I. Safety
Before using the device for the first time the user should read the following regulations carefully.
Not obeying the rules included in this manual may lead to personal injuries or controller damage.
The user’s manual should be stored in a safe place for further reference. In order to avoid
accidents and errors it should be ensured that every person using the device has familiarized
themselves with the principle of operation as well as security functions of the controller. If the
device is to be sold or put in a different place, make sure that the user’s manual is there with the
device so that any potential user has access to essential information about the device.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for any injuries or damage resulting from
negligence; therefore, users are obliged to take the necessary safety measures listed in this
manual to protect their lives and property.
WARNING
The device should be installed by a qualified electrician.
The regulator should not be operated by children.
WARNING
Any use other than specified by the manufacturer is forbidden.
Before and during the heating season, the controller should be checked for condition of its
cables. The user should also check if the controller is properly mounted and clean it if dusty
or dirty.
Care for the natural environment is our priority. Being aware of the fact that
we manufacture electronic devices obligates us to dispose of used elements
and electronic equipment in a manner which is safe for nature. As a result,
the company has received a registry number assigned by the Main Inspector
of Environmental Protection. The symbol of a crossed out rubbish bin on a
product means that the product must not be thrown out to ordinary waste
bins. By segregating waste intended for recycling, we help protect the natural
environment. It is the user's responsibility to transfer waste electrical and
electronic equipment to the selected collection point for recycling of waste
generated from electronic and electrical equipment.

II. Description of the device
VER-15 room regulator is intended for controlling the heating or cooling device (e.g. gas, oil or
electric furnace or the CH boiler controller). Its main task is to maintain the pre-set temperature in
the flat by sending a signal to the heating/cooling device (contact opening) when the desired
temperature is reached.
Advanced software enables the regulator to fulfil a wide range of functions:
maintaining the pre-set room temperature
manual mode
day/night program
weekly control
control of the underfloor heating system (optional; an additional temperature sensor is
necessary)
Controller equipment:
touch buttons
front panel made of 3mm glass
built-in temperature sensor
batteries
III. Installation
The controller should be installed by a qualified person.

VER-15 controller may be installed as a panel mountable on the wall.
III.a) Connection diagram
Room regulator should be connected with actuator with two-wired cable.
Connection of both devices is shown on a diagram below:
ATTENTION:
Marking on the back of the controller refers to bulit-in relay.
Marking do not describe the type of connected actuator.

ATTENTION:
Regulator is powered by batteries - it is necessary to check the batteries state
periodically.
Batteries should be changed at least once during a season.
To provide proper operation of control circuit, it is necessary to supply 230V AC to
regulator - according to diagram below.
IV. First start-up
In order for the controller to operate correctly, the user must follow these steps when starting the
device for the first time:
1. Remove the front cover of the controller and insert the batteries.
2. In the case of VER-15 connect the two-core cable to appropriate sockets in the receiver.
V. How to use the controller
V.a) Principle of operation
VER-15 room regulator is designed to maintain desired room temperature by sending signal to
actuator (contact closure) with information about necessity of heating.
After receiving that signal actuator unlocks flow on thermostatic valve.
V.b) Operation modes
The user has three operation modes to choose from:

User’s manual

Day/night mode
In this mode the pre-set temperature value depends on the current time of the day. The user may
set different temperature values for the daytime and nighttime (comfort temperature and
economical temperature) as well as define the exact time of entering day mode and night mode.
In order to activate this mode, press EXIT button until day/night mode icon appears on the main
screen.
Weekly control
This mode enables the user to define the time when the pre-set comfort temperature and the pre-
set economical temperature will apply. The user may set 9 different programs divided into three
groups:
- programs 1÷3 –daily temperature values are set for all days of the week;
- programs 4÷6 –daily temperature values are set separately for the weekdays (Monday-Friday)
and for the weekend (Saturday-Sunday);
- programs 7÷9 –daily temperature values are set for each day of the week separately.
* The display shows the hours when the comfort temperature applies. In the remaining time
period economical temperature applies.
In order to activate this mode, press and hold EXIT button until the weekly control icon appears
on the main screen.

Manual mode
In this mode the pre-set temperature is adjusted manually from the main screen view with the
use of these buttons: or . Manual mode is activated when one of these buttons is pressed.
When the manual mode is activated, the previous operation mode enters ‘sleep mode’ until the
next pre-programmed temperature change. Manual mode may be deactivated by pressing EXIT
button.
Example 1 –manual mode activation in Day/night mode
When Day/night mode is active, the user changes the pre-set temperature by pressing or
which automatically activates manual mode.
The controller returns to Day/night mode when daytime changes into nighttime (or the other way
round) or when the user presses EXIT button.
Example 2 –manual mode activation in weekly control mode
When weekly control is active, the user changes the pre-set temperature by pressing or ,
which automatically activates manual mode.
The controller returns to weekly control mode when, according to the weekly schedule, economical
temperature changes into comfort temperature (or the other way round) or when the user presses
EXIT button.

V.c.6) Optimum start
Optimum start is an intelligent system controlling the heating/cooling process. It involves constant
monitoring of the heating/cooling system efficiency and using the information to activate the
heating/cooling process in advance in order to reach the pre-set temperatures.
The system requires no user intervention. It precisely reacts to any changes that affect
the efficiency of the heating system. If, for example, some changes have been introduced to the
heating system and the house heats up faster than before, the Optimum start system will
recognize the changes at the next pre-programmed temperature change (from comfort to
economical) and in the next cycle the heating system activation will be adequately delayed,
reducing the time needed to reach the desired temperature.
A–pre-programmed change from economical temperature to comfort temperature
Activating this function means that at the time of pre-programmed change of the pre-set
temperature from comfort to economical or the other way round, the current room temperature
is close to the desired value.
In order to configure this parameter, press MENU
until Optimum start setting panel appears on the
screen.
Use or to activate or deactivate Optimum
start function. Press MENU to confirm and move on
to edit the next parameter or press EXIT to confirm
and return to the main screen view.
