3.4. Heating and Cooling Modes
The thermostat is versatile and can be used for both heating and cooling systems, adapting to various domestic climate control setups.
3.5. Keyboard Lock and Administrator Function
For installations in public places or to prevent unauthorized changes, the thermostat includes a password-protected "keyboard lock" function. Additionally, the "local lock" (administrator function) allows device control exclusively through the app, disabling direct adjustments from the thermostat's keyboard.
3.6. Anti-freeze Function
When the thermostat is turned off for extended periods, it maintains a minimum temperature (anti-freeze temperature) to prevent freezing of the system and premises. This temperature is factory-set to 6°C but can be modified via advanced programming settings.
4. Maintenance
Regularly check the battery level. Replace the 4 x 1.5V AA batteries with new alkaline batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure continuous operation and Wi-Fi connectivity.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during Wi-Fi configuration or device operation, refer to the following common error codes:
- Err 1 and Err 4: Generic errors. Force close the app and retry the configuration procedure, ensuring correct Wi-Fi password entry and router settings.
- Err 2: Wi-Fi network password error. Re-enter the password carefully, avoiding extra spaces or special characters.
- Err 3: Wi-Fi network name error. Force close the app and retry the configuration, ensuring the correct network name is selected.
