5. Setup

1. Insert Battery: The device has an integrated button cell battery for backup memory. Ensure it is functional.
2. Connect Sensor: Plug the temperature sensor cable into the designated port on the thermostat.
3. Position Sensor: Place the temperature sensor in the area where you want to measure the temperature. The 3-meter cable allows for flexible positioning, away from the thermostat itself, for more accurate readings. Avoid direct sunlight, drafts, or proximity to heat sources.
4. Plug In Thermostat: Insert the thermostat into a standard 230V wall outlet.
5. Connect Appliance: Plug your heating or cooling appliance (e.g., heater, air conditioner) into the power socket on the front of the thermostat.

6. Operating Modes

The thermostat offers both automatic and manual operating modes, along with an anti-frost function.

6.1. Automatic Mode

In automatic mode, the thermostat follows your programmed weekly schedule to switch the connected appliance on or off, maintaining the desired temperature at specific times.

6.2. Manual Mode

Manual mode allows you to set a constant target temperature that the thermostat will maintain until you switch back to automatic mode or change the setting. This is useful for temporary adjustments.

6.3. Anti-Frost Function

The anti-frost function is a safety feature. If the ambient temperature measured by the sensor drops below 2 °C, the thermostat will automatically activate the connected heating appliance, regardless of the current operating mode or programmed settings, to prevent freezing.

7. Programming

The thermostat allows for individual weekly programming to optimize energy consumption and comfort.

7.1. Setting Time and Day

1. Press the Set button repeatedly until the time or day setting flashes.
2. Use the Up and Down buttons to adjust the value.
3. Press OK to confirm and move to the next setting.

7.2. Weekly Program

You can set up to 6 switching times for Monday to Friday and 2 switching times for Saturday and Sunday. Each switching time includes a target temperature.

1. Press the Set button until the programming mode for the weekly schedule is displayed.
2. Use the Up and Down buttons to select the day group (Mon-Fri or Sat-Sun) and the specific switching period (e.g., P1, P2).
3. Press OK to enter the time setting for that period. Adjust with Up/Down, confirm with OK.
4. Next, set the target temperature for that period. Adjust with Up/Down, confirm with OK.
5. Repeat for all desired switching periods.
6. Exit programming mode by pressing Set until the normal display appears, or wait for automatic exit.

7.3. Timer Function

The timer function allows for two adjustable times to switch devices on and off, independent of the weekly program.

1. Access the timer settings via the Set button.
2. Set the desired ON time and OFF time using the Up/Down and OK buttons.
3. Activate the timer function as needed.

8. Advanced Settings

The thermostat includes advanced settings for fine-tuning its operation, such as hysteresis and temperature calibration.

8.1. Hysteresis (Temperature Difference)

The hysteresis setting (often labeled as A2 in advanced menus) determines the temperature difference around the set point before the appliance switches on or off. For example, if set to 1°C, and the target is 22°C in heating mode, the heater will turn on at 21°C and off at 23°C. The default setting is often 2°C (meaning a 4°C swing), but it can typically be reduced to 1°C (for a 2°C swing) for more precise control.

8.2. Temperature Calibration

If you suspect the temperature sensor is inaccurate, you can calibrate it (often labeled as A5). Compare the thermostat's reading with a known accurate thermometer placed next to the sensor. Adjust the calibration value to match the accurate reading. Be cautious when changing this setting, as incorrect calibration will lead to inaccurate temperature control.

8.3. Heating/Cooling Mode Selection

The device can operate in either heating or cooling mode (often labeled as A8). Ensure the correct mode is selected based on whether you are controlling a heater or an air conditioner. In heating mode, the appliance turns on when the temperature drops below the set point. In cooling mode, it turns on when the temperature rises above the set point.

9. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Sensor Care: Keep the temperature sensor clean and free from dust or debris to ensure accurate readings.
• Battery Replacement: The integrated button cell battery provides backup for settings. If settings are lost during a power outage, the battery may need replacement. Consult a qualified technician for battery replacement.
