The thermostat signals the error probe condition by blinking the LED 2 times 

per second.

In this case the regulation is inhibited and the relay contact is kept open. 

Contact Vemer Technical Assistance.

The Keo-B has an input to whom to connect an external contact.

With closed contact, the setpoint is reduced by 3°C than is set with the knob  

(in heating mode only).

•  Install the thermostat at a height of about 1.5 m above the floor, away from 

direct sunlight, away from doors, windows, heat sources, locations with 

excess or total lack of ventilation.

•   The device is sold already mounted 

with anthracite colour. To transform it 

in the white version, remove the knob 

and the cover, acting on the hooks 

placed on the upper and lower side 

of the device and mount the cover 

and the white knob included in the 

package. 

•   Make the connections by respecting 

the diagrams described in this manual. 

The choice of the operating logic occurs 

via selector switch placed on the front 

of the device. It’s possible to choose 

among 3 modes:

 •   cooling mode. Place the selector 

switch in position   if the device is 

connected to a cooling system. The 

output relay is activated when the 

environment temperature is higher 

than the set one.

•   off mode. Place the selector switch in position   in case the system should be 

turned off for long periods. 

   Note: In this condition, the thermostat activates the heating system if the 

temperature falls below 2 °C (antifreeze temperature).

•   heating mode. Place the selector switch in position   if the device is 

connected to a heating system. The output relay is activated when the 

environment temperature is lower than the set one.

The device has a jumper with whom to 

choose the type of regulation, between 

on/off or proportional. 

To access the jumper you need to remove 

the cover after removing power supply 

to the device. The position of the jumper 

determines the type of regulation as 

follows:

−    jumper in position A: ON/OFF regulation  

with fixed differential at 0.3°C 

(default setting)

−    jumper in position B:  proportional regulation with band 0.8 °C 

(-0.3 +0.5) and 8 minutes time base

−    jumper in position C:  proportional regulation with band 1.5 °C  

(-0.7 +0.8) and 15 minutes time base

Example of proportional operation with band 0.8°C and 8 minutes base

Tmis = Tset + 0.5 °C  = relay OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.4 °C  = 1 minute ON ; 7 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.3 °C  = 2 minutes ON ; 6 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.2 °C  = 3 minutes ON ; 5 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.1 °C  = 4 minutes ON ; 4 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset  

= 5 minutes ON ; 3 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.1 °C   = 6 minutes ON ; 2 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.2 °C   = 7 minutes ON ; 1 minute OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.3 °C   = relay ON

Example of proportional operation with band 1.5°C and 15 minutes base

Tmis = Tset + 0.8 °C  = relay OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.7 °C  =   1 minute ON ; 14 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.6 °C  =   2 minutes ON ; 13 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.5 °C  =   3 minutes ON ; 12 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.4 °C  =   4 minutes ON ; 11 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.3 °C  =   5 minutes ON ; 10 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.2 °C  =   6 minutes ON ; 9 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset + 0.1 °C  =   7 minutes ON ; 8 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset  

=   8 minutes ON ; 7 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.1 °C   =   9 minutes ON ; 6 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.2 °C   = 10 minutes ON ; 5 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.3 °C   = 11 minutes ON ; 4 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.4 °C   = 12 minutes ON ; 3 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.5 °C   = 13 minutes ON ; 2 minutes OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.6 °C   = 14 minutes ON ; 1 minute OFF

Tmis = Tset - 0.7 °C   = relay ON

Note:  The proportional regulation is available only for the heating operation.

Note:  The position of the jumper is read only when the device is on.  

Change the position of the jumper when the device is supplied, as well as 

expose you to possible shock, so it is useless.

To change the setpoint, turn the knob. The range of settable values is from 

5°C to 35°C.

On Keo-A the activation of the relay is signaled by the red LED.

On Keo-B the activation of the relay is not reported to limit battery 

consumption. 

The device has two ring nuts to 

limit mechanically the range if the 

thermostat is installed in public places 

or in hotel rooms.

To limit the range, proceed as follows:

-   Set the knob in an intermediate 

value of the desired range (for 

example if you want to limit the 

range between 15°C and 25°C 

turn the knob until the indicator is 

in position 20°C).

-  Remove the knob.  

-   Under the knob there are two ring nuts marked by the word “min” and 

“MAX”, respectively for the lower and upper limit. 

-   Turn the “min” ring nut clockwise and “MAX” anticlockwise until the 

desired position (in this case 15 for min and 25 for MAX). 

-   Replace the knob, making sure that the indicator of the setpoint on the 

knob is in the same position when the knob has been removed (in this case 

20°C).

To remove the limitation to the setpoint and reset the range 5÷35°C turn the 

two ring nuts up to bring the locks of limitation in a position outside the range 

5÷35°C.

•   Fix the device inside the 3 modules box in compliance with the assembly diagrams 

described on the back of this instruction sheet. The accessories for the installation 

included in the package allow the mounting of the plates described in the diagram 

“adjustable plates” and they are: 

  - mount A

  - mount B (it could be necessary to remove the side cogs)

  - mount AIR

  - couple of side BM plastic elements (both of white colour and grey colour)

  - couple of side VI plastic elements (both of white colour and grey colour)

  - covers and knobs of white colour and anthracite grey colour.

•   When you turn on for the first time the thermostat is performed a cycle of switching 

of the relay of OFF-ON-OFF type of the total duration of 3 seconds. Once finished the 

cycle the thermostat begins with the regulation.

The adapters inside the box allow the monitoring of the following cover 

plates:

For information about the possibility to adapt the thermostat with different 

cover plates from those listed, contact the Technical Service.
