AURATON Auriga Temperature Controller

The document contains information on the safety, installation and use of the AURATON Auriga device.

A daily, wired temperature controller
AURATON Auriga is a daily, wired temperature controller designed to work with a gas or electric heating device.

Choosing the right location for AURATON Auriga

FIG 6

The correct operation of AURATON Auriga is largely influenced by its location. Location in a place with no air circulation or direct sunlight may result in incorrect temperature control. AURATON Auriga should be installed on the internal wall of the building (partition wall), in an environment with free air circulation. Avoid the proximity of heat emitting devices (TV, heater, refrigerator) or locations exposed to direct sunlight. Problems in proper operation may be caused by the vicinity of the door, exposing AURATON Auriga to possible vibrations.

Connecting the cables to the AURATON Auriga

To connect the wires, remove the cover as shown below:

The cable clamps are located on the back of the AURATON Auriga, under the plastic cover.

It is a typical single-pole two-state relay. In most cases, the NC terminal is not used.

NOTE:
After connecting the wires, put the plastic cover back on.

Installing / replacing the battery

The battery socket is located inside the regulator on the front of the housing. To install the batteries, remove the controller housing as shown in the chapter “Connecting the cables to the AURATON Auriga”.

NOTE:
We recommend alkaline batteries to power AURATON controllers. Do not use rechargeable batteries because the rated voltage is too low.

FIG 10 Installing or replacing the battery

1- battery socket 2 x AAA 1.5V
Insert two AAA 1.5V batteries into the battery socket, paying attention to the correct polarity of the batteries.

NOTE:
After replacing the battery and assembling the housing, we recommend pressing the button twice in order to stabilize the relay operation.

Mounting AURATON Auriga – a daily, wired temperature controller

To fix the AURATON Auriga controller to the wall:

  1. Remove the cover (as shown in the section “Connecting the cables to the AURATON Auriga”).
  2. Drill two holes 6 mm in diameter in the wall (mark the spacing between the holes using the back part of the controller housing).
  3. Put the wall plugs in the drilled holes.
  4. Screw the rear part of the controller housing to the wall using the screws included in the kit.
  5. Put the regulator housing back on.

NOTE:
In the case of a wooden wall, there is no need to use expansion bolts. It is enough to drill holes with a diameter of 2.7 mm (instead of 6 mm) and screw the screws directly into the wood.

1 – fixing screw hole.

Putting the cover on: NOTE
When putting the front part of the housing back on the rear part, pay attention to the pins that control the relay.

ATTENTION:
When assembling the housing, make sure that the connection “pins” are not bent and fall into their place on the relay board. This is crucial for the proper operation of AURATON Auriga.

First launch of AURATON Auriga

After the batteries are correctly inserted into the sockets, all segments (display test) will appear on the LCD display for a second, followed by the software version number. After a while, the current room temperature will be displayed automatically. AURATON Auriga is ready for operation.

Temperature setting

NOTE:
The first pressing of any function button always turns on the backlight, and only the next call of the button function.

Setting the “temporary temperature reduction” mode

FIG 16 temporary temperature reduction

NOTE:
The “temporary temperature reduction” mode always starts when the function is turned on. This means that any temporary temperature reduction should be programmed at a time when we want such a change to take place.

Hysteresis change

The hysteresis is to prevent too frequent switching on of the actuator due to small temperature fluctuations.

For example, for the HI 2 hysteresis, when the temperature is set to 20 ° C, switching on will take place at 19.8 ° C, and switching off at 20.2 ° C. For the HI 4 hysteresis, when the temperature is set to 20 ° C, switching on will take place at 19.6 ° C, and switching off at 20.4 ° C.

FIG 18 Hysteresis change

PWM operating mode

(Pulse-Width Modulation)
By changing the hysteresis settings (chapter “Configuration settings”), we can turn on the PWM operating mode.

In this mode, AURATON Auriga cyclically switches on the heating device in order to minimize temperature fluctuations. AURATON Auriga checks the temperature rise times and the temperature drop times.

Knowing these values, AURATON Auriga turns the heating device on and off in such cycles to keep the temperature as close as possible to the set value.

  1. Temperature
  2. Time
  3. Set temperature
  4. Room temperature

NOTE:
In PWM mode, AURATON Auriga can turn on the heating device despite the fact that the temperature in the room is higher than the set temperature. This is due to the PWM algorithm that aims to maintain the set temperature and anticipate the behavior of the thermal system.

Delay in switching on the relay
After the heating device is turned off, the relay will be turned on again not earlier than after 90 seconds .
