EASY PROGRAMMING IN THREE STEPS
Naturally you can use the factory setting of the thermostat which are set until you change
them (see Programming your thermostat – Factory Settings). However, it is quite simple
to adapt this program to your own desired week program.
Step 1: Program the right time and day of the week and select Summer- or Wintertime
(See: Programming your thermostat – Programming the right day, time and
Summer/Wintertime).
Step 2: Program your desired time-temperature settings for the week (see: Programming
your thermostat).
Step 3: Press START PROGRAM to acknowledge and activate the new program.
BEFORE USING YOUR THERMOSTAT
The Chronotherm IV has a number of characteristics that distinguishes this thermostat
from other programmable thermostats. By learning more about these characteristics you
can optimalize the possibilities which the Chronotherm IV offers.
Adaptive Intelligent Recovery
The Chronotherm IV makes sure that, on the time you have programmed, the desired
temperature has been reached. The thermostat does this by daily calculating and
monitoring the time it needs to warm up the room.
Using this information, the thermostat calculates at what time it’s supposed to start
warming up the next day. When programming, you just punch in the time on which you
want the new temperature realized.
The time at which the thermostat starts to warm up is different every time. During a cold
period the thermostat starts to warm up earlier than in Spring or Autumn. So it is not
necessary to change the warming-times yourself as the seasons turn. As soon as the

3
thermostat is installed, it starts its daily correction process of its Adaptive Intelligent
Recovery. After a few days the thermostat has calculated the right time for heating up.
Intelligent Heating
Your body perceives temperature from a variety of sources, not only from the air in the
room, but also from your surroundings – walls, windows and furniture. Common
thermostats sense only air temperature, which may or may not reflect how hot or cold the
room actually feels to a person. The Chronotherm IV reads the temperature of the wall as
well of the air – and responds to temperature changes as little as half a degree Celcius –
so room temperature is more likely to “feel right”.
In the morning, heating up is being done very gradually. Not only does this diminish the
risk of “overshoot”, meaning that the heating up exceeds the desired temperature. Also
the gradual heating up means less strain on the pipes in your home.
Programming Options
You can program at least four temperature-changes (periods) per day. These periods are
called RISING, LEAVING, COMING HOME AND SLEEP. To activate the periods you
program the beginning time and the desired temperature, if necessary for each day in a
different way. If four periods per day are not sufficient, you can easily extend the number
of periods per day to six with the periods LEAVING 2 and COMING HOME 2. This
allows you to program a raise in temperature if you come home around lunch.
Extra programming options
•Using COPY DAY you can quickly and easily program the other days of the week.
•The thermostat has a unique holiday/timer function which can hold a temperature for
a time until a certain moment. You can use this function for a holiday, for a weekend
away from home or even for a few hours using the timer.
•By touching only one button you can change today’s and/or tomorrow’s program into
Sunday’s program.
Flame symbol
As soon as the thermostat switches on the heater, the Chronotherm IV display shows a
flame symbol in the lower left side of the screen. This allows you to ascertain at any time
if your heater is being active.
Batteries
Before using the Chronotherm IV you need to place 3 ‘penlight’ alkaline batteries (type
AA). The average lifespan of batteries in the Chronotherm IV is at least two years (see
also: Replacing the batteries). As soon as the batteries are in place, the Chronotherm IV
will function according to the factory setings of the period RISING of Monday.

4
Manual control right after installation
After the batteries have been placed you can, if you don’t program the thermostat right
away, control the Chronotherm IV manually first.
You activate manual control by pressing Arrow Up (red: warmer) or Arrow Down (blue:
colder) to request the desired temperature.
You can do the same by pressing Temperatuur Continu. The abbreviation “Cont” is being
displayed, and with Up and Down you can select the desired temperature.
Pressing Start Programma ends this function.
Lighted display
Every time you press a button the display lights up for a few seconds. So even at night the
indications on the display are easy to read.
Memory Chip
The Chronotherm IV is equipped with a memory chip that keeps all adjustments. Even if
the batteries are empty the program is remembered. In that case, you’ll only have to punch
in the right time.
Temporary adjustments are not being saved.
OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
Your Chronotherm IV is prepared for the following additional functions:
1. Reading outside temperature:
Needed: outside temperature reader (C7089B1000), wall plate* for Chronotherm IV
(Q8602A2001)
2. Switching on or off the thermostat to a preprogrammed temperature (tele-function):
Needed: an extern switchboard, used for telephones or computers (not a Honeywell-
product), wall plate* for Chronotherm IV (Q8602A2001).
3. Optimal Comfort for manual, temporary change over to outdoor temperature control
(OTC), intelligently linked to Chronotherm IV’s program.

1. PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT
You can program your Chronotherm IV either mounted on the wall plate or holding it in
your hand. The first step to make your thermostat ready for use is to program the right day
of the week, the time and the selection of Summer- or Wintertime. After this, you can
either make the device run according to the pre-programmed factory settings or you can
program your own settings. Before programming your own settings, you have to decide
whether you want to use 4 or six different periods per day. To make it easier on yourself,
it helps to write down your settings before programming.
BEWARE: only press the buttons with the tip of your finger. Sharp objects such as a
pencil may damage the buttons!
Programming the right day, time and Summer- or Wintertime
1. Press “Invoer dag/tijd”.
In the display the indications TIME, ZO or WI appear, MA and the time.
2. Press button “Day” so often till you see in the bottom of the display the abbreviation
for the right day.
3. Press buttons “Up” and “Down” (right of the display) to select the right hour.
Press buttons “Vooruit” and “Terug” to select the right minutes for the time.
