1.9 Automatic adjustments
When living eco®is installed it will automatically begin to adjust itself to your heating system.
During this process you might experience that the thermostat reacts slowly or turns the heat up
and down by itself. This is normal and a necessary part of the adjustment process.
1. Adjusting to the valve
During the first night of operation living eco®will shut off the radiator heat and then open again
to detect the exact opening point of the valve. This will allow living eco®to control the heat as ef-
ficiently as possible. If necessary, the procedure is repeated once a night for up to a week.
2. Intelligent Control (Forecast)
During the first week of operation living eco® learns when it is necessary to start heating the room
in order to reach the correct temperature at the correct time.
The intelligent control will continuously adjust the heating time compared to seasonal tempera-
ture changes.
Using Saving Program requires that your heating system has enough heat for a short period during
heat up. If your experience problems you should contact your installer.

1. 2.
If the display is off, press .
Use the buttons to raise or lower the comfort
temperature (default temperature 21 ° C).
living eco® will remember the new comfort
temperature after the setback periods.
If the temperature is changed during a setback
period (default 17 ° C), the new temperature
will only be valid for this setback period.
For a permanent change of the setback tem-
perature, see chapter 4.3.
3. 4.
20 cm
If the comfort temperature is set at its lowest,
the Frost Protection icon is displayed, indicat-
ing that living eco® will maintain a constant
temperature of 4-10 ° C in the room.
living eco®is measuring the temperature with
two built-in sensors - one behind the display
and one near the valve.
Based on both readings the room tempera-
ture is calculated for an area approx. 20 cm
in front of the display. This allows living eco®
to control the actual room temperature very
accurately.
Be aware that sources of cold or heat, e.g.
fireplace, direct sun or draft, might affect the
function of living eco®.
Note! If the set temperature is raised more than 1 °C living eco® will boost the radiator heat to reach the
new temperature faster. You can feel the valve and radiator are getting warmer.
Minor temperature changes will not evoke a heat boost, and so the changes are made without any
immediate indication.
