The Chronotherm Modulation is designed to provide automatic time and
temperature control of heating systems. These instructions explain how to
program and operate your Chronotherm Modulation.
Chronotherm Modulation can be used with all OpenTherm® compatible boilers.
The OpenTherm® compatible boilers are marked with OT logo shown below.
OpenTherm® communication
Chronotherm Modulation is a programmable thermostat that controls your heating
system so that you can have comfortable temperatures when you are at home and
energy savings when you are out. To ensure that your heating system is operating
in most efficient way Chronotherm Modulation not only switches the boiler on and
off but also modulates the flame to finely match the heating output of the heating
appliance to the current heat demand.
To maximise energy efficiency Chronotherm Modulation has build -in Adaptive
Intelligent Recovery function Instead of switching the heating on at the set time
every day, the controller will delay the start time to the latest possible moment, so
that unnecessary heating is avoided. All you have to do is set the time by which
you want to be warm and Chronotherm Modulation will then decide when to turn
the heating on.
CONTROLS LAYOUT
These two buttons can
also be used when the
flap is closed
1 Day button allows you to set correct day of the week.
2 The display continuously shows information about time, day of the week and
temperature. The Energy meter allows you to see the current firing rate of the
boiler. A radiator or tap symbol is shown when boiler is servicing central
heating or domestic hot water.
3 These buttons are used to adjust the temperature level. You can operate
these buttons also when the flap is closed.
4 “
” Enquiry button is used to display the set room temperature level and the
outside temperature (only if the outside temperature sensor is connected to
your boiler).
5 The holiday function allows setting of a setback temperature for a period of
maximum 99 days. The same function can also be used as timed program
override providing energy savings or extended comfort period.
6 These buttons are used to program up to six temperature changes per day.
7 Slider position defines the operating mode. When slider is set to AUTO the
Chronotherm will operate according to the program.
8 Time adjustment buttons are used for clock and temperature change
settings.
9 The copy button allows you to copy the time/temperature program to the next
day.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Modulating control
The Chronotherm Modulation continuously adapts the firing rate of the boiler to
the required heat demand. This results in a very accurate control of the room
temperature. The modulating control is only possible if the heating appliance is
supporting OpenTherm® communications.
®
OpenTherm
The Chronotherm Modulation exchanges information with the heating appliance
using OpenTherm® two-way communication protocol.
NOTE: The amount and type of information that can be displayed as well as
appliance specific information codes may vary.
Refer to the user manual of the appliance for this specific information.
Optimizing through the intelligent adaptive recovery (AIR) feature.
To achieve the required temperature in the house we typically set the on time for
the heating system earlier than required. In this way we can be sure that we will
have the comfortable temperature when we wake up. As we never can guess
precisely when the heating should come on we tend to stay on the save side
setting the on time earlier then required. Consequently we have to pay for keeping
the house at comfort temperature longer then necessary. The Chronotherm
Modulation solves this problem completely. It checks every day how much time is
required to heat up your home. Using this data the Chronotherm Modulation
calculates the precise moment when to start the heating up the next day to
achieve comfort temperature exactly when you want it. Consequently you do not
have to take the warm up time into account when programming. The Chronotherm
Modulation activates adaptive intelligent recovery function before every
programmed temperature level increase.
NOTE: After installation Chronotherm will require a couple of days to learn how to
calculate ON times for a particular house.
Program up to six time/temperature periods per day.
You have the possibility to set 6 different periods for each day of the week. The
time/temperature periods are marked with numbers 1 to 6.
The start time and temperature level for each period is programmable within the
temperature setting range of 5 to 30°C.
Backup during power supply failure
Your Chronotherm Modulation operates without batteries. The power is supplied
through the communication connection. In case of the mains power loss a
rechargeable backup power supply is sufficient to keep the program and the clock
settings for at least 8 hours. If the backup supply is exhausted the display will be
blank and the individual program will be deleted. After the mains supply has been
reestablished the factory program will be activated and the display will flash at
12.00. It will take between 10 and 60 minutes (dependant on the operating
conditions) to charge the backup supply.
The energy meter
If the burner of the boiler is energized, a bar of flames will be shown on the left
side of the display. This allows you to check at all times at what firing rate your
boiler is operating. (The percentages in the above graph are indicative only.
Dependant on the modulation band of your boiler the in between values may vary)
The radiator or tap symbol indicates if energy is being used for central heating or
the domestic hot water (if applicable).
Unique holiday/timer function
The holiday button allows you to override your normal temperature profile and set
the fixed temperature level for a defined time. You can set the required
temperature for as long as 99 days or as short as 1 hour.
Intelligent DHW control
If you own a boiler that also provides hot water (combi boiler) then the
Chronotherm Modulation can provide additional savings.
In the FROST PROTECTION or HOLIDAY/TIMER function, the Chronotherm
Modulation will switch off the DHW function or (dependant of the appliance) will
switch to a savings mode. In this way the DHW storage will not be kept on a high
comfort temperature if this is not necessary.
If desired it is possible to switch off the DHW during the night setback period. Your
installer can set this for you.
NOTE: This function is only available if your boiler is suitable for this
communication. Consult the user manual of the boiler or ask your installer.

PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT
Before you start programming
You can program your Chronotherm Modulation only if the mains supply of the
boiler is switched on, the electrical connection to the boiler is made and the
thermostat has been mounted on the wall plate. When the power for the
thermostat is present the display will be activated and the clock will start.
NOTE: Operate the keypad with your fingertips only. Sharp objects like pens or
pencils can damage the keypad.
