6.3 Ecometer
Energy saving
Ring for the level of consumption indicator

Fig. 6: 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.

6.4 Locking the interface via PIN

The thermostat lets you set a password (see par. 8.9) 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
•N
 ighttime 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:
•R
 emote 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. 9) or by using the shortcut buttons
(see par. 7.3 and 7.4).

7.1 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 accessing the configuration
menu.

Fig. 8: Typical screen for OFF mode

For heating-only systems this mode is typically used in the summer.

8
7.2 Manual (ON)
This is the "traditional" operating mode. The thermostat controls the room temperature and takes it to the
value set by the user (manual adjustment setpoint).

Fig. 9: 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. 10: 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).

9
 7.3 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 (see
para. 9.4.2).
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. 11: Input in away mode showing the away temperature

Activation of this mode is identified by the icon above the temperature indicator:

Fig. 12: Away Mode

To exit and return to Manual mode touch the button again:

10
7.4 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 (see
par. 9.4.4).
"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. 13: Input in Nighttime Reduction mode showing the reduction set point

Activation of this mode is identified by the icon above the temperature indicator:

Fig. 14: Nighttime reduction mode

To exit and return to Manual mode touch again:

11
 7.5 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. 9.1).
Once activated, antifreeze mode is identified by the icon above the temperature indicator.

Fig. 15: Antifreeze mode

12
7.6 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 (see par. 4.1) only if it
has been properly configured; the activation of the configured multifunction input is considered
solely when the thermostat is in Manual mode.
In "remote reduction" mode, the device sets the temperature to a value equal to Tcomfort - (see
para. 9.4).
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. 16: 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.

13
 7.7 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.
For example, this is a typical mode in hotel room management.
This mode comes into operation when the multi-function input is activated (see par. 4.2) only if it
has been suitably configured by the installer (see par. 9.6).
In "remote activation" mode, the device sets the temperature to a value equal to Tcomfort (see para. 9.4).
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 .

Within 3 secs, touch and, using and , select EASY and then NO confirming with
both choices. The thermostat will restart, showing the normal operating mode.
N.B. When replacing the batteries, the set menu will automatically start when the thermostat is switched
back on, without having to repeat the above procedure.

• Reset to default parameters

Within 3 secs, touch and, using and , select rSEt and then YES confirming with
both choices. The thermostat will restart having restored the default parameters, including any PIN that has
been set.

15
9. Settings of the normal menu
From the settings menu you can configure all the features of the thermostat.

On the main screen (see Fig. 3) tap the icon.

From the main menu, using and will display the following (flashing) symbols in succession, which
provide access to the corresponding submenus:

1. operating mode setting

2. unit of measurement setting

3. and air-conditioning/heating setting

4. temperature setpoint setting

5. calibration setting

6. and multi-function input setting

7. OnOff/PID temperature control algorithm setting

8. device info

9. lock/unlock PIN setting

Touching opens the submenu and then the flashing highlights the parameters of the submenu.

9.1 Operating mode setting

This menu is used to select the operating mode of the device:
• Manual
• Off
• Antifreeze (only if the thermostat is set on "heating")

Using and select the required mode and confirm with .

9.2 Unit of measurement setting

• The menu lets you set the unit of measurement used for the temperature (°C or °F)

Using and select the required unit of measurement and confirm with .

16
9.3 Heating/air-conditioning setting
This menu lets you set the operation of the device depending on the season (winter/summer):
• heating
• air-conditioning

Using and select the required operation and confirm with .

9.4 Temperature set point setting

This menu lets you set the temperatures and hystereses necessary for defining the temperature control
set-point used in the different operating modes.
In particular, you can have setpoints for:

1. temperature Tcomfort *

2. and temperature of the Away mode *

3. and temperature of the Antifreeze mode

4. and thermal delta in Nighttime reduction mode

5. thermal delta with thermostat controlled remotely or inhibited by PIN

6. temperature differential of the device (only if in OnOff adjustment mode)

* CAUTION: Depending on the mode the thermostat is in (heating or air-conditioning), setting this
setpoint acts only on the value associated with the current mode highlighted by the or icon
(for example, T.comfort of heating mode).
After then changing the setpoints of the current mode in succession, change the mode and set all
the setpoints corresponding to it.

9.4.1 Comfort temperature

This menu, via and , lets you increase/decrease the value of the comfort temperature
.
The Tcomfort temperature is the "reference" temperature used in the remote settings and can be
defined as the "comfort temperature" that you want to reach after remote activation. In addition,
it can also be the temperature at which to apply the thermal delta for nighttime reduction when it
is activated via the multi-function input.
The comfort temperature differs depending on whether you are in the heating or air-conditioning
mode.

17
 9.4.2 Away temperature
This menu, via and , lets you increase/decrease the value of the away temperature
.
The away temperature, preset by the user, is an intermediate temperature geared to obtain sub-
stantial energy savings during periods when the user is away.
The away temperature differs depending on whether you are in the heating or air-conditioning
mode.

9.4.3 Antifreeze temperature

This menu, via and , lets you increase/decrease the value of the antifreeze tem-
perature .
Antifreeze mode is used to set a minimum temperature level to avoid damage to the pipework or
keep the room temperature from falling below a safety level (see par. 7.5).

