Description of the parameters
Parameter 2 –
Selecting the preset time programs

• Week program 1 (factory setting, 2 switching points):
  Mo – Su at home all day This time program is described in Section 5.

• Week program 2 (6 switching points):
  Mo – Fr at home in the lunch break Sa – Su like Week program 1

• Week program 3 (4 switching points):
  Mo – Fr working half-time
  Sa – Su like Week program 1

Parameter 3 – Backlight
The display has a backlight in order to facilitate reading of information.

• The backlight is activated when the adjustment dial moves or a button is pressed.
• The backlight switches off if no action is carried out at the radiator controller for approx. 7 seconds in order to save energy.
  Parameters 5 to 7 – Window function
  In order to save energy the radiator controller closes the radiator valve when you open a window resulting in a sudden drop of the temperature.

When you close the window so that the temperature rises the radiator controller opens the radiator valve again. If you should ever forget to close the window, the radiator controller opens automatically after the set time in order to ensure frost protection.
Parameter 8 – Valve stroke
The radiator controller operates with the optimum valve stroke set in the factory.
If the entire valve stroke is to be used or if the valve does not close completely, activate the full-stroke mode.
Parameter 9 – temperature representation in the display

• In the factory setting the set or programmed temperature (Comfort temperature 1, 2 or the Conserve temperature) is displayed.
• With the setting “measured temperature” the measured room temperature is displayed. A changeover to the set temperature is carried out by turning the adjustment dial or pressing a button.
  If required, the temperature can now be reset. The display returns to the measured temperature after approx. 3 seconds.

Parameter 12 – optimisation function
Without optimisation (factory setting) the radiator controller begins to raise or lower the room temperature at the programmed time. In order to have the bathroom warm at 7:00, the switching point must be preponed, otherwise heating would start only at 7:00. Possibly the switching point is preponed too much, so that heating starts much earlier than actually needed. With optimisation the room has already reached the desired temperature at the programmed beginning since the radiator controller has begun to raise or lower the room temperature at an optimal time.

• Optimum start
  The room is heated up at an optimum moment to reach the programmed temperature.

• Optimum start/stop:
  The room is heated up at an optimum moment and cooled down earlier.

Parameter 13 – temperature offset Since the radiator controller measures the room temperature in the area of the radiator, it is possible that this temperature deviates from the temperature measured at a different point in the room.
If, for example, 20 °C is measured in the room and at the radiator 21.5 °C, this effect can be compensated by an offset of –1.5 °C. The display at the radiator controller remains unchanged. Parameter 15 – Display of the valve position When this parameter is activated (setting “1”), the calculated valve position is displayed (0 to 100% opened) briefly.
The main display is shown again after approx. 3 minutes or when the AUTO button is pressed.
Changing parameters

1. Keep the PROG button pressed for at least 10 seconds until Parameter 1 flashes (left-hand digit). The right-hand digit shows the current setting.
   The parameter is displayed additionally in plain text.
   For example, the display 1 1 stands for Parameter 1 (language) with Setting 1 (German).

2. If desired, use the adjustment dial to select a different parameter (left-hand digit).

3. Press the OK button to edit the parameter. The current setting of the parameter flashes (right hand digit).

4. Use the adjustment dial to set the desired setting (right-hand digit) and confirm with OK .

5. The parameter being edited flashes (left-hand digit).

6. For the further parameters repeat Steps 2 to 4.

7. Use the AUTO button to return to automatic mode.

Further functions

Monitoring functions
Window function
If you open a window causing the temperature to drop, the radiator controller closes the radiator valve in order to save energy. window is displayed.
When the temperature rises again, but at the latest after the set period (factory setting: 30 minutes), the radiator controller opens the radiator valve again. You can also open the radiator valve beforehand by pressing the AUTO button or turning the adjustment dial.
The sensitivity of the radiator controller to a temperature drop or temperature rise can be set, see Section 9, Parameters 5 to 7.
Valve protection
If the radiator valve has not been opened completely for 2 weeks, a self test is carried out. The radiator controller opens the radiator valve briefly on the subsequent.
Monday in order to prevent seizing. cycl is displayed. Frost protection If the temperature drops below 5 °C, the radiator controller opens the radiator valve until the temperature rises above 6 °C again. This prevents the heating from freezing up. frost is displayed.
The heating may not be switched off. Otherwise the radiator controller cannot carry out the frost protection function.
Summer break
If you have switched off the central heating system in summer and do not want to waste the batteries of the radiator controller, you can close the radiator valve continuously.
Closing the valve

1. Press the button AUTO/ECO/MANU until manualis displayed.
2. Turn the adjustment dial anti-clockwise until off isdisplayed.
   The radiator valve now remains closed. The valve and frost protection function remains active.

Opening the valve
Use the AUTO/ECO/MANU button to change to automatic mode.
– or – Set the desired temperature in manual operation.
Child-proofing / operation lock
You can block the radiator controller to protect it against unauthorised operation:
Keep the AUTO/ECO/MANU and PROG buttons pressed simultaneously for at least 3 seconds.
The symbol is displayed.
The same key combination is used to release the radiator controller again for operation.
