COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-PRODUCT

A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE THERMOSTAT

COMPUTHERM E400RF Wi-Fi thermostat is a switching device that can be operated by a smartphone or tablet via Internet, and we especially recommend it for controlling heating or cooling systems. It can be easily connected to any gas boiler having a two-wire thermostat connection point and to any air conditioning apparatus or electrical apparatus, regardless of whether they have a 24 V or 230 V control circuit.

The device consists of two units. One is the thermostat (transmitter unit), the other is the receiver unit that controls the boiler. There is a wireless (radio frequency) connection between the two units, so there is no need to build a wire between the thermostat and the boiler. The two units are factory syncronized. The thermostat and its receiver have their own security code, which guarantees the safe operation of the device. See Chapter 7 for installation, connection and sycronization of the receiver with the thermostat. The thermostat does not transmit continuously, but repeats its current switching command every 5 minutes, and heating/cooling control is provided even after a power failure, if this option is selected in the settings.

The portability of the thermostat offers the following advantages:

COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-2

  • no need to lay a cable, which is especially advantageous when old buildings are being modernized,
  • the optimal location of the device can be selected during operation,
  • it is also advantageous when you intend to locate the thermostat in different rooms in the course of the day (e.g. in the living room during the day but in the bedroom at night).

The range of the thermostat-mounted transmitter in open field is approx. 250 m. This distance can be significantly reduced inside a building, especially if a metal structure, reinforced concrete, or adobe wall gets in the way of radio waves. The device can be easily controlled via both Internet and touch button interface, and its operating conditions can be checked continuously. The device also facilitates automatic control on the basis of temperatures and times. Several thermostats that are put into operation at different locations can be registered to the same account and controlled.

COMPUTHERM E400RF Wi-Fi thermostats can be used to control:

  • gas boilers
  • an existing heating/cooling system remotely
  • electric water heaters
  • solar systems
  • certain groups of other electric devices

With the help of the product the heating/cooling system of your flat, house or holiday home can be made controllable from any place and at any time. This product is especially useful when you do not use your flat or house according to a predefined schedule, you leave your home for an uncertain period of time during the hating season or you intend to use your holiday home during the heating season as well.

The simultaneous use of several COMPUTHERM room thermostats and one COMPUTHERM Q4Z zone controller provides the possibility to e.g. in addition to starting the heater or cooler, a particular thermostat must also control a pump or a zone valve. In this way, it is easy to divide a heating / cooling system into zones, thanks to which the heating / cooling of each room can be controlled separately, thus greatly increasing comfort. Furthermore, the zoning of the heating / cooling system will greatly contribute to the reduction of energy costs, as this will always only heat / cool the rooms where it is required.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Before starting to use the device, please study carefully the instructions for use and follow strictly the instructions therein.
  • The thermostat was designed for business or household (not industrial) use, and can be used to control any electric device whose performance does not exceed 2.3 kW (loadability: max. 24 V DC / 250 V AC; 10 A [3 A inductive load]
  • Before starting to use the thermostat, make sure that the Wi-Fi network is reliably accessible at the place where you intend to use the apparatus.
  • This device has been designed for indoor use. Do not use it in a humid, dusty or chemically aggressive environment.
  • This device is a thermostat that can be controlled via a wireless Wi-Fi network. To prevent jamming, keep it away from such electric equipment which may interfere with wireless communications.
  • The manufacturer will assume no responsibility for any possible direct or indirect damages or income losses incurring during the use of the device.
  • The device will not work without power supply, but the thermostat is able to memorize settings. In case of power failure (outage) it can resume operation without any external intervention after the power supply is restored, provided that this option has been chosen among settings (see Chapter 11). If you intend to use the device in an environment where power outages occur frequently, for safety purposes we propose you to control proper operation of the thermostat regularly.

