Betriebsarten
The ITC-C216T thermostat supports three main control modes: Temperature Mode, Cycle Time Mode, and Countdown Mode. Please note that Temperature Mode and Timing functions cannot be used simultaneously.
1. Temperaturmodus

Bild: Visual representation of the thermostat's cooling and heating functions.
In Temperature Mode, the thermostat automatically controls your connected device (heater or cooler) to maintain a desired temperature range. The device will operate in heating or cooling mode based on your set START and STOP temperatures.
- Drücken Sie die MODUS button repeatedly until the display shows the temperature mode (usually indicated by a thermometer icon).
- Drücken SATZ to enter setting mode. The START temperature will flash. Use the UP Und RUNTER buttons to adjust the desired START temperature.
- Drücken SATZ again to confirm and move to the STOP temperature. Adjust the STOP temperature using UP Und RUNTER.
- Drücken SATZ one more time to save the settings and exit.
- If START temperature is lower than STOP temperature, the thermostat operates in Heizbetrieb.
- If START temperature is higher than STOP temperature, the thermostat operates in Kühlbetrieb.
2. Cycle Time Mode (P01)

This mode allows you to set a repeating ON/OFF cycle for your connected device. The time range is 0 to 99 hours and 59 minutes.
- Drücken MODUS until P01 is displayed.
- Drücken SATZ. The ON time will flash. Adjust using UP/RUNTER.
- Drücken SATZ. The OFF time will flash. Adjust using UP/RUNTER.
- Drücken SATZ to save and exit. The device will now cycle ON and OFF according to your settings.
3. Countdown Mode (P02, P03, P04)
The Countdown Mode offers three sub-modes for specific timed operations:
- P02: Countdown ON

Bild: Diagram explaining the Countdown ON Mode (P02).
The device will turn ON after the set countdown period. - P03: Countdown OFF

Bild: Diagram explaining the Countdown OFF Mode (P03).
The device will turn OFF after the set countdown period. - P04: Countdown ON & OFF

Bild: Diagram explaining the Countdown ON&OFF Mode (P04).
The device will turn ON after the first countdown, then turn OFF after a second countdown.
To set any Countdown Mode:
- Drücken MODUS until P02, P03, or P04 is displayed.
- Drücken SATZ. The countdown time(s) will flash. Adjust using UP/RUNTER.
- Drücken SATZ , um zu speichern und zu beenden.
Erweiterte Einstellungen
