1. Safety
Incorrect electrical connection of the room
panel with ecoMAX regulator can cause
damage both to the ecoSTER200 room panel
and ecoMAX regulator. Therefore, installation
has to be done by a qualified installer.
Additional protective measures should be
taken in order to prevent results of
malfunction of the regulator or of errors in its
software which could result in a loss of
property or other dangerous consequences,
i.e. freezing of water in hydraulic system.
2. Purpose
EcoSTER200 room panel is a modern
electronic device mainly used as a
programmable room thermostat. The
regulator provides very simple and effective
way to control indoor temperature.
Temperature sensor included in the regulator
enables reading and programming
temperature with the accuracy of 0,1°C.
Regulator can be programmed in a 7-day
cycle with the accuracy of 0,5 hour.
Therefore, there is a possibility of 48
temperature changes per day. User can
preset different time zones for each day of
the week.
After connecting two additional temperature
sensors, the ecoSTER200 room panel
provides temperature control in three
independent rooms.
The ecoSTER200 room panel also has a
function of additional panel for boiler
regulator control.
It can be used in household and similar
facilities, as well as in slightly industrialized
facilities.
