• 

Use the setting wheel to select menu items and the OK but-

ton to confirm your choice. Press the menu button again to 

return to the previous level. After 65 seconds without any-

thing happening, the menu will close automatically.

5. Display content during normal operation

During  normal  operation, 

the  following  are  displayed: 

switching  periods,  operating 

mode,  temperature  setting 

and day of the week. 

The bars indicating the week-

ly program’s switching periods are shown for every other 

time interval. For an example, please refer to “2. Weekly 

program: Examples”.

6. Setting the holiday function

If you want a fixed temperature to be maintained for a set 

period of time while you are on holiday or during a party, 

you can make use of the Holiday function.

Press and release the menu button repeatedly until the 

• 

suitcase symbol (   ) appears on the display.

Use the setting wheel to set the end of the time period 

• 

during which the temperature is to be maintained.

Press the OK button to confirm.

• 

Then use the setting wheel to set the date.

• 

Press the OK button to confirm.

• 

Use the setting wheel to set the temperature; press OK to 

• 

confirm. The display will flash to confirm your settings.

The set temperature will remain in force until the specified 

time. After that, the actuator will adopt Auto mode. 

7. Comfort and set-back temperatures

The comfort/set-back temperature button ( 

 ) provides 

an easy and convenient way of switching between these 

two  temperatures.  The  factory  settings  are  21.0°C  and 

17.0°C respectively. To adapt them, proceed as follows:

Press and hold down the comfort/set-back temperature 

• 

button ( 

 ) for more than 3 seconds.

The sun symbol ( 

• 

 ) will appear on the display along 

with the current comfort temperature.

Use the setting wheel to modify the temperature; press 

• 

OK to confirm.

The moon symbol ( 

• 

 ) will appear together with the set-

back temperature.

Use the setting wheel to modify the temperature; press 

• 

OK to confirm.

The temperature can even be modified in Auto mode at any 

time by using this button. The new setting will be retained 

until the program’s next switching time.

8. Child-proof lock/Operating inhibit

Operation can be inhibited.

To activate/deactivate the operating inhibit, briefly press 

• 

the 

Menu and 

 buttons at the same time.

Once the function is active, “LOC” will appear on the display.

• 

To deactivate the function, press both buttons again.

• 

9. Setting the heating break

If the heating is being switched off for the summer, you can 

save battery power. This involves opening the valve up fully. 

Limescale protection measures remain in place. 

To  activate  the  heating  break,  turn  the  setting  wheel 

• 

clockwise during manual operation (

Manu) until “ON” 

appears on the display.

To terminate the heating break, quit manual operation 

• 

(

Manu) or turn the setting wheel anticlockwise.

10. Setting frost protection mode

If you do not want the room to be heated, the valve can 

be closed. It will only be opened again if there is a risk of 

freezing due to frost. Limescale protection measures re-

main in place.

To activate frost protection mode, turn the setting wheel  

• 

anticlockwise during manual operation (Manu) until “OFF”  

appears on the display.

To terminate frost protection mode, quit manual opera-

• 

tion (Manu) or turn the setting wheel clockwise.

11. “Window open” function

In the event of a significant drop in temperature, the actu-

ator can automatically detect whether the room is being 

ventilated. To save on heating costs, the temperature is 

then automatically reduced for a specific time period (fac-

tory setting: 15 minutes). While this function is active, the 

“window open” symbol (   ) appears on the display.

Press  and  hold  down  the  menu  button  for  more  than 

• 

3 seconds.

Use the setting wheel to select the “AER” menu item.

• 

Confirm with OK.

• 

Use the setting wheel to set the temperature and time. 

• 

To deactivate the function, select a time of “0”.

12. Setting the offset temperature

The  temperature  is  measured  at  the  heating  appliance 

itself, with the result that other parts of the room may be 

warmer or colder than this. To allow for this, you can set 

a temperature offset of ±3.5°C. If, for example, a tempe-

rature of 18°C is measured somewhere within the room 

instead of the 20°C set, it means that an offset of -2.0°C 

needs to be configured.

Press  and  hold  down  the  menu  button  for  more  than 

• 

3 seconds.

Use the setting wheel to select the “TOF” menu item.

• 

Confirm with OK.

• 

Use the setting wheel to modify the temperature.

• 

Press the OK button to confirm.

• 

13. Restoring the factory settings

You can reset the actuator to its initial state manually. This 

will clear all the settings that have been made manually.

Press  and  hold  down  the  menu  button  for  more  than 

• 

3 seconds.

Use the setting wheel to select the “RES” menu item.

• 

Confirm with OK.

• 

“CFM” will appear on the display; press OK to confirm.

• 

14. Intended use

The  electronic  thermostat  has  been  designed  for  the  

purpose of controlling a standard heating appliance val-

ve. The device may only be operated indoors and must 

be protected from the effects of damp and dust, as well 

as solar radiation and sources of radiant heat. 

Using the device for a purpose or in a manner other than 

that  described  in  this  operating  manual  constitutes  a 

breach of the “intended use” and shall invalidate the war-

ranty and any liability claims. The same shall apply in the 

event of any conversion or modification work. The devices 

are intended exclusively for domestic use.
