4-WIRE INSTALLATION

• Place all the wires into the connection box
• Align the little slots located on the top of the thermostat with those on the mounting base and secure the thermostat to the mounting base. Note that you can also position the thermostat on the left or the right side of the junction box (see below). Then tighten the screw at the bottom of the unit.

OPERATION

Ambient temperature
The temperature is displayed either in °C with a 0.5 °C resolution or in °F with a 1 °F resolution. The screen will display LO if the temperature drops below 0 °C (32 °F) and will display HI if the temperature rises above 50 °C (122 °F).

Temperature setpoints
The setpoint may be edited by the user using the UP and DOWN buttons located on the thermostat. The setpoint may also be modified through the ZigBee network. The minimum setpoint is 5 °C (41 °F) and the maximum setpoint is 30 °C (86 °F).

NOTE: if the setpoint is set at 7 °C (45 °F) or below, the frost warning icon will be displayed to warn the user that water pipes might be subject to freezing. Heating power indicator Whenever the thermostat is actively heating the room, the heating status graph will display the heating percentage.

• No bar: 0%
• bar: 1-25%
• bars: 26-50%
• bars: 51-75%
• bars: 76-100%

Thermostat mode

The thermostat has three modes: Comfort, Eco and Off. The first two modes have their own preestablished setpoint. Comfort: 21 °C (70 °F), Eco ( ): 17 °C (63 °F). The user may change the setpoint to any value in the range described in the setpoint section. When the Eco mode is active, the Eco icon ( ) is displayed on the LCD. When the Off mode is active, the frost warning icon is displayed on the LCD and the setpoint is replaced by ( — ). The thermostat mode may be changed locally on the thermostat by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for less than 3 seconds while on the main screen. The Eco setpoint is local to the thermostat and cannot be edited through the ZigBee network. If a setpoint change is sent through the ZigBee network, the thermostat mode will automatically switch to Comfort mode.

NOTE 1: Even in Off mode , the thermostat is still powered and electric shock is still possible. Always cut off the power supply when cleaning or removing the thermostat.

NOTE 2: When in Off mode , the thermostat will not activate the heating element, therefore there is a risk of freezing.

Heating mode
The thermostat has two heating modes: Baseboard/convector heater and Fan-forced heater. The Baseboard/convector heater mode will drive the load with a 15-second cycle while the Fan-forced heater mode will drive the load with a 5-minute cycle. When the Fan-forced heater mode is selected, the fan icon is displayed on the thermostat.

ZigBee connectivity ( )
If the thermostat is associated to a ZigBee network, the connectivity icon will be displayed on the LCD, if the device is removed from a ZigBee network, the connectivity icon will disappear. The connectivity icon may blink if there is an issue with the ZigBee radio circuit.