LOCATION OF THE THERMOSTAT AND THE RECEIVER UNIT

It is expedient to install the thermostat on the wall of a room used regularly or for a prolonged stay, so that it is located in the direction of natural air movement in the room, but do not expose it to draughts of air or extreme heat effects (e.g. solar radiation, refrigerator or chimney). Its optimal position is at a height of 0.75-1.5 m from the floor level. The receiver of the COMPUTHERM E400RF thermostat should be installed near the boiler, in a place protected from moisture, dust, chemicals and heat. When selecting the location of the receiver, also take it into account that the propagation of radio waves is caused by large metal objects (eg boilers, buffer tanks, etc.) or metal building structures may be adversely affected. If possible, we recommend to install the receiver at a distance of at least 1-2 m from the boiler and other large metal structures, at a height of 1.5-2 m, to ensure interference-free radio frequency communication. We recommend to check the reliability of the radio frequency connection at the selected location before installing the receiver.

ATTENTION: Do not install the receiver under the boiler cover or in the immediate vicinity of hot pipes, as this may damage the components of the appliance and endanger the wireless (radio frequency) connection. To prevent electric shock, entrust a professional to connect the receiver unit to the boiler.

IMPORTANT WARNING: If the radiator valves in your flat are equipped with thermostat head then set the thermostat head to maximum level in the room where you intend to locate the room thermostat or replace the thermostat head of the radiator valve with manual regulating knob, otherwise the thermostat head may disturb the temperature control in the flat.

CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION OF THE THERMOSTAT AND THE RECEIVER UNIT

Attention: Make sure that the COMPUTHERM E400RF thermostat and the apparatus to be controlled are de-energized while putting them into operation. The device should be installed and put into operation by a competent person! If you do not possess the necessary skills and qualifications, please get in touch with an authorized service.

Caution: The modification of the device poses a risk of electric shock or breakdown!

Putting the thermostat into operation

COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-5

Connect the front of the thermostat to its holder, then connect the USB-C power cable to the back of the holder. Then connect the other end of the USB cable to the adapter included in the package and connect it to the 230 V mains. (Figure 3)

Putting the receiver unit into operation

To put the receiver into operation, snap the front of the receiver unit off the back part using a flat-blade screwdriver. To remove the front panel, press the retaining claws on the top and bottom of the product. After this, the front panel of the receiver should be removed from the back panel and then the back panel should be fixed to the wall near the boiler with the supplied screws. Above the connection points, the N-L and the NO-COM-NC are marked to indicate the connection points.

Connecting the controlled device to the receiver unit

COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-6

The receiver with changeover output controls the boiler (or air conditioner) via a potential-free relay with connection points: NO, COM and NC. The connection points for the room thermostat of the heating or cooling device to be controlled should be connected to the NO and COM terminals of the terminal that are normaly open (Figure 4). In case the device to be controlled does not have a thermostat connection point, the power supply wire of the device to be controlled must be disconnected and connected to the NO and COM connection points of the thermostat (Figure 5).

Connecting the receiver unit to the mains

The 230 V power supply should be connected to the terminals marked N-L inside the receiver unit with a two-wire cable. It is not necessary to pay attention to the phase correctness when connecting the power supply and it is not necessary to connect a ground because the product is double insulated.

Synchronization of the thermostat and the receiver unit

The two units are syncronized in the factory. The thermostat and its receiver have their own security code, which guarantees the safe operation of the device. If for some reason the thermostat and its receiver unit do not communicate with each other, or if you do not want to use the factory-paired thermostat and receiver together, make the following steps to syncronized the thermostat and the receiver unit:

