5Automatic, Manual, Off
Functions
There are three main operating programs with
relating sub-programs of the
chronothermostat: Automatic, Manual, Off:
- Automatic, room temperature has a
changing course which depends on the
time scheduling profiles and set points
(regulation thermal profile).
- Manual, room temperature is regulated at a
fixed user programmed set-point.

- Off, the central heating system is in
stand-by (eventually it activates, if the
temperature goes below the Anti-Frost
Mode when enabled).
Timed sub-programs:
- Automatic Forced,atimed temperature
is fixed until the next set point and it
works separately from the regulation
profile in use.
- Timed Manual, the system proceeds in
manual function mode (user-
programmed set-point) for a
programmable period of time and then
the temperature controller shifts to
Automatic Function mode.
- Timed Off or Holiday Mode, the system
keeps OFF mode for a programmable
period of time and then the temperature
controller shifts to Automatic Function
mode. The function in progress is
shown by the presence of the following
blinking icons (Timed functions) or
(Holiday).
