ROOM THERMOSTAT PLACEMENT

Room Thermostat needs to be placed in the room which is used most frequently. For instance; living room or lounge. Placing the Room Thermostat in a spot that have air circulation like entrance of a room or side of window should be avoided. Also anywhere close to heating/cooling units such as radiator, stove and spots which get direct sun lights would not be suitable. Room Thermostat needs to be located above the floor 150 cm height. Few trials may be made to find the most convenient spot.

MODE SETTING

GENERAL-LIFE-300S-Wired-Room-Thermostat-fig-11

Your Room Thermostat has 5 different modes. 3 of them (Comfort, Economy and Holiday Mode) are preset modes. Other modes are manual mode and weekly program mode.
In preset modes, temperature values are based on user’s choices which have been set in the beginning. Manual mode allows the Room Thermostat to operate within the temperature which is required and set directly by user. Weekly Program mode continues to work according to the weekly schedule determined by the user.
In order to change the temperature values of preset modes:

  • Press and hold the “Mode” button for 3 seconds while your Room Thermostat is on.
  • Comfort Mode temperature value will appear. You may adjust the temperature value of Comfort Mode by pressing the “Up” and “Down” buttons.
  • When setting is done, you may adjust the temperature value of Economy Mode with the “Up” and “Down” buttons by pressing the “Mode” button again.
  • You may exit the setting screen by pressing the “Mode” button 3 seconds.
  • In order to change the manual mode temperature, press the “Up” or “Down” button while in the main screen. The Room Thermostat will switch to Manual Mode once pressed the “Up” or “Down” button.
  • You may press the “Mode” button to switch to the other modes.

WEEKLY PROGRAM
You may set the operating schedule of your Room Thermostat with weekly program mode. 7 different temperature values can be set for each day in weekly programming. These values can be set in temperature adjustment screens ” P0-P6”.

  • In order to set the weekly schedule, press and hold the “Weekly Program“ button for 3 seconds while your Room Thermostat is on. The “Hour, Minute and Day” setting will appear. Press the “Heating & Cooling Option” button until the “Weekly Program” menu (P0) appears.

TPI ROOM THERMOSTAT WORKING LOGIC
Your Room Thermostat works with the TPI algorithm. Room Thermostats using TPI technology predict when the temperature of your home will rise above or below the set temperature and turn the heating/cooling unit on and off accordingly. This ensures that your home stays at the temperature you set without maximum deviations up and down.

  • What is TPI?
    TPI technology is designed to ensure that you get the best possible energy efficiency from your heating/cooling system. It measures and applies the best possible timings to deliver and maintain your home at the set temperature level.

  • How does TPI work?
    Thanks to the advanced artificial intelligence technology found in the software, it adapts to the temperature change of the environment in which it is located. By creating a general temperature map of your home, it learns how long it takes to reach the desired room temperature and how to maintain this temperature. In this way, it provides minimum energy consumption by calculating how long your heating/cooling unit should work for.

  • What is the difference?
    In non-TPI room thermostats, the heating/cooling unit works and stops continuously until it exceeds the set temperature value. If the set temperature drops below a certain amount, the heating/cooling unit will work again. This creates greater temperature fluctuations and less energy control. TPI Room Thermostats, on the other hand, provide higher savings and comfort compared to On/Off room thermostats with the advantages it has.

Heating Mode
Your room thermostat takes the average room temperature of last 40 seconds as basis. With the TPI algorithm in the product by creating a general temperature map of your home, it learns how long it takes to reach the desired room temperature and how this temperature is maintained. Thus, it ensures that the room temperature remains within a certain range.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT TPI ROOM THERMOSTAT

If the placement of the TPI Room Thermostats is changed, the learning process will restart. The learning process should be considered as 7 days. If the TPI Room Thermostats are de-energized (battery replacement), the learning process will restart. The learning process should be considered as 7 days.