  • Look at the 14 digit identification code on the top of the receiver unit cover or inside the detachable front panel.
  • Enable the “Synchronize with Receiver” function in the thermostat asdescribed in Chapter 11.
  • Turn off the thermostat, then touch and hold theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-7 arrow while tapping COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-8button. Then the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-9sign appears on the right side of the display and a two digit number appears on the left. ThisCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-10 value must match the first 2 digits of the identification code on the receiver unit. If the displayed number and the first two digit numbers of the receiver identification code do not match, use theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-10 arrows to change it.
  • Press the menu button on the thermostat. Then the SN2 sign appears onthe right side of the display and a two digit number also appears on the left side. If the displayed number and the third and fourth digits of the receiver identification code do not match, use the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-10arrows to change it.
  • Also setCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-12 and COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-13in a similar way as above discribed.
  • After setting the appropriate COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-13value, touch the menu button. Then the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-15sign will appear on the right side of the thermostat display, and a two-digit number will appear on the left side, which is a verification code. If this number does not match with the last two digits of the number sequence on the receiver unit, one of the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-14values has been set incorrectly. In this case, start the alignment again and check the set values.
  • If theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-15 value displayed on the thermostat matches the last two digits of the number on the receiver, press theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-16 button again.
  • The thermostat’s display shows theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-42 text on the right and the number on the left. This funcion may be used in a future development of the product. Do not change this value, just tapCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-16 to complete the syncronization.

BASIC OPERATION OF THE THERMOSTAT

When it is switched on, on the basis of the temperature measured by itself and currently set (manually or through programming), the thermostat controls the apparatus(es) (e.g. gas boiler, pump) connected thereto, considering the switch sensitivity of the thermostat (±0.2 °C by factory default). This means that when the temperature is set to 22 °C on the thermostat and then at a switching sensitivity of ± 0.2 °C, the NO and COM connection points of the receiver output relay close at temperatures below 21.8 °C (heating on) and open at temperatures above 22.2 °C (heating off). In cooling mode, the relay switches in the exact opposite direction. The closed status of the NO and COM connection points of the output relay is indicated by theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-20 or COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-21icon on the device display and in the telephone application according to the selected operating mode.

Attention: Make sure that any settings for the thermostat in the event of a power failure are stored on an external server and it will take a few seconds to update the data on the server. Therefore, if you modify any of the settings of the thermostat (eg operating settings, programming, set temperature, etc.) and then the power supply to the appliance is cut off within a few seconds, the changed settings not be saved.

Selecting the switching sensitivity (DIF)

It is possible to set the switching sensitivity. By setting this value, you can specify how much the appliance switches the connected device on/off below/above the set temperature. The lower this value, the more uniform the internal temperature of the room, the greater the comfort will be. The switching sensitivity does not affect the heat loss of the room (building).

In case of higher comfort requirements, the switching sensitivity should be chosen so as to ensure the most constant internal temperature. However, also make sure that the boiler is switched on several times hourly only at low outdoor temperatures (eg -10 °C), as frequent switching off and on will impair the efficiency of the boiler’s operation and increase gas consumption. The switching sensitivity can be set between ±0.1 °C and ±1.0 °C (in 0.1 °C increments). Except some special cases, we recommend setting ±0.1 °C or ± 0.2 °C (factory default setting). See Chapter 9 for more information on switching sensitivity.

Calibration of the temperature sensor (ADJ)

The measuring accuracy of the thermometer of the thermostat is ± 0.5 °C. The temperature displayed by the thermostat can be modified in 0.1 °C increments in comparison to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor, but the modification can not exceed ± 3 °C.

Antifreezing (FRE)

When the antifreezing function of the thermostat is activated, the thermostat will switch on its output, regardless of any other setting, when the temperature measured by the thermostat goes below 5 °C. When the temperature reaches 7 °C, normal operation of the output is restored (according to the set temperature).

Memorizing ON/OFF status in case of a power failture (PON)

By means of the Memorizing Settings function of the thermostat you can select the mode in which the thermostat continues to operate:

  • 00/OFF: the thermostat turns off and remains turned off until this mode is altered, regardless whether the thermostat was on or off before the power failure.
  • 01/ON: the thermostat returns to the same state in which it was before the power failure (default setting).

Changing between heating or cooling mode (FUN)

You can easily switch between heating (00; factory default) and cooling (01) modes.

The connection points NO and COM of the thermostat’s output relay close at a temperatures below the set temperature in heating mode and at temperatures above the set temperature in cooling mode (taking the set switching sensitivity into account).

Restoring default setting (FAC)

All settings of the thermostat, except for date and time, will be restored to factory setting. To restore factory setting, after selecting COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-29setting option and tapping theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-7 button several times, switch over the appearing COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-30setting to 00. Then tap the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-16button once to restore factory setting. If you move on by tapping theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-16 button and leaving the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-29value at its default value (COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-30) then the device will not return to default setting but save the settings and exits the operation-related settings menu.

SWITCHING BETWEEN ON AND OFF POSITIONS

SWITCHING BETWEEN ON AND OFF POSITIONS AND MODES OF THE DEVICE

  • The thermostat has the following 2 positions:
    • Off position
    • On position

Programming means setting of switching times and selection of corresponding temperature values. Any temperature set for a switch will remain in effect until the time of the next switch. Switching times can be specified with an accuracy of 1 minute. Within the temperature range (the minimum and maximum values of the adjustable range are 5 °C and 99 °C, respectively) specified in the settings a different temperature can be chosen for each switching time, in 0.5 °C increments. The device can be programmed for a period of one week. In the programmed auto mode the thermostat operates automatically, and cyclically repeats the entered switches every 7 days. The following 3 options are available to program the thermostat:

  • 5+2 mode: setting 6 switches per day for 5 working days and 2 switches per day for 2 days of the weekend
  • 6+1 mode: setting 6 switches per day from Monday till Saturday and 2 switches on Sunday
  • 7+0 mode: setting 6 switches per day for every day of the week

If you do not need all adjustable switches on certain days (e.g. only 4 switches is required on working days), you can eliminate unnecessary switches by setting their time and temperature to the time and temperature of the last switch you want to use.

Description of the steps of programming

Using phone application

  • To enter programming mode touch the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-37icon. Then the screen for programming appears on the display.
  • The indication of the currently selected programming mode is located at the top of the screen for programming, beside the legend Programing mode. Touching this, you can switch between programming modes as follows:
    • 12345,67: 5+2 mode
    • 123456,7: 6+1 mode
    • 1234567: 7+0 mode
  • Switches belonging to a given programming mode are below the indication of the programming mode. You can modify data (time, temperature) of switches by tapping the value concerned.
  • To complete programming and return to the screen belonging to the thermostat touch the < icon in the upper left corner. Programs that were set earlier can be checked at any time by entering the programming mode again.

On the thermostat

  • To enter programming mode touch the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-16button for approximately 5 seconds. Then on the display the legend LOOP appears in place of the hour, and the indication belonging to the currently selected programming mode replaces the current day.
  • With the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-10buttons choose the preferred programming mode as follows:
    • for 5+2 mode: 12345
    • for 6+1 mode: 123456
    • for 7+0 mode: 1234567
    • Now touch theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-16 button again.
  • Following this, you can specify or modify various switch times and temperatures as follows:
    • You can switch between switch times with theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-16 button.
    • With the help ofCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-22 you can switch between data belonging to switch times (temperature, hour value of the time, minute value of the time).
    • Values are always set byCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-10 buttons. After the program of weekdays has been set, you can set the program of the days of the weekend. The day and switch being set are shown by the icon flashing on the display.
  • Programs that were set earlier can be checked at any time by repeating the steps of programming mode.

Attention: In the interest of logical programming ensure that in programming the times of successive switches succeed each other during the course of the day, i.e. you should specify switches in chronological order.

Modifying temperature until the next switch in the program

If the thermostat is in programmed mode, but you want to temporarily change the set temperature until the next program switch, you can do so as follows:

  • Using the phone application: using the iconsCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-36 or moving the slide (groove) on the circular scale, the iconCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-33 will appear in the application instead of the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-43icon.
  • On the thermostat: using the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-10buttons. The thermostat’s display will show COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-38and COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-44at the same time. The set temperature this way will remain in effect until the next program switch.

The „Modify temperature until the next switch in the program” mode is marked as follows:

  • In the phone application: with the COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-33icon
  • On the thermostat: with theCOMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-38 and COMPUTHERM-E400RF-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-FIG-44icons
