  • entering, by means of the smartphone and “APP Connect’, the credentials of your WiFi network (that will be used by the “Module WFC01” during its operation)
  • choosing a password to allow smartphones (yours and any other one) to access the control functions of boiler and system

• then, the Hotspot of the “Module WFOO]” is disabled and the communication between the smartphone and “APP Connect Kit occurs via WEB and through your Wif network

“APP Connect” installation

install the “BIASI Connect suitable tor your operating system (from Google Play Store o Apple App Store, see also APP compatibility on page l1)

System control

IMPORTANT: Remember that the default and main control device of the system is always the Remote Control and not the APP on the smartphone

The control through APP is always temporary (timed). The system will always go back to the operation based on the settings of the Remote Control at the end of the activation time. The activation and timing can be changed at any moment: see the Activation and timing of the device on page 16 for details.

APP start-up and information

• At start-up, the APP shows the system’s current status (or the status of the last system/ “Module WFC01” connected, if connections to several devices have been configured)

• Different system’s values can be viewed and
  edited, such as the set ambient temperature

• A blank screen (data not shown) indicates that the “Module WFC01” of the system is already connected to another smartphone. After a very short time, during which the APP tries to establish a connection, the information that the device is busy, is displayed

• The APP is easy to use and intuitive. The function of the main symbols/buttons is explained below

The home page and side menu closed

There are 3 main functions or menus:

“Module WFC01” and select other devices, if available

Other controls and/or indicators

from the App commands can be sent from the
| smartphone to the “Module WFC01”.
When a device is enabled in an APP, it will not be available for any other smartphone connected at a later stage, which will show a blank screen.
| Internet -Indicates that the APP  is connected to the “Module WFC01” via the Internet (the WiFi home network to which the “Module WFC01” is connected does not reach the smartphone)
| WiFi – Indicates that the APP is connected to the “Module WFC01” via the WiFi home network

Activation and timing of the device Activation

Click on , the following menu options:
Select the type of activation and click on the checkmark button :

• “Enable device”: allows you to temporarily check the activation of the device. Warning: when the APP is closed, the device will be disabled;

• “Enable device” sets, without any other step necessary, a 24-hour default time starting from the moment the command is given;
• “Cancel timing” forces the system to be immediately controlled by the Remote Control again;
• “Activate device timing” allows setting a different timing starting from the current moment

At the end of activation time, the button is again .

Alarms

Boiler’s alarms
If the system “Module W FC01” Kit – APP – Remote Control is working, the APP will show the symbol on the side drop-down menu. By clicking it, the alarm code “E…” will show, with a short description and some instructions.

On the boilers handbook, you’ll find a dedicated paragraph and a table that Isis the possible alarms and relevant, more detailed instructions.

We suggest you read it and call the Assistance Service whenever you have difficulty solving the problem with the procedures reserved for the User.

Note: as in all cases of malfunctioning of any device, the alarms provide an indication of the most probable cause (to be investigated first) but not exclusive of other problems, to be fixed by the Technician.

Kit-related alarms: E91 – E94

In case of failure of the system Kit BOX WFC – APP –

Remote Control, the APP will show the symbol on the side drop-down menu. By clicking it, one of the alarms listed below will show, with a short description and some instructions.

E91 This alarm showing on the APP can be triggered by different causes. Please, look at the boiler’s display and read the alarm code shown on it:

• if the alarm E91 is present on the boiler’s display too, means that the error is specific to the boiler and therefore it is necessary to refer to its instruction booklet

E94 This alarm showing on the APP can be triggered by different causes. Please, look at the boiler’s display and read the alarm code shown on it:

if no error code is displayed on the boiler, the problem is probably located on the link (interrupted or subject to noise) between the “Module WFC01” and the Remote Control (see also Electrical connections on page 12). In case of interruption, the Remote Control’s display should be off;
