Installing your thermostat
3 Mounting and installation
● The thermostat is suitable for wall mounting.
● The recommended height is 1.50 m above the floor.
● Do not mount the thermostat in recesses, shelves, behind curtains or doors, or
above or near heat sources.
● Avoid direct solar radiation and drafts.
● Seal the conduit box or the installation tube if any, as air currents can affect
sensor readings.
● Adhere to allowed ambient conditions.
1. Switch off power to your heating system by using either your home’s breaker box or the system’s power switch.
2. Remove the cover of your old thermostat.
3. Label the wires according to your old thermostat terminal designations, using
the stickers provided together with the thermostat. It is also helpful if you take a
picture of the current wire connections for reference later on.

4. Disconnect all the labeled wires and then remove your old thermostat.
NOTICE! Do not throw your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in
a sealed tube. You can contact a thermostat recycling organization, for
example, www.thermostat-recycle.org, for safe disposal of your old thermostat.
5. Check whether you need to have more wires connected to the power unit to be
installed. If yes, prepare the wires and label them accordingly. Normally, at
least three wires are needed for the thermostat to work meaningfully. It is
strongly recommended that you turn to installers for wire connection.
6. Seal the conduit box or the installation tube to prevent entrance of cold or warm
air and ensure the correctness of temperature readings by the internal sensor.
7. Screw the mounting plate tightly on the conduit box using a screwdriver,
making sure that the mounting plate is placed correctly (the part with the
upward arrow is placed on the top).
8. Connect the labeled wires to the terminal tightly according to your thermostat
terminal designations (you may also refer to the picture you take in Step3), and
then fix all the inserted wires by screwing down the screws. Note that the wiring
for your application might be different from the schematic drawing shown
below.
9. Screw the power unit on the mounting plate tightly.
10. Attach the front module horizontally, making sure that each side of the front
module fully aligns with that of the power unit, and then press each corner of
the front module until you hear a click sound.

Wiring
11. Switch on power to your heating system. Your thermostat powers on too.
See the Mounting instructions for more information. Note that a bridge between
one Q11 terminal and terminal L is pre-wired. It is not recommended to remove this
pre-wiring bridge unless requested.
● Comply with local regulations to wire, fuse and earth the thermostat. It is
recommended that the conduit box is connected to the earth (safety ground).
● Adapt the line diameters as per local regulations to the rated value of the
installed overcurrent protection device.
● The line voltage cables and signal cables should be arranged separately.
● X1, M and X2 wires operate at SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) level. You
must not insert cables of AC 230 V mains voltage into terminals X1, M and X2
and vice versa.
● Isolate the cables of inputs X1, M and X2 from the AC 230 V mains voltage.
● The AC 230 V mains supply line must have an external circuit breaker with a
rated current of no more than 10 A.
● You must not tear off the two insulation tapes on the lower part of the back of
the power unit; otherwise, it might cause risks of electric shock.
● Properly size the cables to the thermostat and valve actuators.
● Do screw the cables tightly and ensure that no bare copper is exposed.
● Use valve actuators rated for AC 230 V. If a valve actuator rated for AC 24 V is
used, use a transformer before connecting it to the thermostat.
● Disconnect from power supply before removing the front module and the
mounting plate.

scheduler you’ve set (if you haven’t set one, the thermostat works
following a default scheduler).
OFF
Depending on how you’ve set up the thermostat, this mode can
mean one of the following:
● Your heating equipment turns off completely.
● Your thermostat only works to maintain the system’s
protection setpoint so that your heating equipment is not
destroyed if the room air temperature is too low, or if the air is
too humidified or dry. For more information about the
protection setpoint, see Managing application settings [
27].
Deactivation of this mode switches the thermostat to the
scheduler you’ve set (if you haven’t set one, the thermostat

6.2.2 Operating modes in a scheduler
Operating mode overview
These operating modes are different in terms of temperature setpoints, humidity
setpoints and de-humidity setpoints. You can adjust these setpoints for different
operating modes under
setpoint or de-humidity setpoint, you can temporarily adjust the temperature
setpoint directly from the thermostat home screen or using the mobile app.
You can only see and schedule these operating modes in a mobile app. However,
on the hardware unit, you can switch the thermostat to operate automatically
following a scheduler. When a scheduler is running, the above modes operate as
scheduled within different periods of a day (If you haven’t set one, the thermostat
works following a default scheduler). If you’ve changed a temperature setpoint
when a scheduler is running, your change only works temporarily within the current
scheduled mode and will be overridden to the scheduled settings when the next
scheduled mode starts. You can see the overriding information on both the
thermostat screen and app screen.
NOTE: See Setting schedulers [ 45] for more details about scheduling.

