Temperature offset
The temperature offset can be set in a range of –2 to + 2 ºC.
Display mode
The Display can be programmed to display room temperature, setting temperature or % of valve/damper
opening.
Temperature display in decimal number
In case of selecting program 8.0 and 9.1, Press △and ▽key simultaneously to toggle showing room
temperature in integer or decimal number. To exit this program, cut off the power.
Remote sensor (optional)
The Remote sensor can be provided as the optional. It can be the temperature module, epoxy or pipe type.
The system will automatically detect whether the internal or the Remote sensor is used.
Temperature module

Specify the type of Remote sensor when order.
Digital input for energy savings
There is a Digital input port for energy savings provided in the system. If the input is NO contact, the system
will not do anything. If the input is NC contact, it will delay for 2 minutes and then
raise up the setting temperature for 2 ºC, and
activate the dot LED after the second digit as an alarm.
Sensor error alarm
If the temperature sensor (either internal or remote) is failed, Display will show Er in blinking.
Target error alarm
If the target of the valve/damper opening can not be reached within 2 minutes (for Feed back type only),
Display will show Ef in blinking.

INSTALLATION
Read these instructions thoroughly before installing
product. Failure to follow these instructions could damage
the product or cause a hazardous condition. Check the
voltage and current ratings on the product to ensure that it
is suitable for your application. Installer must be a trained,
experienced service technician. Check product for proper
operation after installation.
CAUTION
Damage to cooling system may occur.
Disconnect power from the equipment at the main
breaker/fuse block while installing the thermostat.
Mounting Location.
Mount the thermostat approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m)
above the floor in a location that is free from direct
sunlight, heat from appliances, hot or cold air from
ducts, concealed pipes and chimneys, and drafts or
dead spots behind doors or in corners. Do not mount
on exterior wall, if possible. Failure to locate
thermostat mounting as indicated will result in poor
temperature control.
NOTE: Level thermostat mounting is for appearance only
and is not required for proper thermostat operation.
Mounting Thermostat
Take out the back plate by removing the locking
screw (if any) at the bottom of the thermostat. Use
flat head screw driver to unlock the snaps. Lift and
pull it up to remove back plate.
Fig.4 Taking out back plate
The 18-22 gauge wire is recommended for wiring.
Using back plate as a guide, mark two mounting
holes on the wall. Drill two mounting holes. Place
anchors (provided) into the holes until flush with
the hole. Position back plate on the wall and
thread the wires from the heating and cooling
equipment through the wiring hole. Holding the
back plate in place on the wall, secure it to the
wall using mounting screws (provided).
Fig.5 Installing back plate
Wiring
Pull the connector from the back of thermostat by
inserting screw driver at the base of connector and
gently lift up.

Fig.7 Wiring diagram
Note : Only one terminal from terminals 3&5 is
connected. It is subjected to the application.
Loosen the terminal screw, strip the wire and connect
the wire as shown in fig. 8 Firmly tighten terminal
screw when finished.
Fig.8 Connecting wire
Place the terminal back to the thermostat, make
sure it has the same orientation like in the picture
described at the back. Snap the thermostat to its
back plate.
Fig.9 Installing thermostat
Secure the thermostat by tightening the screw
provided to protect the thermostat from unwanted
access.

INSTALLER SETUP
The following instructions provide information to test the cooling equipment and to change operating
parameters from the factory settings.
Enter Installer Setup
Press and hold △and ▽key simultaneously for 10 seconds to enter installer setup. The dot between the two
digit display lits showing the Installer Setup mode.
The first digit shows the Programming number.
The second digit shows the Parameter setting.
Now follow the following steps to change each of the settings. Each time you press △key, you will advance
to the next Programming number. The ▽key is used for Parameter setting.
Program 1 : Minimum temperature setting
To set the minimum temperature (5-23 ºC) allowed for the user.
Press △key until the first digit is 1.
Press ▽key until the second digit is as required. See table below.
