Transport and Storage

The vindo TH thermostat must be handled with care during transport and storage to avoid damage. It should be stored in its original packaging in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight.

Installation

1. Turn off the heating system and disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the existing thermostat from its position.
3. Attach the vindo TH thermostat to the valve using the fixing nut provided.
4. Turn on the heating system and adjust the temperature to the desired level using the setting mark and handwheel.

Cleaning
The Vindo TH thermostat should be cleaned regularly to maintain its functionality. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the surface of the device. Do not use abrasive materials or solvents that could damage the device.
Disposal
The vindo TH thermostat should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations for electronic waste. Do not dispose of the device in household waste.

Safety-related information

Intended use
Operational safety is only guaranteed if the product is used as intended. The thermostat is intended to be fitted on a thermostatic valve in hot water central heating systems or cooling systems to control the room temperature. Any use beyond and/or different from this is considered unintended use. Claims of any kind against the manufacturer and/or his authorized representatives for damage resulting from unintended use cannot be recognized. Intended use also includes correct compliance with these instructions.
Warnings
Each warning contains the following elements:
Warning symbol SIGNAL WORD

Technical data

Transport and storage

• Temperature range -10 °C to +50 °C
• Relative air humidity max. 95 % non-condensing
• Particles Store in a dry and dust-protected place
• Mechanical influences Protected from mechanical shock
• Radiation Protected from UV rays and direct sunlight
• Chemical influences Do not store together with solvents, chemicals, acids, fuels, or similar substances

Installation

CAUTION Risk of burns on hot components! Touching hot components can cause burns.

• Allow the system to cool down.
• Wear safety gloves.

A prerequisite for correct control is that the room air can flow freely around the thermostat.

1. Turn the handwheel (position 5 in Fig. 1 on page 5) anticlockwise until Figure “5” (position 4 in Fig. 1 on page 5) is aligned with the setting mark (position 2 in Fig. 1 on page 5). This will cause the tappet in the thermostat to be fully retracted
2. Align the thermostat so that the setting mark points upwards or is clearly visible.
3. Screw the thermostat with the fixing nut (position 1 in Fig. 1 on page 5) onto the thread of the thermostatic valve. Tighten the fixing nut firmly.

Operation

The setting of the temperature
To set the desired room temperature, turn the handwheel (position 5 in Fig. 1 on page 5) until the desired figure (position 4 in Fig. Fig. 1 on page 5) is aligned with the setting mark (position 2 in Fig. 1 on page 5). Note the correspondence between the respective figures and the desired room temperature in Fig. 2 on page 6.

Lowering the temperature
To save heating costs, you should lower the room temperature, e.g. at night or during longer absences. When the frost protection setting is selected, the thermostat opens the valve a little to preventthe fitting and system components from freezing when the room temperature drops below 7 °C. f Set the thermostat to position.
Complete shutoff: f To shut off the thermostat completely, set the handwheel to the “0” position.
NOTICE: Damage to the fitting due to freezing! In the “0” position, the fitting may freeze if the room temperature falls below freezing. ! Use the frost protection setting when the room temperature may drop below freezing.
Airing
Use the frost protection setting while airing your room.
Limitation of the control range
For the desired room temperature control, the thermostat has two limiting elements (position 3 in Fig. 1 on page 5) with which the comfort range can be set individually. The thermostat can be limited to any graduation line, any figure, and the frost protection setting.
Example: The desired room temperature control range should be between approx. 16 °C (figure “2”) and approx  24 °C (figure “4”). The limiting elements are accessible from the outside, inside the handwheel between Figure “5” and “0”.

1. Turn the handwheel until a figure within the desired control range is aligned with the setting mark.
2. Push the limiting elements out of the handwheel with a suitable tool or e.g. a ball pen.
   • Fig. 3: Removal of the limiting elements
3. For the lower limitation of the control range, e.g. to figure “2”, insert a limiting element into the groove before figure “2”. (The groove directly opposite figure“2” thus remains free.)
   • Fig. 4: Lower limitation of the control range
4. For the upper limitation of the control range, e.g. to figure “4”, insert a limiting element into the groove after figure “4”. (The groove directly opposite figure “4” thus remains free.)
   • Fig. 5: Upper limitation of the control range f To cancel the limitations, slide the limiting elements out of the respective lower and upper position and reinsert them in the position between figures “5” and “0”.

Blocking of a setting
The thermostat can be blocked on any graduation line, any figure, and the frost protection setting. If a setting is to be blocked, e.g. to figure “3” (approx. 20 °C), i.e. if no accidental temperature change is to take place, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the handwheel until the desired figure is aligned with the setting mark.
2. Push the limiting elements out of the handwheel with a suitable tool or e.g. a ball pen.
3. Insert the limiting elements into the grooves to the left and right of the figure.
   • Fig. 6: Blocking To cancel the blocking, slide the limiting elements out of the respective position and reinsert them in the position between figures “5” and “0”. 101306684-

Cleaning

NOTICE
Aggressive cleaning agents can damage the surface of the thermostat! Do not use scouring powder or plastic-dissolving cleaning agents for cleaning. ! Clean the surface of the thermostat with a soft cloth if necessary. In case of heavy soiling, lightly moisten the cloth in water with mild detergent.
Disposal
NOTICE: Risk of environmental pollution! Incorrect disposal can lead to environmental damage.

• Dispose of packaging materials in an environmentally friendly manner.
• If possible, recycle the components.
