INSTALLATION

- Association between Chronos RF and remote actuator

Because the Chronos RF and a remote actuator can communicate correctly, it's necessary to perform a procedure called “self-learning”, during which the remote actuator recognizes and stores the identity of Chronos RF.

To perform the self-learning proceed as follows:

  1. Activate the channel configuration of the remote actuator (see the instructions). The actuator remains in configuration mode for a pre-set time, within which it must receive the configuration string from Chronos RF.

  2. Insert the batteries in the Chronos RF, respecting the polarity indicated on the

instrument (to access the batteries compartment it's necessary to unhook the thermostat from the base by pressing the tab at the bottom of the instrument).

After about 3 seconds the Chronos RF initiates the configuration procedure (indicated by ConF on the display) followed by a short test procedure (indicated by EEST on the display) where Chronos RF sends the sequence on-off-on-off to the actuator.

  1. Upon receipt of the configuration string, the remote actuator is configured and resumes the normal operation while the Chronos RF requires date and time insertion (the programming keys will be active only after you have hooked the thermostat at the base)

Note: to associate a second remote actuator, activate the configuration of the actuator channel and, while this last is in configuration mode, remove the thermostat from the base and re-put it (the cronothermostat starts the configuration procedure to which follows the testing procedure).

• Indications for placement

The Chronos RF is designed for wall-mounting installation or to cover the 503 box

Technical line drawing of a mechanical clamp or bracket assembly with screws and bolts (no text or symbols)

Fix the base on the wall using the screws supplied.

Technical diagram showing a device with two labeled components (1 and 2) and an arrow indicating rotation or assembly.

Attach the chronothermostat to the base, at first mating teeth first placed on the upper side.

Place the chronothermostat at a height at about 1.5 m above the floor, away from direct sunlight, away from doors, windows, heat sources, locations with excess or total lack of aeration.

The actuator is usually placed near the boiler to pilot.

Attention: the maximum distance between Chronos RF and remote actuator is about 50 m in free field. This value is reduced if there are obstacles in the middle (for example, reinforced concrete walls).

- Clock setting

Once the instrument is mains powered, set the clock (time and date insertion).

The parameters to enter are the following:

seconds (only synchronisation at value 00), minutes, hours, year, month, day.

Use the keys ▲ and ▼ to increase and decrease the values and the key to confirm and to move to the next parameter.

graph TD A["Seconds synchronisation"] --> B["Minutes setting"] B --> C["Time setting"] C --> D["Month setting"] D --> E["Day setting"]

Once all values are set, press for a long time (3 seconds) the key SET to exit the menu of the clock synchronisation.

At this point the chronothermostat will begin to operate with the set default parameters (see page 32) displaying the day of the week, the time, the environment temperature and the graphic of the program on.

When Chronos RF sends an on or off command to the remote actuator, icon 📋 (field 2) lights for a moment.

For further information about regulation type see the chapter “Regulation types” on page 24.

Regulation parameters

In case of on/off regulation the only parameter to set is the hysteresis (d IF), which can have values between 0.1 °C e 1 °C.

In case of proportional regulation the parameters to set are the regulation band (bnd) e il periodo di regolazione (PEr).

For further information about how to choose these values see the chapter "Regulation types" on page 24.

But remember that the preset settings are suitable for the most part of the situations: to change these settings only if it's really necessary.

Antifreeze temperature (only for heating mode)

For the heating mode it's possible to set a safety temperature (antifreeze temperature - OFF) to maintain also if the chronothermostat is switched off.

It's possible to choose a value between 1 °C and 50 °C. It's also possible to deactivate the antifreeze function pressing the key ▼ until the display shows “_._”. In this case, if the chronothermostat is switched off, no safety temperature is maintained.

SUMMER TIME CHANGE

Summer time is the convention to step up of one hour the dials of the clocks during the summer period in order to prolong the lighting time in the late afternoon to the loss of the early morning.

In European countries summer time starts the last Sunday of march and ends the last Sunday of october.

The chronothermostat manages the summer/winter time change as follows:

  • increasing of one hour to move from winter time to summer time
  • decreasing of one hour to move from summer time to winter time

In off status the instrument is configured to move from summer time the last Sunday of march at 02:00 o' clock to go back to winter time the last Sunday of October at 03:00 o'clock in accordance with Europe convention.

However it's possible to deactivate the automatic time change or to change the date and the hour of the time change.

To change settings:

  1. access the menu of time and date change, pressing for a long time the key SET until the symbol 🤨 starts flashing.
  2. press the key 🖼 to access the time and date modification. At this point, during the modification of any parameter (seconds, minutes, hour, year, month or day) press for a

The Chronos has got two types of regulation:

- ON/OFF regulation

During ON/OFF regulation the chronothermostat measures once a minute the environment temperature and it carries out the regulation on the basis of the following logic:

heating mode cooling mode
graph LR A["relay ON"] --> B["SET-DIFF SET"] C["relay OFF"] --> B D["Temperature increasing"] --> E["Relay ON"] F["Temperature increasing"] --> G["Relay OFF"] H["Relay ON"] --> I["SET+DIFF SET"] J["Relay OFF"] --> I K["Temperature increasing"] --> L["Relay ON"] M["Temperature increasing"] --> N["Rel…

where SET represents the setpoint and DIFF the hysteresis (useful to avoid continuous switches on/switches off dangerous for the system in proximity to the reaching of the setpoint).

