GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GecApp crono Wi-Fi is a Wi-Fi touch screen programmable thermostat that allows you to control
the temperature in your home via an App in a simple and intuitive manner, using your
Smartphone or Tablet.
GecApp crono Wi-Fi is equipped with a back-lit display with graphical display of temperatures,
editable through simple and functional controls that facilitate programming. GecApp crono Wi-Fi
allows you to control both heating and cooling systems.
It helps you save energy by activating the heating or air conditioning systems only when needed.
GecApp crono Wi-Fi features:
-
an input (EXT PROBE) to which you can connect a 4-metre long external temperature probe
(code 20301037);
-
a remote input to which you can connect an external device to find a specific event, such as
opening/closing of a valve, an alarm etc.
Contact opening/ closing involves sending a push-notification to your Smartphone/Tablet.
-
a second relay (AUX) can be controlled automatically (Auto) via the Programmable Thermostat
allowing you to replicate the status of the Programmable Thermostat on other thermostats or
programmable thermostats installed in your home or, in Manual mode (On-Off), it allows you to
enable/disable external devices and/or systems.
POWER SUPPLY 230Vac-50/60Hz
N.B. BEFORE CONNECTING THE PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT GecApp crono Wi-Fi,
CUT OFF THE MAINS VOLTAGE.
Remove the two screws from the "Base" of the GecApp crono Wi-Fi and remove the RED
COVER (if installed) to access the power supply terminals.
N.B. The GecApp crono Wi-Fi programmable thermostat is powered at 230Vac-50/60Hz via
terminals "L" and "N" (terminal block M2), (Fig. 1).
Once you have completed wiring, fit the RED COVER.
Fig.1
Gecapp crono Wi-Fi also features TWO AAA ALKALINE BATTERIES RECHARGEABLE at 1.2V acting as back-up battery in case of power failure (if the symbol is lit). Actually,
they keep day and hour of the programmable thermostat updated.
Without mains voltage (the symbol lit) GecApp crono Wi-Fi disables the operation
of the relays. The batteries are essential deactivate the relay in the absence of power from the
mains. The mini batteries rechargeable at 1.2V can be easily inserted in the dedicated battery
compartment located under the flap, following the polarity indicated on the plastic casing (Fig. 2).
When the batteries must be replaced, dispose of the used ones in the appropriate bins for separate
waste collection.

You should always use new batteries and replace them every 2 years.
REL 1 WIRING
Via the terminal block REL1 (M4), able to withstand a charge of 5A-250Vac, it is possible to
connect the following devices (heating/cooling) using the diagrams below:
Fig.3
EXT PROBE CONNECTION
Gecapp crono Wi-Fi allows you to connect an external temperature probe 4-metre long (code
2.030.1037) to EXT PROBE terminals (M1) (Fig. 4).
After connecting the external temperature probe, set the switch (S1 in Fig. 4) at the rear of the
programmable thermostat to position Ext and set the type of PROBE in the Settings MENU ' of
the programmable thermostat.
The programmable thermostat GecApp crono Wi-Fi will use the EXT PROBE as room
temperature sensor.

REMOTE INPUT
GecApp crono Wi-Fi has a REMOTE input (M3) (Fig. 5) to which you can connect a device or
system to know a specific event such as opening or closing of a valve, blockage of the boiler, an
alarm ... etc.
The REMOTE input is a dry NO contact (Normally Open).
Fig.5
AUX OUTPUT
GecApp crono Wi-Fi has an AUX relay (M5) that allows to activate/deactivate thermostats,
programmable thermostats (T-Touch, Green) and many other devices.
The AUX relay (M5) (Fig. 6), has 3 voltage-free contacts: COM, NO, NC, able to withstand a
maximum charge of 5A-250Vac.
Fig.6
The AUX output can be set:
- to AUTOMATIC operation (Auto):
The auxiliary relay follows the state of the programmable thermostat
GecApp crono Wi-Fi. If the GecApp crono Wi-Fi is set to ON, the
auxiliary relay is ON (Closed).
If the GecApp crono Wi-Fi is set to OFF, the auxiliary relay is OFF (Open).
- to MANUAL mode (ON-OFF):
If you set the auxiliary Relay to ON, the AUX output will be ON (Closed). If you
set the auxiliary Relay to OFF, the AUX output will be OFF (Open).
The AUX output can be set via the App or via the programmable thermostat GecApp crono Wi-Fi
in the Settings MENU- AUX.
ATTENTION: The AUX output goes to OFF mode If there is no mains voltage and cannot be set.
INSTALLATION
GecApp crono Wi-Fi can be installed directly on 3 modules or in built-in
box on the wall using the screws supplied (Fig. 7).
In both cases the recommended height is 1.5 m above the floor, in a dry
place, protected from direct airflow and away from heat sources.
N.B. When mounting the section between the BASE and the FRONT
SIDE pay attention to carry out the CONNECTIONS on the back of the
programmable thermostat.

