Product Usage Instructions

  • Mounting & Installation
    • Caution! Installation and connection should only be carried out by a qualified person. Only qualified electricians or authorized service staff are permitted to open the thermostat. If the thermostat is used in a way not specified by the manufacturer, its safety may be impaired. Prior to setting the thermostat, it is necessary to complete all required settings described in the section.
    • This thermostat must be directly mounted on a wall.
    • The mounting height should be 1.5 meters above the floor level.
    • The thermostat should be wall-mounted in the room where the heating is to be controlled. The place of installation should be chosen so that the thermostat can measure the room temperature as accurately as possible. Exposure to direct sunlight or other heating/cooling sources should be avoided when the thermostat is mounted.
  • Operating Instructions
    • When the thermostat is in the AUTO mode, it will operate according to the times and temperatures that have been programmed. The user can select from 6 different programs per day, each with a time and a temperature. There is no OFF time, only a higher and a lower temperature setpoint. If the user does not want the thermostat to operate, set the temperature for this time to be a low temperature. The thermostat will turn ON if the room temperature is lower than the setpoint for the current period.
  • Factory Default Settings
    • The factory default settings provide a starting point for using the thermostat. These settings can be adjusted based on personal preferences and heating requirements.

FAQs

  • Q: How often should I replace the batteries?
    • A: The batteries should be replaced once a year to ensure uninterrupted operation of the thermostat.
  • Q: Can the thermostat be used with any type of heating system?
    • A: The thermostat is compatible with most heating systems, but it is recommended to consult with a qualified professional for specific system compatibility.

How your programmable thermostat works
When the thermostat is in the AUTO mode, it will operate according to the times and temperatures that have been programmed. The user can select from 6 different programs per day, each with a time and a temperature.
There is no OFF time, only a higher and a lower temperature setpoint.
If the user does not want the thermostat to operate, set the temperature for this time to be a low temperature. The thermostat will turn ON if the room temperature is lower than the setpoint for the current period.
Example: If P1 is set to be 21°C at 6am, and if P2 is set to be 10°C at 8am, the thermostat will look for the temperature to be 21°C between 6am and 8am.

CP4B Room Thermostat

PO 1 Operating Mode (Normal / Optimum Start / TPI)
Nor (Normal Mode) When the thermostat is in Normal mode, the thermostat will try to reach the target temperature after the program changes. Example: Program 1 on the thermostat is 21°C for 06:30am and the room temperature is 18°C. The thermostat will start the heating at 06:30am and the room temperature will start to increase then.
OS (Optimum Start Mode) Boiler Plus When the thermostat is in Optimum Start mode, the thermostat will try to reach the target temperature by the start time of the next switching time. This is done by setting the Ti (time interval) on the thermostat in this menu to 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30. This will allow the thermostat 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes to increase the room temperature by 1°C. Ti can be set when OS is selected in the installer menu. 20°C

25

PO 1 Operating Mode (Normal / Optimum Start / TPI)

OS (Optimum Start Mode) Boiler Plus

(Continued)

To achieve the target temperature when the program starts, the thermostat will read:
1. The Room Temperature (RT)
2. The Setpoint Temperature (ST)
3. The Target Temperature Difference (TTD) is the difference between the setpoint temperature and the room temperature .
The time (in minutes) that it will take to overcome (TTD) is called Optimum Start Time (OST) and its maximum value is 3 hours = 180 mins. This is subtracted from the start time.
As the temperature increases the thermostat will recalculate the OST if the temperature is increasing too quickly.

Example when Ti = 10 Program 1 on the thermostat is 21°C for 06:30am and the room temperature is 18°C. The thermostat will start the heating at 06:00am to reach 21°C for 06:30am @ Ti=10.

PO 1 Operating Mode (Normal / Optimum Start / TPI)
TPI (Time Proportional & Integral Mode)
When the thermostat is in TPI mode and the temperature is rising in the zone and falls into the Proportional Bandwidth section, TPI will start to affect the thermostats operation. The thermostat will turn on and off as it gains heat so that it doesn’t overshoot the setpoint by too much. It will also turn on if the temperature is falling so it doesn’t undershoot the setpoint which will leave the user with a more comfortable level of heat.

There are 2 settings that will affect the thermostats operation:

1. CYC – No. of Heating Cycles per Hour: 6 Cycles
This value will decide how often the thermostat will cycle the heating on and off when trying to achieve the setpoint temperature. You can select 2/3/6 or 12.

2. Pb – Proportional Bandwidth: 2°C
This value refers to the temperature below the setpoint at which the thermostat will start to operate in TPI Control. You can set this temperature from 1.5°C to 3.0°C in 0.1°C increments.

This menu allows the installer to change the switching differential of the thermostat when the temperature is rising and falling. HOn is the fall in temperature ­ Default ­ 0.4°C. This will allow a fall of 0.4°C from the setpoint before the thermostat turns on again. Hoff is the rise in temperature ­ Default ­ 0.0°C. This will allow the temperature to rise 0°C above its setpoint.
