1. *Application*
*
The!Intelligent(Pump(Switch(–(Thermostat!is!an!automatic!switch!designed!specifically!for!circulation!pumps!
of!low-temperature!floor!heating!systems!(based!on!hot!water).!By!switching!the!pump!on!only!when!
circulation!is!required,!its!energy!consumption!is!reduced!dramatically.!The!Intelligent!Pump!Switch!is!
compatible!with!all!conventional!circulation!pumps.1!
!
Alternatively,!the!device!can!be!used!as!a!thermostat!in!other!warming!or!cooling!applications.!!

!!The!configuration!is!saved!in!flash!memory,!therefore!it!is!unaffected!by!power!interruptions!or!outages.!
!
§"4.1 Mode*
There!are!three!different!modes!available,!namely:!
!
•Pump!Switch!
For!application!as!pump!switch!in!floor!heating!systems,!with(manual!control!of!the!switching!
temperature.(The!pump!is!switched!on!when!the!temperature!reading!from!the!sensor!is(higher!than!
the!switching!temperature!setting!(see!§"4.2),!and!switched!off!when!it!is!lower.!!
!
•Intelligent!Pump!Switch!
For!application!as!pump!switch!in!floor!heating!systems,!with(automatic!setting!of!the!switching!
