COMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (2)

A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE THERMOSTAT COMPUTHERM

E300 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 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. The thermostat has two potential free relays which switch simultaneously therefore it is able to control two independent apparatuses.

COMPUTHERM E300 Wi-Fi thermostats can be used to control:

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 heating season or you intend to use your holiday home during the heating season as well.
The thermostat is especially suitable for controlling underfloor heating systems owing to the connectable floor temperature sensor.
The two parallel operating relays incorporated into the device simply ensure that the thermostat can activate or turn on or off a pump and a zone valve (see Figure 5), in addition to starting up the boiler. Thus, using several COMPUTHERM E300-type Wi-Fi thermostats, a heating system can be easily divided into zones without a separate zone control system.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

LOCATION OF THE THERMOSTAT

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 does 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 product has been designed so that it can be installed most easily by sinking it in a 65 mm electric mounting box built in the wall (Figure 7).
IMPORTANT WARNING! If the radiator valves in your flat are equipped with a thermostat head then set the thermostat head to the 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 PUTTING IT INTO OPERATION

Attention! Make sure that the COMPUTHERM E300 thermo-stat 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!

Connection of the device(s) to be controlled

For controlling a one-zone heating/cooling system

The heating/cooling devices to be controlled should be connected to the terminal block located on rear side of the product. In the thermostat, there are two potential free relays whose nor-mally-opened connection points are at legends K1 COM-NO (3-4) and K2 (8-9) of the terminal block. When the thermostat gives a switch signal then it will switch both potential free relays and closes the two connection points of K1 COM-NO (3-4) and K2 (8-9) separately. The connection points for the room thermostat of the heating or cooling device(s) to be controlled must be connected here. (Figure 3).
If the device to be controlled has no thermostat connection point, the power supply cable of the device to be controlled should be cut off and connected to connection points K1 COM-NO (3-4) or K2 (8-9) of the thermostat (Figure 4).COMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (5)

For controlling a multi-zone heating/cooling system

Within the loadability limits the two parallel operating relays built in the thermostat make simultaneous actuation (open/close, start/stop) of other electrically operable fittings (e.g. zone valve, pump) possible, in addition to starting up the boiler. Thus, using several COMPUTER E300-type Wi-Fi thermostats, a heating system can be easily divided into zones without a separate zone control system. For example, if you wish to install several thermostats within a heating network, in addition to controlling the boiler the zone control (opening/closing various heating zones) can be ensured without a separate zone control system, by connect-ing boiler control outputs K1 COM-NO (3-4) in parallel and connecting zone valves to K2 (8-9) connections points of the thermostats (Figure 5).COMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (6)

The thermostat can be controlled by both a smartphone and a tablet with the help of the free application COMPUTHERM E Series. Application COMPUTHERM E Series can be downloaded to iOS and Android operating systems. The applications are accessible through the following link or using a QR code:

https://computherm.info/en/wi-fi_thermostatsCOMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (10)

Attention! In addition to English, the application is also available in Hungarian and Romanian languages and is automatically displayed in the language corresponding to the default settings of the phone (in case of default settings are other than these three languages, it is displayed in English).

Connecting the thermostat to a Wi-Fi network

To be able to control the device remotely, you need to connect it to the Internet via a Wi-Fi network. The already configured COMPUTHERM E300 can work according to a pre-set program without the need for a permanent Internet connection.
Attention! The thermostat can only be connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.

To complete the synchronization, follow these steps:

Connecting the thermostat to the application

Controlling the thermostat by multiple users
When several users wish to control the same thermostat after the thermostat has been put into operation the following steps should be carried out to add further users:

Attention! If you want to avoid other users can add your COMPUTHERM E300 thermostat to their phone applications, you can disable this operation as described in Sub-chapter 9.2.

BASIC OPERATION OF THE THERMOSTAT

When switched on, the thermostat controls the connected device(s) (e.g. gas boiler, pump) based on the measured and currently set (manually or programmed) temperature, the switching sensitivity of the thermostat (factory default ± 0.2 °C). This means that if the thermostat is set to heating mode and 22 °C, at a switching sensitivity of ±0.2 °C, the thermostat’s output re-lays K1 COM-NO (3-4) and K2 (8-9) will be closed separately. The connection points close at temperatures below 21.8 °C and open at temperatures above 22.2 °C (heating off). In cooling mode, the thermostat’s relays switch exactly the opposite way.
The closed status of the K1 COM-NO (3-4) and K2 (8-9) con-nection points of the output relays is indicated by theCOMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (13) orCOMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (14) icon on the device’s display and in the telephone application according to the selected operating mode.
Attention! Keep in mind that in case of a power outage, any setting of the thermostat will be stored on an external server therefore updating of data on the server takes a few seconds. Accordingly, when you modify some settings of the thermostat (operation-related settings, programming, set temperature, etc.) and the power supply of the device is interrupted within a few seconds, the modified settings will not necessarily be saved.

