1. Description
The electronic chronothermostat for the ambient air temperature
control art. 16577 is one among the 200 functions of the idea series
for flush installation.
The equipment controls the ambient air temperature acting on the
supply circuit of the burner or of the water circulation pump (heating ,
or on the air-conditioner supply circuit (air-conditioning and it
guarantees an ideal ambient air temperature every day, during the
whole week.
Thanks to its various functions, it allows to choose between a factory
preset program that can be changed at one’s will, and an own, easy
to obtain, program setting.
Its wide data display indicates at any time the selected program or the
operating state of the installation.
The hysteresis, the maximum gap between the ambient air
temperature and the assigned value, can also be set between ±0.1 °C
and ±0.9 °C.
The chronothermostat is supplied through 3 1.5 V LR03 AAA alkaline
batteries (not delivered , lasting approximately 1 year.
A 2 minutes power reserve is granted to allow the batteries
replacement without losing the set regulations.
