bticino HC/HS/HD4451 Flush Mounted Timer Thermostat

General information

The 4451 Chronothermostat is a flush-mounting device that can be used for heating and air-conditioning systems; it is possible – through several programming possibilities – to adjust the temperature at any time of the day and in a differentiated manner, every day of the week. It is possible to choose how to use a standard program (already stored but can be changed according to the specific needs of the user) or to create a new one with a simple programming procedure.
A large back-lit display shows you at all times the program setting, the status of the system, and the temperature of the room.
The Chronothermostat consists of a base used for the system’s electric connections and a removable front part to allow the user to execute the programming operations and to replace the batteries more easily.

The front side

1. Graphic display: displays the messages which determine the programming operations as well as the system status
2. Selection Keys: these let you cycle through the functioning modes inside the menu, if any, while the main screen is being viewed;
3. OK Key: accesses the main menu, confirms the selection displayed or the data entered
4. Sensor: measures the ambient temperature
5. C Key: cancels the selection and returns to the previous page; if held down, it returns to the initial page
6. Scroll Keys: these let you change the set temperature while the main screen is being viewed; when inside the menu, you can scroll the list of the options available.

The display

During normal operation, the graphic display shows the following background information:

Symbols
Depending on the functioning mode selected, the display may be characterised by the following symbols:
