ADAPTIVE FUNCTION:
The thermostat has the ADAPTIVE FUNCTION defaulted too ON.
Adaptive Function is a setting that enables the thermostat to switch on prior
to the set time to be warm by the set time. The thermostat has intuitive
technology, which, as it knows what the floor temp is & what the time is. It
can work out the rate of temperature change and thus switch on at the
appropriate time beforehand so that it will be at the temp as set in the
programming schedule at that scheduled time.
This a very handy feature when in “Floor” sensor mode. Please be aware if you
have the Adaptive Function on & set your thermostat to Room Limit or Room

This gives you a breakdown of KWh & Price for the last Week, Month & Year.
Should your thermostat be switching on heating to a large floor area, you
could be getting inaccurate readings. Please contact CB to assist you here.
The thermostat calculates the energy use based on a fixed electrical tariff.
Should your home have a “smart” electricity meter, which charges different
tariffs for electricity consumption at different times of the day and hence
will not be providing an accurate running cost.
If you keep on scrolling through the energy use page there will also be a
running cost graph for last month & last year. The graph is indicating hour on
per day.
SENSOR APPLICATION: T he default with the thermostat is the Floor sensor
mode. It measures the floor temperature if it has been placed between the
heating elements. Suggested Floor temp is 25 C. The thermostat also has the
option to be set to Room/Floor Limit & Room. Room floor limit measures the
room temperature but stays within the floor temp limitations. I.e., in the
case of wooden floors, it will not go over the suggested max floor temp of the
manufacturer which is generally around 27 o C – 30 o C. For the minimum Limit,
these is more suitable in very cold climates where the heating will remain on
if the floor temp were to go below that set temp. Room sensor measures the
room temperature & maintains the room at the set temperature. Suggested room
temps vary between 19 o C. Everyone is different as what they find
comfortable. Remember, the higher the set temp whether it be Room temp or
Floor temp or even your air conditioner for that matter, the higher you set
the higher your running cost will be. o C to 21 o
How to change between the different options, do as follows. Press the “Menu”
button at top right of the screen.
Scroll down & then press “Engineer Settings”
