Information about the device

Device description
The thermostat BN30 enables the temperature control of heating devices and air conditioners from 5 °C to 49 °C. To this end, simply plug the socket thermostat in between the  heating device or air conditioner and a socket, and select the desired temperature. Via its integrated sensors, the device measures the current room temperature and regulates  the heating device or air conditioner according to the desired nominal value.
The extremely simple handling and programming of the device enable a multitude of possible applications – for example, the device is particularly well suited for mobile heaters.
The respective current room temperature can be read from the large display.
The device is also power failure-proof thanks to an integrated EEPROM.

Transport and storage

Note
If you store or transport the device improperly, the device may be damaged.
Note the information regarding transport and storage of the device.

Transport
For transporting the device, use the bag included in the scope of delivery in order to protect the device from external influences.

Storage
When the device is not being used, observe the following storage conditions:

• dry and protected from frost and heat
• protected from dust and direct sunlight
• with a cover to protect it from invasive dust if necessary
• The storage temperature is the same as the range given in the Technical data chapter.

Operation

The target temperature value is preset to 20 °C by default and the device starts in heating mode.

Switching the device on

1. Plug the device into a properly fused socket.
2. Connect the terminal device.
3. Press the power button (4).
   ⇨ The device is switched on.
   ⇨ The power symbol (12) does not appear on the display.

Setting the mode
Note :
If the desired temperature is lower than the room temperature, please use the cooling mode. If the desired temperature is  higher than the room temperature, please use the  heating mode.
✓ The device is switched off.

1. Press the DOWN button (3) for approx. 5 s to switchbetween heating and cooling mode.

Changing the unit °C / °F
✓The device is switched on.

1. Press the SET button (1) for approx. 5 s to change the temperature unit from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit or vice versa.

Setting the target temperature value
Cooling mode:
In cooling mode the target temperature value should be 2 °C below the room temperature, otherwise the plug adapter will not be switched on by the device. If the room  temperature is smaller than the set value, the device switches the plug adapter off.
✓ Cooling mode is switched on.

1. Press the buttons UP (2) or DOWN (3) to set the target temperature.
   ⇨ The SET indication (10) flashes.

2. Wait until the SET indication (10) no longer flashes.
   ⇨ The set value is saved.
   ⇨ The cooling mode indication (8) flashes.
   ⇨ After approx. one minute the device switches on the plug adapter.

Heating mode:
In heating mode the target temperature value should be 1 °C  above the room temperature, otherwise the plug adapter will not be switched on by the device. If the room  temperature is larger than the set value, the device switches the plug adapter off.
✓ Heating mode is switched on.

1. Press the buttons UP (2) or DOWN (3) to set the target temperature.
   ⇨ The SET indication (10) flashes.

2. Wait until the SET indication (10) no longer flashes.
   ⇨ The set value is saved.
   ⇨ The heating mode indication (9) flashes.
   ⇨ After approx. one minute the device switches on the plug adapter.

Setting the room temperature offset
Note:
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead to condensation forming on the device’s circuit board. This physical and unavoidable effect can falsify the  measurement. In this case, the display shows either no measured values or they are incorrect. Wait a few minutes until the device has become adjusted to the changed conditions  before carrying out a measurement.
With this device it is possible to set an offset value (zero offsetof the temperature curve). This can be useful when the ambient temperature measured by the thermostat after a  period of acclimatization still deviates excessively with regard to an existing, precise reference thermometer.
✓The device is switched off.

1. Press the SET button (1) for approx. 5 s to access the settings menu.
   ⇨ The SET indication (10) flashes.

2. Press the buttons UP (2) or DOWN (3) to set the offset.

3. Once the offset is adjusted, return to the ambient temperature display by pressing the SET button (1) several times. In doing so, skip various menu items which are irrelevant  for the device at hand.

Switching the device off

1. Press the power button (4).
   ⇨ The OFF indication (12) appears on the display.
   ⇨ The plug adapter is switched off regardless of the target value and current room temperature

Maintenance and repair

Cleaning
Clean the device with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make sure that no moisture enters the housing. Do not use any sprays, solvents, alcohol-based cleaning agents or abrasive  cleaners, but only clean water to moisten the cloth.
