1. Thermostat 02905
The thermostat 02905 is designed to control room temperature by acting on the control circuit of the burner
or circulation pump (heating) or on the control circuit of the air conditioner (air conditioning), ensuring an ideal
temperature.
Thanks to a touch screen display with an extremely user-friendly graphical interface, the user can manage the
system easily and comprehensively while keeping the device in a state of energy saving.
2. Inserting new / replacement batteries
When replacing batteries, remove the front panel by raising it with a screwdriver. Replace the batteries with
Alkaline 1.5V "AA" batteries.
The battery charge status is shown as follows:
• no icon battery charged
• flashing icon battery almost flat (replace it)
• fixed on icon battery flat (the device will go OFF
and it is no longer possible to
switch to operation).
CAUTION!
In case of replacement, dispose of batteries in the
specific differentiated collection bins

3.1 Functions of the buttons
: increases the numerical values. When it "disappears" from the display it means that the value
cannot be increased any more.
: decreases the numerical values. When it "disappears" from the display it means that the value
cannot be decreased any more.
: during navigation, it scrolls to the next item through the available menus. If it "disappears"
then you have arrived at the last of the items that can be scrolled.
: during navigation, it scrolls to the previous item through the available menus. If it "disap-
pears" then you have arrived at the last of the elements that can be scrolled.
: confirms the selected option (activates the submenu if there is one or displays the next
parameter/digit).
After each confirmation, the display shows the icon for approximately 1 s. In addition, if
the timer-thermostat is connected to the probe 02960 via the circuit board 02915, it will also
be possible to enable its acoustic signal.
: back (or cancel) exits the current screen/menu and returns to the previous one without
saving any changes. In menus with changes to multiple digits it lets you go back to change
the previous digit.

3.3 Ecometer
Fig. 3: Set of ECOMETER icons
On the left-hand side of the display there is a set of icons called the "ECOMETER" that provide an overview
of the expected consumption as an aid to energy saving.
The information displayed is based on a consumption forecast obtained by comparing the currently set
temperature setpoint and the estimated average consumption (which therefore has nothing to do with the
current room temperature).
• The consumption level ring graphically indicates the expected level of consumption.
If this level is less than half, it means that there will be a saving compared to the conventional average
consumption; vice versa, if the level exceeds half, the expected consumption will be higher than the
conventional average.
• The energy saving indicator indicates whether the currently set setpoint will allow obtaining savings
with respect to the conventional average consumption.
3.4 Locking the interface via PIN
The thermostat lets you set a password (see par. 6.8) which inhibits any change to the operating mode (eg
switching from Manual to OFF), limits setting the temperature values and, more generally, blocks access
to the configuration menu.
This feature is useful to prevent the thermostat being used by unauthorized persons: the device prompts
you to enter the PIN, indicating a shutdown with the icon.

7. Operating mode
The thermostat 02905 is able to adjust the temperature according to the following operating modes:
• Switched off (OFF): switches the system off without making any adjustments
• Manual (ON): lets you set the required temperature set-point manually
• Away: is a mode that lets you set the set-point in order to achieve significant energy savings during periods
when the user is away
• Nighttime reduction: this mode, which can be activated locally, is useful for changing the manual adjust-
ment set point in the hours of nighttime operation.
• Antifreeze: used to set a minimum temperature level to avoid damage to pipework or prevent the temper-
ature from falling below a safety level.
In addition, if the multi-function input of the thermostat has been suitably configured, you can remotely activate
the following modes:
• Remote reduction: conceptually similar to nighttime reduction, it acts on the comfort set point instead of
the one set locally in manual mode.
• Remote activation: lets you activate the system remotely by setting the comfort set point
• Summer/Winter switching: the multi-function input automatically switches the thermostat onto air-condi-
tioning mode (when on) or heating mode (when off).
The operating mode is selected via the SETTINGS menu (see chap. 6).
4.1 Switched off (OFF)
With this mode on, the thermostat is turned off and you cannot make any adjustments; in this case, the
icon is displayed above the temperature indicator.
When the thermostat is OFF, you cannot perform any operations other than activating the menus.
Fig. 5: Typical screen for OFF mode
For heating-only systems this mode is typically used in the summer.

