's program to other days of the week, simplifying setup.
5. Exit Programming Mode: Once all desired programs are set, press the programming button again or wait for the thermostat to automatically exit programming mode.

For detailed step-by-step instructions on programming, refer to the specific tutorial videos available on the Vimar website.

9. Battery Replacement

The thermostat is powered by two AA LR6 1.5V batteries. When the battery level is low, a low battery indicator will appear on the display.

1. Carefully detach the front cover from the back plate.
2. Remove the old batteries from the compartment.
3. Insert two new AA LR6 1.5V batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Reattach the front cover.

The thermostat retains its programming settings during battery replacement for a short period, but it is advisable to replace them promptly.

10. Maintenance

The Vimar 01910 thermostat requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Wipe the thermostat's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays.
• Battery Check: Replace batteries annually or when the low battery indicator appears to ensure continuous operation.

11. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Vimar 01910 thermostat, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Display is blank: Check if batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Heating/Cooling system not responding: Ensure the thermostat is in the correct operating mode (e.g., not in 'OFF' mode). Check wiring connections. Verify the heating/cooling system itself is functioning.
• Incorrect temperature reading: Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources.
• Programming issues: Review the programming steps in Section 8 or consult the online tutorials for detailed guidance.

If problems persist, contact Vimar customer support or a qualified technician.
