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 sensor mode this could dramatically increase your running costs.
Press main MENU button, Scroll down and press ENGINEER settings.
It’s the 1st option. Tap on it. To switch Adaptive Function OFF. Tap the grey
area to the left of ON. Do the opposite should you wish to turn it ON.
ENERGY USE
The thermostat has a section on how much your floor heating is costing you to
run.
Press the MENU button & then Energy Use button.
It will bring up the 7-day usage graph. Tap on arrow button.
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 an inaccurate reading. 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 :
The 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 25oC – 30oC.
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 27oC.
For the minimum Limit, these are 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 19oC to 21oC. 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.
How to change between the different options, do as follows.
Press the “Menu” button at top right of the screen.
Then press “Engineer Settings”
Press “Sensor Application
It will now take you to this screen, where it is just confirming you want to use the floor or room sensor Press the button
The tick will confirm which setting you are currently on. You can now choose
one of the other 2 options that you would like to use.
Once you have made your choice Press the button.
