3.2 Mounting

1. Turn off the main power supply to the heating system.
2. Remove the front panel of the thermostat.
3. Connect the wires according to the wiring diagram (Figure 3).
4. Mount the thermostat base into a standard wall box using the provided screws.
5. Reattach the front panel to the thermostat base.
6. Restore power to the heating system.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Digital Screen Overview

The thermostat features an LCD touch screen for easy interaction. Understanding the display icons is essential for operation.

4.2 Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: Press the power icon (U) to turn the thermostat on or off.
• Temperature Adjustment: Use the Up (^) and Down (v) arrows to adjust the set temperature. The temperature range is 5°C to 35°C.
• Mode Selection: Press the Mode (M) button to switch between manual mode and programmable mode.
• ECO Mode: Briefly tap the ECO key (leaf icon) to set the temperature directly to 18°C for energy saving.

4.3 Weekly Programming

The thermostat supports 5+1+1 (weekday + Saturday + Sunday) programmable periods, allowing you to customize heating schedules for maximum comfort and energy savings.

1. In programmable mode, press and hold the Mode (M) button to enter programming settings.
2. Use the Up (^) and Down (v) arrows to adjust the time and temperature for each period.
3. The six periods for each day must be set in chronological order (e.g., 0:00 to 23:59). The last period must end before 23:59.
4. Press the Mode (M) button again to confirm settings and move to the next period or day.

4.4 App Control (Tuya Smart)

Control your thermostat remotely using the Tuya Smart app on your smartphone.

1. Download the "Tuya Smart" app from your device's app store.
2. Register or log in to your account.
3. Ensure your thermostat is in pairing mode (refer to the app for specific instructions, usually involves holding a button on the thermostat).
4. In the app, add a new device and follow the on-screen prompts to connect your thermostat via Wi-Fi. Bluetooth can assist with quick pairing.
5. Once connected, you can change the room temperature, adjust schedules, and monitor the thermostat's status from anywhere.

5. Advanced Settings

Access advanced settings for calibration and specific configurations. This usually involves a combination of button presses (e.g., holding Mode and Down for 3-5 seconds when powered off, then pressing Mode to cycle through settings).

• Temperature Calibration (ADJ): If the displayed room temperature differs from an accurate thermometer, you can adjust the calibration in advanced settings.
• Hysteresis (DFI): The temperature hysteresis (or differential) determines the temperature swing before the heating turns on or off. For example, if set to 0.5°C and target is 20°C, heating may start at 19.5°C and stop at 20.5°C.
• Child Lock: Activate child lock to prevent unauthorized changes to settings.
• Frost Protection: This feature maintains a minimum temperature to prevent pipes from freezing.
• High-Temperature Protection: Prevents the floor from overheating by limiting the maximum floor temperature.

6. Maintenance

The Beok TR9HB-WIFI-EP thermostat requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Wipe the screen and body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Power Memory: The thermostat retains its settings even after a power outage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Thermostat not heating to set temperature (e.g., set to 20°C, heats to 18.5°C): Adjust the "DFI" (hysteresis) setting in advanced settings to 0.5°C. This means heating will start at 19.5°C and stop at 20.5°C for a 20°C target.
• Programming not working / Always in night mode: Ensure that all six periods for each day are set in chronological order (0:00 to 23:59). The last defined period must end before 23:59.
• Ambient temperature displayed is inaccurate: Adjust the "ADJ" (temperature calibration) setting in advanced settings to match the actual room temperature measured by another reliable thermometer.
• Wi-Fi connection issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Restart your router and the thermostat. Follow the app's pairing instructions carefully.
• No display/No power: Check the circuit breaker and ensure the thermostat is correctly wired and receiving power.
