- Wall Mounting: Secure the thermostat's backplate to the wall using the provided screws and wall plugs. Ensure it is level.
- Wiring: Connect the electrical wires to the appropriate terminals on the thermostat. This includes the 120-230V power supply, connections for the heating/cooling system, and optional connections for:
- External Sensor Input: For connecting an optional external temperature sensor.
- Multifunction Input: For additional control or monitoring functions.
- RJ9 Connection: For an energy meter, if applicable.
- Attach Thermostat: Carefully attach the front panel of the thermostat to the mounted backplate, ensuring all connections are secure and no wires are pinched.
- Power Restoration: Restore power at the main circuit breaker. The thermostat display should illuminate.
6. Operation
The VIMAR 02955.B thermostat features a touch-screen interface for easy control.
Basic Functions
- Display: The LED display shows current temperature, time, operating mode, and other relevant information.
- Temperature Adjustment: Use the touch controls on the screen to increase or decrease the desired temperature setpoint.
- Mode Selection: Cycle through available operating modes such as Heating, Cooling, Auto, or Off.
Temperature Regulation Modes
The thermostat supports different temperature regulation algorithms:
- ON/OFF Mode (Class I): The system switches completely on or off based on whether the room temperature is below or above the setpoint.
- PID Mode (Class IV): Proportional-Integral-Derivative control provides more precise temperature management by continuously adjusting the output based on the difference between the setpoint and actual temperature, the duration of the error, and the rate of change.
