+5°C) with the selector wheel. Confirm with 

OK

.

The temperature display does not change!

Open Window function

If a window is open and consequently the temperature drops 
significantly, the K470H will automatically close the heating valve in 
order to save energy.

If the temperature drops below 6 °C, the K470H opens the valve until the 
temperature again rises above 8 °C.
This prevents the radiators from freezing.

- Calcification protection function

To prevent radiator valves from calcifying the K470H is submitted to a 
calcification protection programme once a week on Friday mornings.

CLEANING AND USED DEVICES

Cleaning

To clean the K470H use only a dry or lightly wet cloth.
Avoid chemical solvent – it can probably damage the device.

 

Used devices

Do not throw old devices and packaging into the household waste. 
They can be recycled. You receive further information at your local 
government.

 

PROGRAMMING VIA K471 KEY

The K470H chronothermostat 
can be directly programmed 
via the K471 programming key, 
ensuring quick and easy chron-
othermostat configuration 
thanks to the exchange of data 
via the Mini-USB connector. 

Using the key K471 and viewing the graphic interface on the PC, you 
can easily programme the daily time bands for the comfort (Tmax) and 
economy (Tmin) temperatures of the chronothermostat.
Once the temperature profiles of the various rooms have been stored 
on the K471 programming key, they can be uploaded onto the K470H 
chronothermostat which thus automatically acquires the current time 
and date.
This means that any pre-setting by the user is superfluous.
For the programming, refer to the instructions enclosed with the K471 
programming key.  

The device’s Mini-USB connector is only compatible with the cable 
of the programmer K471; do not connect any other devices fitted 
with a Mini-USB connection, as this could irreversibly damage the 
chronothermostat.

HELP

Problem

Cause

Solution

Batteries do not have

enough power.

Replace batteries.

Heating

element

does not

warm up.

Is the boiler water

temperature O.K.?

Valve does not open,

is it calcifi ed after

the summer pause /

heating pause?

Adjust the temperature 

of the boiler water.

Remove the K470H, 

move the valve

stem back and forth per 

hand or with a tool.

Heating ele-

ment

does

not cool

down.

Valve does not close

completely. It may be

that the closing point

of your valve seat has

shifted.

Adapt again (see 

“Adapting”) Move the 

valve stem several times 

by hand, it may be that 

adaptation is impossible 

because your valve is 

calcifi ed or the seat 

no longer performs its 

function.

Pressure
piece falls
out (This can
also cause
an E1-error) 

Due to an endlessthread 

the pressure piece, 

which is situated at the 

bottom, can fall out if 

the device has not been 

affixed on the valve.

Put in the pressure 

piece. The device can 

beadapted by pressing 

the 

MEN

 - point or by 

removing and inserting 

the batteries. The end-

lessthread is rotating 

now and fi xes the pres-

sure piece again. Just 

install it to the radiator 

and adapt

it once again.

 - 

By pressing any key the error message will be 

deleted in the display and the K470H is re-started. 

No adaptation possible.  

K470H is not installed to 

the heater.

Is the installation OK?

Install the K470H to the 

heater.

Valve stroke is too

short.

Open and close the 

valve several times 

manually or replace the 

batteries.

Motor movement is

not possible.

Does the valve stem

move freely?
