2. Function description

The clock thermostat is designed to control the room tem-
perature. 
In  the  automatic  mode,  a  changeover  is  effected  between 
comfort and setback mode by the built in timer.
Optionally  remote  sensor  can  be  used  instead  of  built-in 
sensor.
In setback mode the green indicator lamp lights up.
If room temperature drops below set value, heating will start, 
the red indicator lamp will light up.

Controller heat demand at PWM

If room temperature drops below the set value, heating mode 

will  start.  The  controller  output  is  in  the  form  of  pulses  of 

varying  length  (PWM). The  length  of  the  pulses  depends  on 

the difference between set and actual room temperature.

The  sum  of  pulse  and  pause  times  can  be  selected  with  J4 

(between 10 or 25 min.).

If  there  are  large  temperature  differences,  the  controller  will 

switch  ON  or  OFF  permanent,  e.g.  when  changing  over  to 

temperature  setback  mode.  PWM  should  only  be  used  for 

current ≤ 10A

Cycle time setting

For inert applications (e.g. burners) we recommend the long 

cycle time. 

For quick applications (e.g. electric direct heaters) we re com-

mend the short cycle time.

Heat demand of the controller at ON/OFF regulation

When  room  temperature  drops  below  set  temperature  the 

output  will  be  switched  on,  whereas  it  will  be  switched  off, 

when set value is exceeded.

3. Installation

The controller should be arranged in a place within the room 
which:
•    is easily accessible for operation
•    is free from curtains, cupboards, shelves, etc.
•    enables free air circulation
•    is free from direct sun radiation
•    is free from draughts (e.g. opening of windows and doors)
•    is not affected directly by the source of heat
•    is not located on an external wall
•    is located approx. 1,5 m above floor level
Mounting directly on conduit box or with adapter frame ARA 
easy.

Electric connection
Warning! Disconnect electric circuit from supply.

Proceed as follows:
•    pull off temperature setting knob
•    push retaining hook outwards using screwdriver
•    remove housing cover
•    make  connection  in  compliance  with  wiring  diagram 

(see housing cover).

•    watch notes

Remote sensor

Having  connected  the  remote  sensor,  the  integral  sensing 
component will be switched off automatically.
The  sensor  cable  is  extendable  up  to  a  length  of  max.  50m. 
Please use a two-core 230V cable with a cross section of 1.5 
mm2.
The sensor cable (F 193720) should be installed into a protecti-
on tube (pocket). This facilitates later replacement.
In case of failure (break or short-circuit) the controller switches 
into emergency operation:
    at PWM:     30% heating capacitiy
    at ON/OFF: Relay OFF
Warning! Sensor cables carry operating voltage.