7
4.2 Manual (ON)
This is the "traditional" operating mode. The thermostat controls the room temperature and takes it to
the value set by the user.
Fig. 6: Typical screen for Manual mode
The set point can always be changed via or .
In the course of setting, the set point flashes and the circular ring fills up accordingly; this gives an indica-
tion of the expected consumption as a function of the set point you are setting:
Fig. 7: Manual set point setting
The selection is confirmed by touching .
The and icons in the lower right corner indicate whether the system is operating in heating or
air-conditioning mode respectively (icon illuminated = system on).

4.3 Away
This mode is useful to achieve energy savings quickly and effectively whenever the user leaves the reg-
ulated room.
In "Away" mode the system makes the adjustment according to the "away temperature" setpoint .
The Away mode can only be activated in manual mode by touching .
The display will show the "away temperature" setpoint for approximately 2 seconds:
Fig. 8: Input in away mode showing the away temperature
Activation of this mode is identified by the icon above the temperature indicator:

4.4 Nighttime reduction
This is the typical mode to use at night to reduce system consumption significantly.
In "Nighttime reduction" mode the device reduces the consumption of the system, taking the room tem-
perature to a lower value (or higher, if on air-conditioning) than the Manual mode by degrees. For
example, if the thermostat is operating in Manual mode with a temperature of 20°C with dTr equal to 4°C,
the temperature in heating mode during nighttime reduction will be equal to 20-4=16°C.
"Nighttime reduction" is activated starting from Manual mode by touching or remotely via the
multi-function input (if enabled).
The display will show the "nighttime reduction" setpoint for approximately 2 seconds:
Fig. 10: Input in Nighttime Reduction mode showing the reduction set point
Activation of this mode is identified by the icon above the temperature indicator:
Fig. 11: Nighttime reduction mode
To exit and return to Manual mode touch again:

10
4.5 Antifreeze
This mode, which can only be activated when the system is operating in heating mode, lets you set a
minimum temperature value ( setpoint) to avoid damage to the pipework or to keep it from falling below
a certain safety level when you are away for lengthy periods in the winter.
The "antifreeze" mode is activated directly from the Settings menu (see par. 6.1).
Once activated, antifreeze mode is identified by the icon above the temperature indicator.

4.6 Remote reduction
Remote reduction is a useful way to "centralize" energy saving if there are multiple 02905 thermostats in
different rooms of the same house.
It is similar to Nighttime reduction mode with the only difference being that activation is by remote control.
Example: Before going to bed, using a simple switch, all the thermostats in the house are set onto "reduc-
tion" at the same time.
This mode comes into operation when the multi-function input is activated only if this has been
suitably configured by your installer.
The multifunction input is activated solely when the thermostat is in Manual mode.
In "remote activation" mode, the device sets the temperature to a value equal to Tcomfort - .
In this condition the display and its buttons have limited functions; access to the settings menu is disabled
and you can only change the temperature setpoint within a limited range, if configured.
The "Remote reduction" mode is identified by the and icons located simultaneously above the
temperature indicator.
The and buttons let the user change the temperature in the range .
Fig. 13: Input in Remote reduction mode
On disabling the multi-function input, the thermostat returns to manual mode and the user can again
manage the device completely.

12
4.7 Remote activation
This mode is typically used in applications where you want to remotely enable or disable temperature
control of a room and limit the functions that can be performed by the user (typical mode for hotel room
management).
This mode comes into operation when the multi-function input is activated only if this has been
suitably configured by the installer.
In "remote activation" mode, the device sets the temperature to a value equal to Tcomfort.
In this condition the display and its buttons have limited functions; access to the settings menu is disabled
and you can only change the temperature setpoint within a limited range, if configured.
The "Remote activation" mode is identified by the icon located above the temperature indicator.
The and buttons let the user change the temperature in the range .
