3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Safety Precautions

Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to your HVAC system is turned off at the main circuit breaker. Incorrect wiring can cause damage to the thermostat or your heating system, and may pose an electrical hazard. If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified electrician or HVAC technician.

3.2 Mounting the Thermostat

1. Carefully remove the front cover of the thermostat from its backplate.
2. Position the backplate on the wall at your desired location, typically 1.5 meters (5 feet) above the floor for optimal temperature sensing. Ensure it is compatible with standard electrical boxes (e.g., 503 type).
3. Mark the drilling points through the mounting holes on the backplate.
4. Drill holes and insert wall anchors if necessary.
5. Secure the backplate to the wall using screws.

3.3 Wiring

The Bravo 93003100 operates on 230 Volts AC. Connect the wiring from your HVAC system to the appropriate terminals on the thermostat's backplate. Refer to the wiring diagram provided in the packaging for specific connections. Ensure all connections are secure.

3.4 Battery Installation

This thermostat requires batteries (not included) for operation. Insert the batteries into the designated compartment on the back of the thermostat unit. Ensure correct polarity. Secure the batteries firmly to prevent them from dislodging.

3.5 Attaching the Thermostat Unit

Once wiring and batteries are in place, carefully align the front thermostat unit with the mounted backplate and snap it into position. Restore power to your HVAC system at the main circuit breaker.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Initial Power-On and Time/Date Setting

Upon first power-on or after battery replacement, the thermostat may require you to set the current time and day. Use the navigation buttons (typically Up/Down arrows) and confirmation button (often 'M' or 'OK') to adjust these settings.

4.2 Basic Operation Modes

• Automatic Mode (Scheduled): The thermostat follows the pre-programmed daily and weekly schedules. The display will indicate "Using Schedule".
• Manual Mode (Permanent Override): Allows you to set a constant temperature that overrides all programmed schedules until manually changed again.
• Temporary Manual Mode: Allows you to temporarily adjust the temperature for a set period (e.g., a few hours) before reverting to the programmed schedule.

4.3 Programming Weekly Schedules

The thermostat allows for detailed weekly programming. Typically, you can set multiple temperature periods (e.g., Wake, Leave, Return, Sleep) for each day of the week. Consult the detailed programming section in your physical manual for step-by-step instructions on setting specific times and temperatures for each period.

4.4 Temperature Adjustment

In manual or temporary override modes, use the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the desired temperature. The new set temperature will be displayed.

5. Display Information

The large LCD display provides a clear overview of the thermostat's status and settings. Below is an example of the display and an explanation of its key elements:

• Mon: Indicates the current day of the week (e.g., Monday).
• 0703: Displays the current time (e.g., 7:03 AM).
• Heat Set 22.5: Shows the target temperature the thermostat is programmed or manually set to achieve (e.g., 22.5°C).
• Using Schedule: Indicates that the thermostat is currently operating according to its programmed schedule.
• Room 22.0°C: Displays the current ambient temperature detected by the thermostat (e.g., 22.0°C).
• System: Indicates the overall system status or mode.
• HeatOn: Illuminates when the heating system is actively running to reach the set temperature.
• WAKE: Indicates the current program period (e.g., Wake period).

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

To clean the thermostat, gently wipe the display and casing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the unit.

6.2 Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 3.4.

7. Troubleshooting

• Thermostat not turning on: Check if the power supply to the HVAC system is on. Ensure batteries are correctly installed and not depleted.
• Heating/Cooling system not responding: Verify that the thermostat is in the correct operating mode (e.g., Heat mode if heating is desired). Check wiring connections.
• Inaccurate temperature readings: The thermostat's sensor may take some time to stabilize after installation. If readings consistently appear inaccurate, the thermostat may have a calibration setting (often found in advanced menus) that allows for an offset adjustment (e.g., +/- 4 degrees Celsius). Refer to your specific manual for calibration instructions.
• Programming issues: Ensure the time and day are set correctly. Review your programmed schedules for any conflicts or incorrect settings.
