AUTO-mode In the AUTO-mode SPARmatic Zero changes between to temperatures according to the time programme that has been set:

comfort temperature (factory preset 21°C)

economy temperature (factor y preset 16°C)

The heating and economy times can be speciﬁ ed via the adjustable time programme. It is possible to set 8 switch points (4 heating and 4 economy times) per day at the most. SPARmatic Zero has the following factory preset:

Heating time:

Heating with comfort temperature (factor y preset: 1

Economy time :

lowering to economy temperature (factor y preset: 1

heating time at 07:00)

economy time at 22:00)

Setting heating and economy times

With SPARmatic Zero it is possible to set 4 heating and 4 economy times per day – one for each day or one for a block of several days. TAG1 to TAG7 represent the weekdays from Monday to Sunday. Additionally, the corresponding days are shown as abbreviation below the menu bar on the display.

Freeze protection and calciﬁ cation protection function are active automatically:

Freeze protection fu nction

If the temperature drops below 6°C, SPARmatic Zero opens the valve until the temperature again rises above 8°C. This prevents the radiators from freezing.

Calciﬁ cation protection function

To prevent radiator valves from calcifying SPARmatic Zero is submitted to a calciﬁ cation protection programme once a week on Friday mornings.

Cleaning and used devices

Cleaning

To clean the SPARmatic Zero use only a dr y or lightly wet cloth. Avoid chemical solvent – it can probably damage the device.

Used devices

Do not throw old devices and packaging into the household waste. They can be recycled. You receive further information at your local government.

Help

Problem Cause Solution

Heating element does not warm up.

Heating element does not cool down.

Pressure piece falls out (This can also cause an E1-error)

Batteries do not have enough power.

Is the boiler water temperature O.K.?

Valve does not open, is it calciﬁ ed after the summer pause / heating pause?

Valve does not close completely. It may be that the closing point of your valve seat has shifted.

Due to an endlessthread the pressure piece, which is situated at the bottom, can fall out if the device has not been afﬁ xed on the valve.

By pressing any key the error message will be deleted in the display and the adapter is re-started.

Replace batteries.

Adjust the temperature of the boiler water.

Remove the SPARmatic Zero, move the valve stem back and forth per hand or with a tool.

Adapt again (see “Adapting”) Move the valve stem several times by hand, it may be that adaptation is impossible because your valve is calciﬁ ed or the seat no longer performs its function.

Put in the pressure piece. The device can be adapted by pressing the

-point or by removing and inserting the batteries. The endlessthread is rotating now and ﬁ xes the pressure piece again. Just install it to the radiator and adapt it once again.

Problem Cause Solution

No adaptation possible. SPARmatic Zero is not installed to the heater.

Valve stroke is too short.

Motor movement is not possible.

Is the installation OK? Install SPARmatic Zero to the heater.

Open and close the valve several times manually or replace the batteries.

Does the valve stem move freely?