FIRST START-UP
Once the programmable thermostat GecApp crono Wi-Fi is powered, it runs a checkup
cycle, switching on all display sections by enabling the charge for a few seconds (Fig. 10).
Thereupon, the programmable thermostat GecApp crono Wi-Fi displays the Home page
(Fig.11). After about ten seconds, the display goes in STAND-BY mode (Fig. 12). Upon first
start-up, the Wi-Fi module is off.
Fig.10 Fig.11 Fig.12
Gecapp crono Wi-Fi has already stored a weekly schedule of temperatures which can be
changed as needed (Fig.12).

TEMPERATURE CHART PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT
DISPLAY.
The programmable thermostat GecApp crono Wi-Fi features a temperature chart that shows a
diagram composed of 24 columns representing the HOURS of the day.
For every hour you can program two temperatures:
-the temperature of the FIRST HALF HOUR (i.e. from 00:00 to 00:29)
-the temperature of the SECOND HALF HOUR (i.e. from 00:30 to 00:59)
The height of the columns will change only when you will program the temperatures in the FIRST
HALF AN HOUR.
- Each COLUMN is made up of three temperature SLIDERS (Fig. 13):
Fig. 13
In WINTER mode” ” :
3
rd
SLIDER which includes temperatures from 20.0°C to 30.0°C.
2
nd
SLIDER which includes temperatures from 16.1°C to 19.9°C.

st
SLIDER which includes temperatures from 5.0°C to 16.0°C.
In SUMMER mode “ ” :

SLIDER which includes temperatures from 29.0°C to 35.0°C.
2
nd
SLIDER which includes temperatures from 27.0°C to 28.9°C.
1
st
SLIDER which includes temperatures from 15.0°C to 26.9°C.
Let’s suppose you set the temperature of time "0":
Programming the temperature at 18°C in the FIRST HALF HOUR as the TIME "0" column will
change its height from the pre-set program (Fig. 14.
Programming the temperature to 25°C in the SECOND HALF-HOUR, the HOURS column "0"
will remain unchanged (Fig. 15).
Fig.14 Fig.15
Therefore: Programming of temperature in the SECOND HALF HOUR of every HOUR, does
NOT change the corresponding HOUR column, even if you set a different temperature than the
temperature of the FIRST HALF HOUR. The display will show a graphical representation of
programmed temperatures throughout the day. Depending on the currently active HOUR, the
slider of the corresponding temperature flashes.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION CONTACT
Enabling or disabling of the heating/cooling system occurs when
the temperature reaches the thresholds programmed by switching
the dedicated contact of the relay.
The symbol to activate the heating/cooling system
is (Fig.16). Fig.16

CORT
(Correction of temperature measured)
Temperature correction Cort" is a function used in case you have an incorrect measurement
of room temperature due to distracting elements such as convection heaters, refrigerators etc
etc.
GecApp crono Wi-Fi alows you to compensate the temperature measured by the
programmable thermostat within a range of -5°C to +5°C.
Example:
Suppose you set the "Temperature correction"”Cort" to:-2.0°C.
Supposing that GecApp crono Wi-Fi measures on display a temperature of 20.0°C compared to
an actual temperature of 22.5°C in the room.
In this case you can use the "Temperature Correction" function and set the value to +2.5°C
so that: 20°C+2.5°C =22.5°
