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.

PLACEMENT

BATTERY PLACEMENT
As shown in the picture above, press the screwdriver forward from the space shown, bend the tabs and separate the front cover. Insert 2 new AAA alkaline batteries in the battery housing with the correct battery direction. Replace both batteries at the same time. Then align the front part of your Room Thermostat to the back and squeeze it towards the back.
Low Battery Warning: When the “Lb” icon appears on the screen, it means “low battery warning”. It is recommended to replace the batteries when this warning appears.
Warning: When the product is not used for a long period (more than 15 days), remove the batteries. Otherwise, malfunctions that may occur would be out of warranty.
Please throw your dead batteries into the waste bin for batteries.

RECEIVER PLACEMENT
The important things to note for the Receiver placement is avoiding physical contact between the Receiver and heating/cooling unit, and protecting it against materials such as liquid, dust etc.

The devices should be placed in order to minimize the damage to the received and transmitted signals by paying attention to the following points;

The devices should not be mounted on metal surfaces.
The devices should not be installed close to electrical cables and electronic equipment such as computers and television units.
The devices should not be installed near large metal structures or other building materials using fine metal meshes such as special glass or special concrete.
Distance between the Room Thermostat and the Receiver should not exceed 20 meters or 2 floors.
Receiver must be installed at least 50 cm away from the heating/cooling unit.

RECEIVER SETUP

First, shut down your heating/cooling unit and your heating/cooling unit’s power source with all electrical current (fuse, socket etc.)

ROOM THERMOSTAT

ROOM THERMOSTAT TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
Temperature sensors which are used in Room Thermostats are highly sensitive. You may need to calibrate your Room Thermostat if you would like to get the same temperature values with other thermometers in your living space.

While your device is turned off, press and hold the button for 3 seconds.
Press the button until the “CAL” menu appers. In order to see the desired temperature, set the temperature difference by turning the button to right or left. This value can be arranged between “-8oC” and “+8oC”.
To save the settings and exit, press the “On/Off” button until the device turns off.
Note: Recommended tempreture calibration is “0.0oC”.

ROOM THERMOSTAT HEATING / COOLING MODES
Your Room Thermostat has heating and cooling modes. In order to switch easily between heating and cooling modes:

While your device is turned off, press and hold the button for 3 seconds.
Press the button until the “FUn” menu appears.
You can switch between “HEa” (heating) and “CO0” (cooling) modes by turning the button to right or left in the “FUn” menu.
To save the settings and exit, press the button until the device turns off.
The settings you have made have been saved. Once you turned on your device, it will operate with the changed settings.

FACTORY SETTINGS RESET

You can reset your Room Thermostat to its default factory settings. This operation resets the calibration setting, heating/coling modes and hysteresis settings to factory setting. To reset your Room
Thermostat to factory setting:

While your device is turned off, press and hold the button for 3 seconds.
Press the button until the “rSt” menu appears.
While in the “rSt“ menu, turn the button to right or left in order to select “yS“ option and press the button.
Your device will be turned off and reset to factory settings.

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 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 unit should work for.
What is the difference?
In non-TPI room thermostats, the heating unit works and stops continuously until it exceeds the set temperature value. If the set temperature drops below a certain amount, the heating 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.

Cooling 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.

TPI ROOM THERMOSTAT COOLING MODE WORKING GRAPHIC

Your Room Thermostat sends the last status signal to the Receiver every 6 minutes. Thus, your Room Thermostat and Receiver work synchronously. If the signal cannot reach to the Receiver from the Room Thermostat for 22 minutes, it perceives that the connection is broken and stops the heating/cooling operation for safety reasons. Likewise, in cases where the electricity comes back after a power failure, the Receiver do not operate the heating/cooling unit until ‘operate’ signal reaches from the Room Thermostat. However, in this case, if the Room Thermostat continues to operate normally, it will continue to work properly without any need for intervention since it sends a status signal to the Receiver every 10 minutes.

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is my Room Thermostat compatible with my heating/cooling unit?
If your heating/cooling unit has on-off connections, your Room Thermostat is compatible. You can find information about your heating/cooling unit from your heating/cooling unit operating manual or from your heating/cooling unit service.
How will I connect my heating/cooling unit with my Receiver?
We recommend that the connection between the Receiver and heating/cooling unit should be made by professionally qualified persons.

2×0.75 mm cable is sufficient for the Receiver–heating/cooling unit connection. Connect one end of the cable pair to the room thermostat connection terminals stated in the user manual of your heating/cooling unit. Connect the other end of the cable pair to COM and NO inputs of the terminal inside the Receiver as shown in the “RECEIVER WIRING DIAGRAM” section. The direction of the cable ends does not matter.
