HEATING IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE FLOOR SENSOR ONLY.
Read this section on automated program settings fully before trying to program the thermostat.
- NOTE: The thermostat does not turn on or off it simply changes the set / desired temperature 6 times per day on a 7 day cycle.
- NOTE: When programming the thermostat you must work in a linear time line from zone 1 – 6 and not jump back and forward in time.
- NOTE: If you do not want the heating to come on in any part of the day / zone simply set a low temperature for that zone and the thermostat will not turn the heating on unless the temperature drops below the set temperature.
- NOTE: For ease of programming you can select a 5+2 (factory default),6+1 or 7 day cycle setting. For more information on this or how to change see advanced options A6.
- NOTE: When programing the thermostat if the screen is left untouched for 10 seconds the thermostat will save changes made and revert back to the home screen. This
time can be increased in advanced options A – A5 up to 30 seconds before the thermostat saves and reverts back to home screen if more time is needed.
START: To program each zone hold down SET for 5 seconds and the time will
flash and zone 1 will appear in top right corner. The times and temperatures
you put into the next 6 zones will be copied across to all days showing across
the top right of the screen. Follow the next 3 steps below to work through and
set all 6 zones for these days without delay, (it can be helpful to have your
time and temperatures for all zones written down first).
NOTE: If you have selected 0 (=5+2) in advanced setting A – A6 you will
have days 12345 showing across top right of screen at this stage, if you
selected option 1 (=6+1) you will have days 123456 showing or if you selected
optio 2 (=7) you will have days 1234567 showing. The times and temperatures
you put into the next 6 zones will be copied across to all days showing on
your screen. In step 5 below you will compete the missing days 6,7 or 7 if you
selected options 0 or 1 in advanced options A – A6
- Change the hours using UP/DOWN buttons for when you want to wake up (zone 1 time) and tap SET to move to minutes.
- Minutes will flash next, change these again for when you want to wake (zone 1 time) and once correct tap SET to move to temprature.
- Set temperature will now flash. Change the temperature to the desired temperature and tap SET again to move / set up next zone..
- You will now see Zone 2 appear in the top right and the hours will be washing again. Repeat steps 1 – 3 above for all 6 zones. # If you selected option 0 (=5+2) or 1 (=6+1) in advanced option A – A6 go to instruction step 5 below. # If you selected option 2 (=7) in advanced options A – A6 you are finished.
- Once you complete zone 6 and tap SET you will now see zone 1 reappear top right but the days will change to weekend days. Days 6+7 or only 7 will now be showing. You now need to repeat steps 1-3 above for all 6 zones. These are your weekend zone settings. These days are typically programmed differently to the weekday zone settings.
- Once you have completed time and temperature for all 6 zones for the weekend days simply tap SET and you have finished.
To use the automated mode simply make sure the AUTO symbol is showing and the time and day is correct. The below diagram / table gives a general idea on how we would suggest programming your thermostats 6 zone times and tempratures daily cycle.