9.4.4 Nighttime reduction thermal delta

This menu, via and , lets you set the difference between the Nighttime reduction
temperature and Tcomfort temperature (or the temperature set in Manual mode).
The hysteresis is an increase/decrease in temperature that is applied to the Manual setting (when
nighttime reduction is activated by the display) or to Tcomfort (when nighttime reduction is acti-
vated by the multi-function input); the thermal delta value is identical both in heating mode and in
air-conditioning mode with the only difference being that in the former case it causes a decrease
in the set point while in the latter one it determines an increase.
The nighttime reduction mode can be activated either locally or via the multi-function input (if
configured appropriately).

9.4.5 User settable thermal delta

This menu, via and , lets you set the range of values ​​within which the user can adjust
the temperature when the menus are inhibited following remote activation or entering the PIN.
When the thermostat is turned on remotely (via the multi-function input when suitably configured),
the control temperature is fixed and therefore cannot be changed; with not zero instead,
the user can modify the temperature within a certain range.
For example: multi-function input set as remote activation, T. comfort set at 20.0°C. Setting the
thermal delta to 0.8°C allows the user to change the temperature setting from 19.2°C (20.0°C -
0.8°C) to 20.8 (20.0°C + 0.8°C).

18
 9.4.6 Hysteresis of the device
This menu, via and , lets you set the temperature range of the heating/air-condition-
ing system between "ON" and "OFF".
This value can also be changed via the submenu for ON/OFF operation.
The parameter cannot be changed if the thermostat is set as PID operation.

For example: Heating, with setpoint on 20.0°C, : 0.5°C    20.5 (off), 19.9 (on)

9.5 Calibration setting

This menu lets you "calibrate" the temperature read by the thermostat.
Using and , you can add or subtract (at intervals of 0.1°) a fixed amount from the temperature
detected by the thermostat to make it equal, for example, to that of a sample thermometer.
CAUTION: For correct calibration it is recommended to wait until the thermostat has been on for
at least 1 hour in a room at constant temperature.

Tap to confirm your choice.

9.6 Multi-function input setting

This menu is used to set the operating mode of the multi-function input.

Using and you can select the following options:

• : the state of the multi-function input is ignored by the device.
• (remote activation): the multi-function input (when enabled) automatically sets the “Tcomfort”
temperature as the setpoint.
In this context, the user can only change the temperature within a narrow range and cannot carry
out any further operations on the device; with the multi-function input disabled, the default mode is
"Antifreeze" (or OFF if on air-conditioning) and the user can manage the thermostat completely.
•  (remote nighttime reduction): the multi-function input (when enabled) forces a reduction in tem-
perature (which can be set via the submenu associated with that selection) with respect to “Tcomfort”.
In this context, the user can change the temperature within a narrow range and cannot carry out any
other operations on the thermostat; with the multi-function input disabled, the thermostat returns to the
previously set operating mode and the user can manage the thermostat completely.

•  (summer/winter switching): the multi-function input automatically switches the thermostat onto
air-conditioning mode (when on) or heating mode (when off).
On enabling this selection, the submenu described in 8.3 is no longer displayed.
This option is useful for centralized systems in which the air-conditioning or heating mode is performed
at the level of the entire building and impacts on many sub-environments.

Tap to confirm your choice.

19
 9.7 OnOff/PID setting
This menu lets you select the way in which the ambient temperature will be controlled.
Via and you can select the following options:

• (OnOff control): this is the traditional "threshold" control so that, on exceeding the set tem-
perature increased by (vice versa for air-conditioning), the heating is switched off to then be turned
back on when the room temperature drops below the set temperature.
The value can be set directly via the submenu that follows this selection.

• (P.I.D. control): this is an evolved algorithm that is able to keep the temperature in the envi-
ronment more stable, increasing comfort; this algorithm switches the system on and off appropriately so
there will be a gradual increase or decrease in the thermal (or refrigerating) power of the system itself.
To take full advantage of its performance it needs to be suitably calibrated according to the type of envi-
ronment and heating system; in the light of this, the following parameters must be set via the submenus
that follow this selection:
• (breadth of adjustment range): starting from the set temperature, Tb is the temperature range
in which the heating power goes from 0% to 100%.
For example: with the temperature (for heating) set to 20.0°C and Tb=4.0°C, the thermostat acti-
vates the heating system on 100% when T.ambient is <= 16.0°C; as this temperature increases, the
system power is consequently lowered down to 0% when the ambient temperature reaches 20°C.
The value of Tb must be set consistently with the thermal capacity of the system; in general, it is
recommended to use small values of ​​ Tb for environments with a good level of thermal insulation
and vice versa.
• (system cycle time): this is the time in which a cycle of regulation is completed; the shorter this
time, the better the regulation but the temperature control system is under greater stress.
This parameter setting is thus the result of a compromise between the accuracy of the regulator
and the load on the system; in general, the rule is that Tb can be that much higher (and therefore
put fewer demands on the system), the slower the system or the larger the environment to regulate.

Tap to confirm your choice.

20
9.8 Info
The menu lets you view information related to the thermostat.
Using and you can select:

•  : displays the number of hours that the thermostat relay has been on (the same as the number of
hours of operation of the system).
The counter can be reset, for example at changes in season to differentiate between heating and
air-conditioning, by pressing and holding the button.
•  displays the software version of the device.

9.9 Lock/unlock PIN setting

This menu lets you add/change the password to inhibit use of the thermostat.
Using and set the three digits of the PIN one at a time and then confirm each set digit
with .
If you wish to have free access to the thermostat (so without it prompting you for a password) it is suf-
ficient to set the PIN to "000".