Selecting the temperature sensor (SEN)

Attention! This function is only available if the floor temperature sensor is connected to the thermostat.
During the use of the thermostat, the temperature sensor you want to use can be chosen. In the base case, the thermostat displays the measured temperature on the basis of the built-in temperature sensor and switches the set output(s) according to the set temperature. A floor temperature sensor can also be connected as described in Sub-chapter 6.2. If you have connected a floor temperature sensor, you have the following choices:

If you have connected also a floor temperature sensor to your thermostat and you have chosen the sensor of the thermostat so that the main sensor is the built-in temperature sensor, and you use the floor temperature sensor as a safety sensor (02 / In-s control, Out-s limit) then you can check the temperature measured by the floor temperature sensor in the application at the place shown in Figure 2. You can view this temperature on the thermostat by touchingCOMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (7) andCOMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (8) icons at the same time. Now the Floor Temperature appears instead of the room temperature on the display of the thermostat. The temperature displayed on the thermostat will return to room temperature approximately 10 seconds after you touched any button of the thermostat.

Selecting switching sensitivity (DIF)

Setting floor temperature limit (OSV) and corresponding switch sensitivity (FLD)

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 steps of 0.1 °C in comparison to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor, but the modification must not exceed ±3 °C.

Antifreezing (FRE)

When the anti-freezing 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 ±3 °C. When the temperature reaches 7 °C, normal operation of the output is restored (according to the set temperature).

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

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

Changing between heating and cooling modes (FUN)

You can easily switch between heating (00; factory default) and cooling (01) modes.
The connection points K1 COM-NO (3-4) and K2 (8-9) of the thermostat output relay close at a temperature below the set temperature in heating mode and at a temperature above the set temperature in cooling mode (taking into account the set switching sensitivity).

Restoring default setting (FAC)

All settings of the thermostat, except for date and time, will be restored to the factory setting. To restore the factory setting, after selecting the FAC setting option and tapping theCOMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- 28 button several times, switch over the appearing 08 setting to 00. Then tap theCOMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (20) button once to restore the factory setting. If you move on by tapping theCOMPUTHERM-E300-Programmable-Wi-Fi-Thermostat-fig- (20) button and leaving the FAC value at its default value (08) then the device will not return to the default setting but save the settings and exits the operation-related settings menu.
Attention! Keep in mind that in case of a power outage any setting of the thermostat will be stored on an external server, therefore updating of data on the server takes a few seconds. Accordingly, when you modify some settings of the thermostat (operation-related setting, programming, set temperature, etc.) and the power supply of the device is interrupted within a few seconds, the modified settings will not necessarily be saved.

SWITCHING BETWEEN ON AND OFF POSITIONS AND MODES OF THE DEVICE

The thermostat has the following 2 positions:

You can switch between off and on positions in the following way:

When the thermostat is off, the screen of the devices turns off and in the application, POWER-OFF lettering replaces measured and set temperatures, and the relay outputs of the device go into off (open) position. When the thermostat is on, the display of the device illuminates continuously. If you touch the touch buttons or modify the settings of the thermostat with the phone application, the light intensity on the thermostat gets higher for approx. 10 seconds then falls back to a basic level.

When the thermostat is on, it possesses the following 2 modes of operation:

Manual mode

You can switch between the modes in the following way:

The currently selected mode is indicated as follows:

The two modes are described in detail in the following sub-chapters.

Manual mode

In manual mode the thermostat maintains a preset temperature until the next intervention. If the room temperature is lower than that set on the thermostat, the output of the thermostat will switch on. If the room temperature is higher than that set on the thermostat, the output of the thermostat will switch off. The temperature to be maintained by the thermostat can be specified in 0.5 °C steps (the minimum and maximum values of the adjustable range are 5 °C and 99 °C, respectively).

The currently set temperature can be modified in the following way:

Programmed auto mode

Description of the programmed mode

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 steps.

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:

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

On the thermostat:

Attention! During programming, the switching times can only be changed so that they remain 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:

The temperature set in this way will remain in effect until the next program switching. The „Modifying temperature until the next switch in the program” mode is marked as follows:
