This chapter explains how the clock thermostat and some of its functions work.
No batteries
For its functioning, the clock thermostat receives its energy from the connected boiler. No batteries are required.
Loss of voltage
In the case of loss of voltage, all settings are saved in the clock thermostat’s memory. After a 4-hour loss of voltage, only the day and time setting has to be reset. However, for it to work the clock thermostat should have been connected for a minimum of 1 hour. To save energy during the loss of voltage no information is displayed on the screen.
Operational mode selection:
Manual mode
The clock thermostat can be used as an ‘ordinary’ room thermostat, i.e. without using the clock program. In this case, you can switch on the thermostat in the morning, adjust it during the day as required, and reset it to the night temperature in the evening.
Refer to chapter 3 for additional information.
Automatic mode
(Clock program for central heating) The thermostat has a clock program that automatically controls room temperature every day of the week. Every day and every half an hour a different temperature can be preset. Refer to chapter 4 for additional information.
The self-learning switch-on optimization ensures that the required temperature is reached at the time programmed. Since outside temperatures vary daily, the thermostat re-determines /every day at what time the boiler has to start up in the morning to ensure it is warm on time. If that temperature has not been reached at the time set, it will start heating up earlier the next morning. The same applies the other way around. This switch-on optimization also applies when the thermostat setting is lowered during the day and the home is heated up again in the afternoon. In this case, the switch-on optimization in the morning (before 12:00 hours) will be different than in the afternoon (after 12:00 hours). This is because cooling down during the day is slower than at night. It may take about a week before the thermostat ‘has learned how to work’. This function is factory set to OFF. When desired your installer can change this setting for you.
Additional savings in Economy setting (Does not apply to ATAG Q-Series)
Using the thermostat it is possible to switch any available Comfort settings for hot water mode on or off. In the Comfort setting the boiler’s hot water input is set to retain its temperature for quick hot water input. When the pipe connections to the tap are short, at night or when you are away, this Comfort setting is not required and you can switch the boiler setting back to Economy. There are 4 alternatives for Comfort and Economy settings. Additional information can be found in chapter 5.2.
Communication language
The WiZe clock thermostat communicates with the connected boiler via the ATAG Z-bus (Open Therm), a universal communication language for boilers. By means of a double-core cable, this language is used to exchange information between the thermostat and the connected boiler.
On-screen device information
Using the thermostat certain boiler data can be read. For instance, the flame symbol indicates whether the boiler is on or not. The information menu, amongst other things, can display the outside temperature or boiler pressure. It depends on the boiler type whether all menu information is displayed because related sensors have to be available and installed. Refer to chapter 5.4 for additional information.
Modulating central heating control
The WiZe clock thermostat measures the room temperature and uses it to determine the area’s heat demand. Depending on room temperature the thermostat determines the water temperature required by the boiler. As a result the boiler also determines the capacity required resulting in optimum heat input to the house combined with the lowest energy consumption possible.
Weather dependent control
The WiZe clock thermostat can also be used as a weather-dependent control. The major difference, as opposed to ordinary room temperature control, is that when the weather-dependent control is switched on the boiler input temperature is being controlled instead of the temperature of the room where the thermostat is located. The control is called ‘weather dependent’ because it uses an optional outside temperature sensor. In combination with thermostatic radiator valves throughout the house, room temperatures for each room can be controlled individually. Depending on measured outside temperatures and the heating curve set on the thermostat, the boiler’s water temperature will increase or decrease. Effectively: The colder it gets outside, the hotter the boiler’s water will get, and vice versa. Refer to chapter 5.8 for additional information.
Timer function
Using the timer function you can select either a set time or a fixed temperature. During a long absence, for instance, it allows you to temporarily select a lower temperature or a higher temperature for a party or when you are doing overtime. Refer to chapter 5.3 for additional information.
Mounting
Choose a suitable location for mounting the thermostat.
Suitable mounting location:
At a height of approx. 1.5 m, away from windows and doors; on an internal wall without obstacles around the room thermostat.
Wrong mounting places:
Plug the boiler’s plug into the socket. When the voltage has been supplied to the thermostat for the first time, you will see this screen. Select language (English is the default) Italian and Turkish are also possible, select using arrow keys.
After these settings, the thermostat will work immediately in accordance with clock program 1 for heating (chapter 4.3 refers) and the Comfort setting ‘ON’ for the hot water input (chapter 5.2 refers). Refer to chapters 3, 4, and 5.2 for any adjustments to these factory settings. Refer also to chapter 5.7, setting the correct day and time.
Activating manual mode
You can also use this thermostat without the clock program being switched on.
Manual mode thermostat (clock program not activated)
Once the thermostat has been set to manual mode (3.1 refers) you can change the required temperature as follows:
The standard screen will display the current room temperature. Press an arrow key once and the set required temperature will start flashing. Increase or decrease the set temperature using the arrow keys and the new required value you see displayed will be set instantly. The temperature can be adjusted by 0.5°C at a time. After 6 seconds or after pressing the menu key, the flashing will stop and you will see the current room temperature again. Chapter 5.8 refers to temperature-setting recommendations.
Activating the clock program for CH
Check whether the clock program has been activated: You can activate the clock program as follows:
Clock bar visible = clock program active (automatic).
If you do see a clock bar on the screen, then proceed to chapter 4.2.
No clock bar = manual mode If you do not see the clock bar on the screen, then activate the clock program as follows:
Press the menu key
The thermostat has now been set to automatic mode in accordance with the clock program. The standard screen now displays the clock bar. Continue with chapter 4.2
Set the three desired room temperatures (low – medium – high)
Three temperatures can be selected for the clock program controlling automatic temperatures, every half hour of the day you can select one of these three temperatures. In the example below the indicated temperatures represent factory settings.
The small blocks indicate the set temperatures:
Chapter 5.8 refers to temperature-setting recommendations. You can adjust the required temperatures as follows:
To make settings easier 5 week programs have been pre-programmed. Se below (1 to 5 incl.). Here you can select a program best suited to the week program required in the end.
Chapter 4.4. tells you how the selected program can be further adjusted. The small blocks indicate the set temperatures:
The time bar runs from 03.00 hrs at night until 03.00 hrs the following night. Program 1 is the standard setting. When you select program 1 then please continue to 4.4 Please follow the explanation below should you wish to select
Continue with chapter 4.4
Below please find an example of further adjustment of a pre-programmed day (this example refers to week program 1). The clock bar for Monday displays the standard adjacent picture.
Suppose you wish to set this day in the manner shown below: From 7:00 – 16:00 hours = T2.
From 16:00 -24:00 hours = T3.
ATTENTION! As a result of the self-learning behavior, the required temperature is reached at the time set. Refer to chapter 1 for additional information.
You can adjust the day set as follows:
When you are in the program menu (as shown at *), continue at *). If you are not in the program menu;
Use the key to run through the time bar until 16:00 hours appears on the screen. The small blocks which are no longer flashing have been set, i.e. for 7:00 to 16:00 hours inclusive T2 has been set.
Made a mistake?
Did you go too far when changing the temperature? You can correct this as follows. Press 2 (SET) and select the required temperature.
Run through the time bar using the
Press 4 Run through the time bar using the key
Copy day program to the following day
When the screen shows MO you can use the arrow keys in the time bar to proceed to the next or previous day. For instance, you will see MO (Monday) change into TU (Tuesday). In this way, you can program the whole week. You can also copy the Monday setting to Tuesday. Proceed as follows: Using this example you can program every day to meet your requirements. The weekly program works immediately in ac- accordance with the time and temperatures set. Move to the day you wish to copy, for instance. Monday (MO);
You are now on the next day, Tuesday (TU). You can now see that Tuesday is set the same way as Monday.
The summary setting of the week’s program
The screen is displayed in the PROGRAM MENU.
Consecutively press
with the arrow keys The clock’s time is running along just like the small flashing blocks in the time bar.

You can temporarily adjust the temperature as follows:
On the screen, you see the current room temperature. Press
In the case of a different temporary temperature setting the screen displays the hand symbol
This chapter explains how you can adjust certain settings. It gives recommendations with which you yourself can determine the best setting for your installa-tion. At the same time, it explains how you can read information from the boiler, such as boiler pressure.
When you press the menu key
Press, 1 or 2 to 3proceed to the corresponding menu and 4 to the other screen.
When the boiler has that facility, the thermostat can be used to set the boiler’s hot water function to Comfort or Economy. Check the boiler’s manual for any settings required for this purpose. What does the Comfort/Economy setting imply? Most combination boilers have a function to supply hot water quickly, the so-called Comfort setting (with exception of the Q-series). This is particularly useful for longer pipe runs because you do not have to wait that long for hot water. The following applies to a combination boiler:
Tap symbol visible: Comfort setting always on or Comfort
The economy is in accordance with the clock program. Tap symbol not visible: Economy setting.
The following hot water – Comfort settings are possible:
The settings for these four possibilities are described below:
T1 =
For every day of the week, you can now program at what time the boiler has to be in the Comfort setting and when in the Economy setting. Start again with * on this page. Using the option ‘ZET’ (SET) you can select T1 = (
Use the central heating timer (party program)
Only when the central heating’s clock program is active you can temporarily set a different temperature using the central heating’s timer. With a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
Additional explanations can be found on the following page. After the set time the clock program will be resumed automa-tically.If you wish to end the set time earlier, just select the previous setting.
Using the central heating’s timer when the thermostat is set to “manual mode” implies that at the end of the TIMER function, the temperature will not return to the temperature set initially. So, if you use the thermostat without the clock program, this TIMER function has no function.
Reading the device’s information
Certain boiler data can be read from the thermostat’s INFORMATION MENU. Below please find instructions explaining how you end up in this menu and what the displayed information means.
ATTENTION! The data are only displayed if the boiler is equipped with the required sensors and relays the data to the thermostat.
All ATAG boilers allow for adjustment of the hot water tem-perature setting (= tapwater setpoint) and maximum central heating temperature (= central heating setpoint). When the WiZe thermostat is connected to the boiler, these adjustments may be set on both the boiler and thermostat. The last setting is always the current setting, regardless of where (boiler or thermostat) the setting has been activated. Please refer also to the boiler’s manual. You can adjust the central heating’s setpoint as follows:
MAX SUPPLY = CH setpoint (= maximum flow temperature).Recommendation: Do not change the setpoint if it is not urgently required.
ATTENTION! With some boilers, the central heating’s maximum input temperature may exceed this value by 5°C. Press the arrow keys to adjust the value. The value is set immediately.
You can adjust the tapwater setpoint as follows:Recommendation: Do not change the setpoint if it is not urgently required.
DHW SETP = DHW-setpoint (= control value for hot water temperature).
ATTENTION! This setting is not the same as the hot water temperature coming out of the tap. Press the arrow keys to adjust the value. The value is set immediately.

Resetting the exact day and time (e.g. summer/winter time)
Keep radiators placed in the area with the room thermostat always open. The actual temperature and room temperature measured by the thermostat may differ slightly depending on the installation and position of the room thermostat . This may be the case, for instance, when the thermostat is mounted on an outside wall. Consult your installer for further information.
Night temperature setting
It is recommended not to set the night temperature to more than 5°C below the day temperature. For installations with just floor heating it should not be set lower than 2°C on account of having to fire the boiler following the lower night setting.
Holidays / temporary fixed temperatures
When you leave home for a certain period of time and wish to temporarily set a fixed low temperature, you can set the thermostat to manual mode. Chapters 3.1 and 4.1 provide additional explanations in this respect.
Weather dependent control
Usually the weather-dependent control is active when an outdoor sensor has been fitted. You may check this by referring to chapter 5.4 or checking whether the outside temperature (no.1) is displayed. When you see an outside temperature displayed, then an outdoor sensor is fitted. Also, consult your installer if required. When using the thermostat’s weather-dependent control certain settings have a different meaning:
Prevent freezing of your central heating installation
When the thermostat has been switched off for both the Comfort setting and the central heating (the (!) symbol is visible), the thermostat will keep the room temperature at a minimum of 5°C (Frost prevention). This is the case when ‘UIT’ (OFF) has been selected in the central heating menu and the tapwater menu. However, it is advisable not to set the thermostat lower than approx. 12°C. This reduces the risk that parts of your central heating system or water pipes will freeze considerably, in particular when the pipes are located in a frost-exposed area.
This chapter explains some faults and questions you may have regarding the functioning of the thermostat.
Questions/complaints about your heating installation
Explanations are given in respect of likely questions.
Faults
Explanations are also given in respect of faults usually indicated by the! symbol. Check whether you can solve the faults yourself and call your installer if necessary. These faults may also be caused by a connected boiler. Therefore, also check the boiler’s display screen and refer to the corresponding manual.
Questions/complaints about your heating installation
Heating up takes a long time in the morning.
The boiler comes on earlier than the time set on the central heating’s clock program.
Sometimes getting hot water takes longer than usual
It is too cold inside the house
When it is too cold and the thermostat does not indicate a fault, then this may have several causes. The following causes may apply:
Display faults on the thermostat’s screen
The thermostat can also relay boiler faults. Therefore, first check whether the fault is not caused by the connected boiler. Refer to the boiler’s manual for additional explanation regar-ding the boiler fault.If it reads “Err” instead of the temperature then there is so-mething wrong with the boiler’s thermostat. Check whether the wiring has been properly connec-ted to the boiler (to the Z-ready/bus-thermostat connection) and inside the thermostat itself (refer to chapter 2.1). Consult your installer if the complaint persists.
A connected boiler displays a fault. There are minor faults
Loss of voltage
The thermostat works without batteries and obtains its required energy via the boiler. When the thermostat is removed from its mounting plate, all settings are stored in the memory. Only after an interruption of approximately 4 hours do you have to reset the day and time.