If you want to change any of your initial setup options that you’ve already
configured during the startup wizard, you can change them later under
settings. You can also change some other default system setup options to suit your
own needs. However, we recommend that only installers or experts with detailed
know-how about your thermostat modify the setup options.
Changing basic configurations of the thermostat allows you to change the
equipment type that your thermostat is working together with. The equipment could
be one of the following:
● Gas boiler
● Radiator with valve
● Radiator with pump
● Electric floor heating
● Fan with electric heating
● Floor heating with valve
● Floor heating with pump
● Electric radiator
● Electric boiler
● Generic heating device
If the selected equipment is related to a pump or valve, you can decide whether to
run the pump or valve periodically.

periodically by dragging the slider on the screen.
By changing extended configurations, you can:
● Change input assignments. Before you configure or change to another input, it
is strongly recommended that you’ve connected corresponding peripheral
devices to terminal X1 or X2. The input can be:
– Room temperature
– Operating mode switch

The thermostat switches to the OFF mode if you’ve configured the input as
Normally open. For example, if a thermostat in a hotel is configured to
Normally open for this input, when a hotel guest pulls out the room card, it
activates
Normally open. The thermostat switches to the OFF mode. Once
the room card is inserted again, the thermostat restarts the previously
running mode.
If you’ve assigned the X1 or X2 input as
configured the input as
Normally open but physically terminal X1/X2 is not
Operating mode switch and
connected with any corresponding peripheral devices, the thermostat may
switch to the
OFF mode in the end and refuse to respond if you touch the
screen. In this case, you need to create a short loop by connecting the wire
in the exact input terminal with a wire in terminal M. For more information,
see Why does the thermostat switch to the OFF mode after I’ve assigned
another input for X1 or X2? [
49]
– Universal contact
– Floor temperature. This input is selectable only if you’ve configured the
equipment type as
Electric floor heating.
– Outside air temperature
– Room air humidity
– Presence detector
– Condensation monitor. If you’ve configured a condensation monitor as an
input, the condensation monitor detects the relative humidity in the room.
You are warned if the condensation monitor senses that the condensation
point is approaching.
● Change input signal types based on the input type you’ve assigned. The
following signal types are supported:
NOTICE! If you haven’t configured the corresponding application, some inputs
may not be selectable.
– Digital input, normally open or closed
– LG-Ni1000
– Pt1000 (EU)
– Pt1000 (NA)
– NTC 10k
– 0…10 V*
● Set sensor evaluation mode if an external sensor is connected to either
terminal X1 or X2. You can use either the built-in and external sensors, or the
external sensors, for controlling and monitoring. The former is selected by
default. However, if no physical external sensors are connected to any control
inputs or if the input values are invalid, only the built-in sensors are used
instead to provide values for the thermostat. If external sensors are connected
and can provide valid values with the built-in sensors, the thermostat reacts
differently depending on the type of the external sensor:
– Displays the average value if it is an external temperature or humidity
sensor.
– Enable presence detection related functions no matter whether it is the
external or the built-in presence detection sensor detects that someone is
in the room.
● If you’ve configured the equipment type as
Electric floor heating, choose to
activate or deactivate the floor temperature input.
● Configure the output as a humidifier free-standing, a dehumidifier free-standing
or a domestic hot water boiler.
● Activate or deactivate the optimum start settings for heating. Activating the
optimum start settings allows the room to be pre-heated so that you can get the
scheduled temperature setpoint at your scheduled occupied time.

11.1.5 Why does the thermostat switch to the OFF mode after I’ve
assigned another input for X1 or X2?
This may occur because you’ve assigned the X1 or X2 input as
switch and configured the input as Normally open but physically terminal X1/X2 is
not connected with any corresponding peripheral devices. In this case, you must
create a short loop by connecting the wire in the exact input terminal with a wire in
terminal M.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that only installers do the following.
To create a short loop between terminals X1/X2 and M
The thermostat is in an OFF mode and doesn't respond to any touching
actions.

No, you can’t. The Green leaf settings are defined by the system and are not
changeable from user side.
For more information about Green leaf, see Green leaf indication [ 38].
11.1.9 Can I change the air quality measurement standard?
No, you can’t. The thermostat decides the air quality status using the VOC levels
that are defined by the system and not changeable from user side.
For more information about air quality, see Air quality display [ 39].
11.1.10 Where can I check the current time on the thermostat?
You can check the time under
● If the thermostat has WLAN connection now and hasn't been powered off for
more than three minutes, the time is displayed validly and correctly.
● If the thermostat has WLAN connection now but has been powered off for more
than three minutes, the time may be displayed invalidly temporarily but will be
synchronized with the server within 24 hours. Once the synchronization is
done, the time will be displayed correctly again.
● If the thermostat doesn't have WLAN connection now, see more information in
this section: Can the thermostat display the time correctly if there is no WLAN
connection? [ 50]
NOTE: To display the time correctly, it is important to set the time zone correctly.
See Changing a time zone [
Advanced settings > Time.
27] for more information.
