TV02-BT Bluetooth Thermostatic Radiator Valve User Guide
Efficient Room Temperature Control for Your Heating System
Introduction
The TV02-BT is a smart thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) designed to provide precise and energy-efficient control over room temperatures within a hot water heating system. Leveraging Bluetooth connectivity, it integrates seamlessly with smartphone applications for convenient remote management of your home's heating.
Key Features
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Enables control and monitoring via a dedicated mobile application, offering flexibility and remote access.
- Precise Temperature Control: Accurately maintains user-defined room temperatures, enhancing comfort and reducing energy waste.
- Open Window Detection: An intelligent feature that automatically pauses heating when a rapid temperature drop is detected, indicating an open window. This function typically operates in both automatic and manual modes to prevent unnecessary energy expenditure.
- Offset Temperature Setting: Allows users to calibrate the device's temperature reading against the actual room temperature. This ensures greater accuracy by compensating for variations in sensor placement or environmental factors.
- Programmable Schedules: Supports the creation of customized heating schedules to match daily routines, optimizing comfort and energy efficiency.
- Manual Mode: Provides direct control over temperature settings via the device's interface or the app.
- Automatic Mode: Operates based on pre-set schedules and intelligent algorithms for automated comfort.
Operation and Usage
The TV02-BT is designed for straightforward installation onto standard radiator valve bodies. Users interact with the device primarily through a companion mobile application, which connects via Bluetooth. The application facilitates:
- Setting and adjusting target room temperatures.
- Configuring personalized heating schedules.
- Monitoring the current room temperature and the operational status of the valve.
- Accessing and modifying advanced settings, such as offset temperature calibration and open window detection sensitivity.
The device itself may feature a minimalist interface, often including a digital display showing the current temperature and simple controls for immediate manual temperature adjustments.
Technical Overview
Key technical aspects of the TV02-BT include:
- Power Source: Typically powered by standard batteries (e.g., 2x AA), ensuring flexibility in placement without direct power connections.
- Connectivity: Utilizes Bluetooth technology (e.g., Bluetooth 4.2 or higher) for reliable communication with the control application.
- Temperature Operating Range: Designed to function within typical indoor environmental conditions, commonly from 5°C to 30°C.
- Valve Compatibility: Engineered to fit common radiator valve bodies, often featuring a standard M30x1.5 thread. Adapters for other valve types may be supplied to ensure broad compatibility.
- Environmental Considerations: Intended for indoor use, operating effectively within standard room humidity and temperature levels.
Maintenance and Care
Regular battery replacement is crucial for uninterrupted operation. For detailed maintenance procedures, such as cleaning or recalibration, users should consult the specific instructions provided within the mobile application or accompanying documentation.
