WHAT IS A PROGRAMMABLE ROOM THERMOSTAT? 
…an explanation for householders
(The following explanation applies to heating applications only)
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached.
So, a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to meet your particular needs.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating system, for example, the size of boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down. Turning a programmable room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.
The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with at the different times you have chosen, and then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set low temperatures first, say 18°C, and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the temperatures. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one programmable room thermostat to control the whole house. But you can have different temperatures in individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual radiators. If you don’t have TRVs, you should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time. You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, ‘Override’, ‘Advance’ or ‘Boost’. These are explained in the manufacturer’s instructions. Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat from working properly.

PLEASE RESPECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT! Take care to dispose of used batteries carefully.

STEP 2: Setting the Date and Time

To set the Date and Time:

• Move the slider switch to the DATE position. ‘SET THE DAY’ will be displayed on the screen and the day digits will be flashing.
• Use the buttons to set the correct day. When either of these buttons are pressed ‘DAY OK?’ will be displayed. Once the correct day is reached, press the green button to confirm.
• Now the month digits will start flashing and ‘SET THE MONTH’ will be displayed. Change the month and then the year using the buttons, pressing the green button to save any changes made. (If an invalid date has been entered you will be returned to the start of the date setting mode).
• After setting a valid date, the time digits will begin flashing and ‘SET THE TIME’ will be displayed.
• Use the buttons to set the correct time. Each press of the button will change the time by one minute and holding the button down will change the time slowly at first and get progressively quicker. Once the correct time is set, press the green button to confirm then ‘CHANGES SAVED’ will be displayed for a moment followed by ‘DATE COMPLETE’.
  Note: If the slider switch is moved at any time before ‘DATE COMPLETE’ is displayed the changes to the date and time will NOT be saved.

STEP 3: Running the Built-in Heating Program

The thermostat is now ready for operation. Move the slider switch to the AUTO position and the built-in heating program will start running. The built-in heating program has been designed to provide normal comfort requirements, but if you want to customise the default settings (as shown on the next page) please see the next section ‘PROGRAMMING THE CM927’.

The Built-in Heating Program
The built-in heating program has 6 temperature level changes per day that can be set between 3.00am and 2.50am the following day – allowing you to maintain the evening temperature after midnight. Each temperature level can be set between 5°C and 35°C, and adjusted in 0.5°C increments. The factory default program for heating is as follows:

Monday to Friday

Period	1	2	3	4	5	6
Time	6:30	8:00	12:00	14:00	18:00	22:30

The active period is highlighted by a flashing square symbol around the numbers at the bottom of the screen and the selected day is flashing in the top left hand corner of the screen.
• To adjust the period start time press the buttons and ‘TIME 1 OK?’ will be displayed. Holding the button down will change the time quickly.
  Note: If you are pressing the buttons and the display flashes the next change period, it means the next change will be pushed forward if you continue to press or buttons).
• Press the green button to confirm the setting. ‘CHANGES SAVED’ is displayed for 1.5 seconds then ‘SET TEMP 1’ will be shown.
  Note: If the original time setting did not require adjustment press the green button to move on to step ‘d.’
• The next time and temperature period will now be active. Adjust this by repeating steps b – e above until all 6 periods are set for Monday or move the slider switch to the AUTO position to run the program as set, at any time.
• After setting period 6 ‘CHANGES SAVED’ will be displayed as before, followed by ‘DAY COMPLETE’.
  You now have a choice of how to set the program for the next day:
• To COPY the Monday’s program to another day:
  Press the COPY DAY button to copy Monday’s program into Tuesday. The display will go blank apart from ‘COPY MON TO’, indicating the program for Monday will be copied to the selected target day, which is flashing in the top left corner of the display. To select a different target day press the DAY button to cycle through the days. Once the required day is flashing accept it by pressing the green button. Note: Once the target day is confirmed it becomes the day that is copied if the COPY DAY button is pressed again.
  OR
  To program a different day:
  Press the DAY button to select the next day, which is displayed in the top left corner of the display. The program for that day can then be adjusted by following steps b – g above. Programs for the remaining days can be set in the same way, using the DAY button to move to the next day.
• To exit the programming mode move the slider switch to the desired operating mode – AUTO, MAN or OFF. Note: To run the adjusted program select the AUTO mode.
  Note: If the unit is left in programming mode for more than 10 minutes without the slider being moved or any buttons pressed, ‘MOVE THE SLIDER’ will be displayed. Press a button to finish programming the thermostat or move the slider to select the desired operating mode.

Disabling / Enabling Time Periods

The thermostat has 6 periods each day that can be programmed, but you may not need all of these switch points for your heating requirements. Therefore, any period from 2 to 6 can be disabled or enabled as follows:

To disable time periods:
Go to the desired period ( 2 to 6 ) by moving the slider switch to the PROG position, then using the , and DAY buttons to navigate, ensuring the correct period is highlighted with the flashing square symbol.

How do I change the batteries on the CM927 when they run out?
The thermostat constantly monitors the battery power level, which typically last for about 2 years before needing replaced. When the power is running low a flashing symbol will be displayed on the screen. To change the batteries follow the steps in the above section (‘STEP 1: Installing the Batteries’ on page 3), replacing the used batteries with new ones in step c.
Note: While changing the batteries your program settings will be stored but you may need to adjust the time and date settings to be correct.

How do I set one temperature for the whole day?
To operate as a simple thermostat with one temperature for a period of time, move the slider switch to the MAN position. Adjust the manual temperature by pressing the
or buttons. This can be set anywhere from 5°C to 35°C in 0.5°C steps. The thermostat will continue to maintain this temperature until another operating mode is selected or the temperature is adjusted.

What is Optimum Start?
Optimum Start is a program which ensures that the optimum temperature conditions are achieved at the required times. This is an Energy Efficiency feature that adjusts the start time of your heating system depending upon how cold it is. For example, on cold days your heating system will be started earlier to ensure that your home is warm when you get up (at the target temperature) and on warmer days the heating system will be started later to save energy. So, if the Optimum Start Feature is used, then the time/temperature settings which are entered into the thermostat should be set to when you want to be warm by and not when you want the heating system to start.

I want to use the table stand instead of wall mounted bracket. Where can I position the room unit?
It is important to keep the room unit in a location where reliable RF communication was proven. Advise your installer where would you like to position the room unit and he will check if the RF communication is reliable in the selected location(s).
Important: The Room Unit measures the temperature of the room where it is located. It is important that the placement of the Room Unit within the room is away from; draughts, direct sunlight and other heat sources. As this is a wireless device certain objects could interfere with the RF signal – Leave at least 30cm distance from any metal objects (including wall boxes) and at least 1 metre from any other electrical equipment eg. radio, TV, PC, etc.

How do I remove the thermostat from the table stand or wall bracket?
After programming is finished always replace the thermostat back on the wall holder or table stand.
