THERMOSTAT MENU DESCRIPTION

1. (CL) Air sensor – calibration of displayed temperature (range: +/- 4ºC)
   The regulator has the ability to calibrate the displayed temperature to +/- 4ºC.
   The device is factory calibrated to the correct temperature (O) but it is possible to change it so that you can eliminate errors reading the sensor.
2. (BL) Select the display backlight
   Position 1; backlight permanently off.
   Position 2; backlight activated when any button is touched. Position 3; backlight on permanently.
3. (AF) Selection of sensor
   1. Setting (A) air sensor
      The thermostat switches on and off the heating system based on the air temperature reading inside of
      the room. The floor sensor is not used and should not be connected.
      This option is signaled by the symbol displayed on the right side of the display.
   2. Setting (F) floor sensor
      The thermostat switches on and disconnects the heating system based on the floor temperature reading.
      With this setting, the air sensor is not used and is not active.
      This option is signaled by the symbol displayed on the right side of the display.
   3. Setting (AF) air and floor sensor
      The thermostat switches on and disconnects the heating system based on the air and floor temperature reading. The measurement of air temperature is a priority. The maximum floor temperature should be set individually.
      Factory set to + 28ºC. (position in the regulator menu No. 6, FH)
      This option is signaled by the symbols displayed on the right side of the display.
4. (AH) Limiting the maximum air temperature
   Options (type A and AF) allow setting the maximum air temperature limitation.
   By default, the value is + 35ºC, which can be changed in the range from +18 to: + 35ºC.
   If the thermostat communicates with the floor sensor only (type F), this option allows limiting maximum floor temperature. Default: + 45ºC, which can also be changed from +18 to: + 45ºC.
5. 5 – (FL) Limitation of the minimum floor temperature (only F and AF)
   Setting range from +5 to + 20ºC. The minimum set by default in thermostat is + 10ºC.
6. (FH) Limiting the maximum floor temperature (only F and AF)
   Setting range from +25 to + 50ºC. The minimum set by default is + 28ºC.
7. (PS) Choosing the weekly working mode
   The thermostat has two types of programming for the days of the week.
   Option 7: programming every day separately
   Option 3: programming for the first five days of the week, Saturday and Sunday separately.
8. (CS) Number of daily events selection
   P4 – four events to set up during the day
   P6 – six events to set up during the day.
9. (CF) Choice of temperature scale (ºC or ºF)
   Set the switch in the ºC position for the scale in Celsius or ºF for the Fahrenheit scale.
10. (CO) Selecting the clock operation mode
    Set 12 H or 24 H
11. (LD) Changing the setting of the contactor load
    For the proper functioning of the thermostat, it is necessary to set the contactor load parameter correctly. Its value depends on the full power of the heating mat.
    WARNING! The LD position is very important. Incorrect setting of the contactor load will.
12. (SE) Choice of floor sensor type
    The option allows you to change the resistance of the floor sensor.
    Factory setting 100 kOhm (this sensor is included).
    Changing this setting to 10 kOhm is required if sensor with such resistance is installed in the floor (for example. after thermostat replacement).

Setting options

HH	load	12-16 ( A)
H	load	8-11 ( A )
L	load	0-7 ( A )

Conversion
Simplified pattern calculation

• W ÷ V = A
• W – the power of the heating element
• V – power supply
• A – load

Example
920 W ÷ 230 V = 4 A

Clock setting

3. PREVIEW OF FLOOR TEMPERATURE
   This option is available only in the air-floor mode (AF) Push the button for 3 seconds. The current floor temperature is shown and the symbol “After pressing” will appear on the display next to the temperature indicator. Pushing the OK button brings back the device to working according to the program.
4. RESET
   • RESET MENU – push and hold for 5 seconds button until the message (ConF) appears Push the OK button. The menu has been reset.
   • PROGRAM RESET – push and hold for 5 secondsbutton until the message (ConF) appears Push the SEC button, and the text (Pro9) will be displayed. Push the OK button. The program has been reset to factory default.
   • FULL RESET – To do this, lightly press the hidden button (reset) located above the button
     This can be done with a pin or an office paper clip.
     After pressing the (reset) button, wait until the thermostat re-installs the software.

Open window function

The thermostat has been equipped with an automatic energy saving function. In the event of a rapid temperature drop of 1.5ºC or higher within a period of 1 minute, the electrical supply is disconnected and the heating system is blocked for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes a forced start occurs and if the temperature on the sensor increases, the device goes into normal operation mode (heating). If the temperature does not rise but remains at the lowest recorded level, the energy supply is again cut off.

If the thermostat is defective, we will repair it. However, if, during the guarantee period, the thermostat becomes irreparable as agreed by an engineer approved by our authorized agent then we reserve the right, at our discretion, to exchange the defective thermostat with a replacement thermostat. If the same thermostat is no longer available an alternative thermostat will be offered with the equivalent functions and specifications. During the service work carried out it may be necessary to remove the built in thermostat from its fitted position. If the thermostat is glued, grouted or tiled in such a manner that it cannot be removed, it is the responsibility of the customer/installer to remove and reinstall the thermostat to facilitate the repair or replacement.

After the thermostat has been repaired or replaced any remaining balance of the guarantee period will apply to the repaired or replaced thermostat. Should any person other than an engineer approved by our authorised agent modify or attempt to repair the thermostat then the guarantee will be invalid. This guarantee only applies to the country of purchase or delivery and is not transferrable to any other countries. This guarantee is non-transferrable to any other person or product.
