4. Setup
4.1 Mounting and Wiring
The thermostat should be mounted on a flat wall surface, approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the floor, away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources that could affect temperature readings. Ensure the main power supply to the heating/cooling system is disconnected before proceeding with wiring.
Connect the thermostat to your boiler or air conditioning unit via cable as per the wiring diagram provided in the full installation guide (typically included with the product packaging). Professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure correct and safe wiring.
4.2 Battery Installation
The IMIT Orion DAY thermostat is powered by two 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries. To install:
- Gently open the battery compartment cover, usually located on the front or back of the device.
- Insert the two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and - terminals match the markings inside the compartment).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely. The display will activate, and the thermostat will be ready for initial setup.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Initial Setup (Time and Date)
Upon first power-up or after battery replacement, you may need to set the current time and date. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual for specific button sequences to adjust these settings. Accurate time and date are crucial for the daily programming function.
5.2 Modes of Operation
The IMIT Orion DAY typically offers the following operating modes, selectable via the mode button:
- Manual Mode: In this mode, the thermostat maintains a constant temperature that you set manually. It will not follow any programmed schedule until you switch back to Automatic mode.
- Automatic Mode: The thermostat operates according to the daily temperature program you have set using the micropushbuttons.
- Antifreeze Mode: This mode maintains a minimum temperature (e.g., 5°C or 41°F) to prevent pipes from freezing during periods of absence or in unheated areas.
5.3 Daily Programming
The thermostat features 24 micropushbuttons, each corresponding to a half-hour segment of the day (from 0 to 23.5 hours). To program your daily schedule:
- Open the front cover to access the programming buttons.
- For each half-hour segment, press the corresponding button in to set the comfort temperature (higher temperature).
- Leave the button out to set the reduced temperature (lower temperature, e.g., for night or when away).
- Once all 24 buttons are set for your desired daily schedule, close the cover.
The thermostat will then follow this program when in Automatic Mode.
5.4 Temperature Adjustment
Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to manually adjust the set temperature. In Automatic Mode, this typically acts as a temporary override until the next programmed temperature change occurs.
5.5 TPI Logic
The IMIT Orion DAY supports TPI (Temperature Proportional Integral) logic, which is an advanced control algorithm (ErP Class IV) designed to optimize energy efficiency by learning the thermal characteristics of your home. It can also operate with traditional ON/OFF logic (ErP Class I).
6. Maintenance
6.1 Battery Replacement
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, it is time to replace the batteries. Promptly replace both 2x 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries to ensure continuous and accurate operation. Always replace both batteries simultaneously to avoid issues.
6.2 Cleaning
Clean the thermostat's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the device's finish or internal components.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Display / Blank Screen: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and charged. Replace both AAA batteries if necessary.
- Incorrect Temperature Reading: Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct heat sources (e.g., sunlight, lamps) or strong drafts (e.g., open windows, air vents) that could affect its sensor.
- Heating/Cooling System Not Activating: Verify all wiring connections are secure. Check the operating mode (ensure it's not in Antifreeze or Manual mode with a low setpoint). Review your programmed schedule. Ensure the main power supply to your heating/cooling system is on.
- Programming Issues: Carefully review the daily programming steps. Ensure all 24 micropushbuttons are set to your desired comfort or reduced temperature levels.
- Thermostat Not Responding: Try removing the batteries for a few minutes and then reinserting them to perform a soft reset. If issues persist, consult a qualified technician.
