Operation

Manual mode

In manual mode, the chronothermostat adjust the temperature set via the

wheel selector.

Auto mode (automatic program)

In automatic program mode, the chronothermostat adjusts the temperature

on the basis of the “comfort” or “economy” functions dened in the relative

time bands of the programmed ambient prole. The comfort and economy

times can be dened via programmed timing.

Up to eight daily switchovers can be selected (four “comfort” and four

“economy”).

The chronothermostat has the following factory settings:

• heating at“comfort”temperature, with the rst switchover at 7.00 am

• reduction to“economy”temperature, with the rst switchover at 10.00 pm

In this way, one daily heating time band is set (from 7.00 am to 10.00 pm) for

the whole week.

Setting the comfort/economy times

Up to four daily “comfort” switchovers (heating active) and four “economy”

switchovers (temperature reduction) can be dened for each of the seven

days of the week, or for three groups of several days.

In the menu, the indications“DAY1”-”DAY7”refer to the days of the week (from

DAY1 Monday to DAY7 Sunday). The days are also shown in abbreviated form

(Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su) beneath the hourly timings bar.

The indications “D1-5”, “D1-6” and “D1-7” refer to groups of several days,

allowing you to quickly program a number of days at the same time:

D1-5 = group of days from Monday to Friday

D1-6 = group of days from Monday to Saturday

D1-7 = group of days from Monday to Sunday

Description

The K470H chronothermostat for radiators is a technologically advanced device

that is quiet and compact - it measures no more than a normal thermostatic

head. The chronothermostat clips onto its ring nut with standard thread M30x1,5

and can therefore be used with a wide range of valves. The function keys, wheel

selector and LCD display enable easy menu navigation for programming the

chronothermostat and selecting the various operating modes.

Installation

Installation on Giacomini valves with thermostatic option, with connection

M30x1,5 mm

The chronothermostat isinstalled on allthe Giacominivalves withthermostatic

option of the H series, with connection M30x1,5 as shown below:

• Tighten the ring nut (B) (supplied) on the radiator valve (A);

• Insert the chronothermostat (C) on the ring nut (B); you will hear a “click”

when the two elements are correctly coupled.

Installation on other Giacomini valves with thermostatic option

When installing on other Giacomini valves with thermostatic option, use the

contents of the bag R453HY012 (included in the head package).

• Fit the threaded ring nut (D), coupling it with the reference pins on the

radiator valve (E).

• Tighten the ring nut (B) (found in the head package) on the radiator valve

(E+D).

• Insert the chronothermostat (C) on the ring nut (B); you will hear a “click”

when the two elements are correctly coupled.

Note:

The chronothermostat must be in“INST”or“ON”mode in order to x it

to the ring nut without too much eort.

If the chronothermostat is installed at a later time, select the “INST”

menu before xing it to the ring nut.

To ensure better temperature adjustment, you are advised to install

the chronothermostat with the display facing upwards.

Warning.

If you hold onto the chronothermostat when screwing the ring nut

onto - or unscrewing it from - the valve, this will cause irreversible

damage to the mechanism and the coupling teeth of the ring nut itself.

Note:

Any days that are not programmed remain set

with the factory values.

The“comfort” and “economy” temperatures are factory-set at 21 °C

and 16 °C respectively.

Advanced functions

JOLLY function

With this function, you can dene the required temperature for a set time

period (minimum one hour, maximum 24 hours), regardless of the current

operating mode and set-point. At the end of the JOLLY function timing, the

chronothermostat returns to normal operating mode. The JOLLY function is

handy for forcing the most suitable temperature in the event of a temporary

absence or prolonged presence in the room.

Setting the OFFSET

Elements like shelves and curtains near a radiator can impede good

heat diusion, inevitably aecting the room temperature detected by

the chronothermostat and its subsequent adjustment. In these cases, if

the room temperature is very dierent from the temperature set on the

chronothermostat, you can insert a correction factor (called OFFSET):

Note:

Before implementing an OFFSET value, it is necessary to measure the

room temperature with the aid of a precision thermometer.

Example: if the “comfort” temperature set on the chronothermostat

is 21 °C but the real temperature in the room is only 19 °C, enter a

correction factor of +2 °C.

WINDOW function

The chronothermostat has an “open window” function: when the window is

opened and the temperature therefore drops suddenly, the chronothermostat

temporarily closes the valve (for a set time) to save energy. During this time,

the “anti-freeze” symbol will be shown on the display. At the end of the timed

period, the chronothermostat returns to normal operating mode.

HOLIDAY function

In the event of a prolonged absence, you can set the temperature for that

period (or even the closure of the valve), along with the date and time of

your return.

CHILDREN SAFETY function

This function allows you to deactivate the keys and wheel selector to prevent

unauthorised persons from accessing the menu.

Heating shut-o (valve closure)

If necessary, you can close the valve to deactivate the heating in a room.

The valve closes and thereby deactivates the heating function, but the anti-

calcication function still remains active.

By resetting “AUTO” mode at any time, the chronothermostat will start up

again and implement the programmed prole.

Restoring the factory congurations

With this function, you can delete all the programming operations made

and thereby restore the chronothermostat's initial factory programming

conditions.

Automatic protection functions

Regardless of the programming and operating modes, the chronothermostat

has two automatic protection functions:

Anti-freeze function: if the room temperature falls below 6 °C, the

chronothermostat opens the valve until the temperature rises to 8 °C. This

prevents the water in the pipes from freezing.

Anti-calcication function: once a week (on Friday morning), the

chronothermostat performs a valve opening/closing cycle to prevent the

valve from calcifying.

K471

Programming key for chronothermostat for radiators (K470H series). USB

connection to the PC and Mini-USB to the chronothermostat. 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 proles of the

various rooms have been stored on the key K471, they can be uploaded onto

the chronothermostat K470H which thus automatically acquires the current

time and date. This means that any pre-setting by the user is superuous.

Removing the chronothermostat

To remove the chronothermostat from the ring nut:

• Set the maximum temperature via the wheel selector (the display will show

“ON”) and wait at least one minute.

• Press in the point indicated by the arrow (A) to release the chronothermostat

from the ring nut.

Programming via key K471

The chronothermostat can be directly programmed via the programmer

K471 (subsequently referred to as “key K471”), ensuring quick and easy

chronothermostat conguration 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 proles of the various rooms have been stored on the

key K471, they can be uploaded onto the chronothermostat K470H which

thus automatically acquires the current time and date. This means that any

pre-setting by the user is superuous.

Note:

Initial chronothermostat start-up.The transfer of the weekly prole to

a chronothermostat presupposes that the device is already installed

on the valve, as its good functioning depends on the positive

outcome of the initial start-up sequence.

For more details, refer to the installation and user instructions of the

chronothermostat K470H.

Insert the “Mini-USB”

connector of the

programmer in the

relevant connector

on the side of the

chronothermostat.

The standard indications disappear from the display and are replaced with

the code “P01” (“Ambient prole 1”).

Using the chronothermostat knob, select the required ambient prole;

choose the numerical index of the ambient prole from those previously

programmed with the software.

When you press the “PROG” key, the parameters of the selected prole are

transferred from the key to the chronothermostat.

As soon as the chronothermostat has been programmed, the standard

information returns to the display.

Note:

If the list of ambient proles is not viewed via the chronothermostat

wheel within 10 seconds, the display will resume the usual

indications. In this case (and if necessary), take the key out and then

insert it again.
