can be saved by pressing the “
SET
” button. A more detailed description
of the programming steps can be found in Section 3.3.
• If there are days, for which the same program is needed, than it is sufficient
to create that program only once, since it can be easily copied to another
day using the “
COPY
” button as described in Section 3.4. If the same
program is needed for every day, then there is also a possibility to create
the program of all the days together (by selecting
MON TUE WED THU
FRI SAT SUN
together during the selection of days). But be aware: if the
program of all the days are created together, than their program can only
be modified together. Therefore, if a different program is needed for at
least one day, then the program of the days should be created separately,
and the repeated programs should be copied using the “
COPY
” button.
• A separate program can be created for the heating and cooling mode,
and these programs are preserved when switching between the modes.
Therefore, if the thermostat is used for both heating and cooling, then
there is no need to modify the program of the thermostat every time a
switch between these modes is performed.
3.2 Recommendations for creating a heating program
The average comfort needs of a person can usually be satisfied by a
temperature of 19-21°C during the night, and a temperature of 22-23°C during
the day. During that time of the day, when the family is at work or school, only
a lower temperature is needed. As heating up and cooling down usually takes
a long time, it is reasonable to set the start time of the switches 0.5-1 hour
before the desired time of the modified temperature. The programmability of
the thermostat provides a perfect solution for this.
For an average working family, a program similar to the one below is
recommended:
- 8 -