• Proportional regulation (only in heating)

In heating mode, the on/off regulation is available and also the proportional regulation which in some systems allows a more precise regulation to obtain a constant temperature.

This regulation requires to specify two parameters:

  • the band, which represents the temperature values with whom to perform the proportional regulation. The band is centered on the setpoint and it can have values between 0.5 °C and 5 °C; outside these values the heating will be always on (if setpoint-band > environment temperature) or always off (if setpoint + band < environment temperature).
  • The regulation period which represents the duration of the regulation cycle (activation time + deactivation time of heating) and it can have values of 10, 20 or 30 minutes.

During the operating, at the beginning of the regulation period, the instrument measures the environment temperature and it compares it with the programmed setpoint; on the basis of this difference the activation time is calculated (and

consequently the deactivation time). The more the measured temperature is next to the setpoint value – band, the more the activation time will be predominant in comparison with the deactivation time; on the contrary, the more the measured temperature is next to the setpoint value + band, the more the deactivation time will be predominant in comparison with the activation time).

Once regulation period is passed, the instrument compares again the environment temperature with the setpoint and it updates the activation and deactivation times for the new period.

The result of the proportional regulation is subordinated to the correct selection of the parameters.

Select the value of the regulation type as follows:

  • 10' for low thermal inertia systems (fan-coil)
  • 20' for medium thermal inertia systems (aluminium radiators)
  • 30' for medium thermal inertia systems (aluminium radiators)

Select the regulation band value as follows:

  • broad band (5 °C) for systems with high thermal gradient
  • narrow band (0.5 °C) for systems with low thermal gradient

Attention: in default status the instrument is configured to operate in on/off with hysteresis set at 0.3 °C. This configuration is suitable for the most part of the situations and for this reason it's advisable to modify it only in particular situations.

To modify the regulation type, hysteresis values (on/off regulation), band and period (proportional regulation) see “Regulation parameters” at page 18).

- tP regulation

Note. This regulation should be used only if you are controlling a valve for ThermoPro RF radiators.

This type of regulation allows you to make the ThermoPro RF valve work “by the opening modulation”. In this way, the valve opens in proportional mode according to the difference between the set temperature (setpoint) and the detected temperature. Selecting one of the other regulation types, the valve will not work in proportional mode, but it will be completely open or completely closed according to the difference between the set temperature and the detected temperature.

• Emergency regulation (for heating mode only)

The instrument performs a regulation of emergency if an error occurs during the reading of the probe or in case of time loss.

In case of probe error, if the antifreeze function is not deactivated, the instrument activates the load for 10 minutes every 4 hours. The display shows the writing Err on field (7).

In case of time loss (because of depleted batteries or blackout of a duration higher than the charge reserve) the instrument restarts from the off mode, adjusting on the basis of the antifreeze temperature, if it hasn't been deactivated before. Reset date/ time to go back to the normal operation (programs modifications and settings remain memorized).

TIMINGS: WHAT THEY ARE

Timings allow to maintain the current operation (automatic, manual, off) for a certain period (times or days) and once passed the chronothermostat changes the operating mode, as explained below.

The timed operations are the following:

Timed automatic

If in automatic status you set a timing, such off status will be maintained until the end of the timing; operation will then switched to off mode.

DAY 4 18:00 19.8 SET ▼ ▲ ▼ → DAY 2 18:00 19.8 SET ▼ ▲ ▼

Timed manual

If in manual status you set a timing, such off status will be maintained until the end of the timing; operation will then switched to automatic mode.

DAY 1 2:00 23.0 SET ▼ ▲ → DAY 4 18:00 19.8 SET ▼ ▲

Timed off

If in off status you set a timing, such off status will be maintained until the end of the timing; operation will then switched to the one active before the deactivation (automatic or manual).

DAY 1 2:00 23.0 SET ▼ ▲ → DAY 4 18:00 19.8 SET ▼ ▲

If you set a timing, the display shows the symbol

Vemer Set Chronos RF - Timed off - 2

Attention: the timing is calculated in minutes and for this reason if for example you set a timing of 3 days at 12:15 on Tuesday it will expire at 12:15 on Friday.

Attention: the timings can end before their programmed expiration if one of these actions occur:

  • time/ date modification (modification of the summer time change included)
  • manual modification of the operating mode
  • switching of digital input (only for battery models)
  • change of the operating logic from winter to summer (or viceversa)

To set a timing, see chapter "Timing setting" at page 15.

INSTRUMENT RESET

If you want to erase all performed settings and to recharge the default values, proceed as follows:

  1. to disconnect the time thermostat from the wall-mounted base and reconnect it
  2. during the flashing of the keys press the key SET until the display shows the writing dEF.

Default values are indicated on page 32 of this manual.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The Chronos RF signals the status of depleted batteries switching on the symbol (field (10)) and making the display to flash.

Vemer Set Chronos RF - BATTERY REPLACEMENT - 1

In this status the regulation is always guaranteed, but it's advisable to replace the batteries as soon as possible! (*)

If the charge level of batteries further decreases, the chronothermostat enters into less consumption mode, it switches off the display and it doesn't perform any regulation.

(*) Remove the depleted batteries and replace them with the new ones in a maximum time of one minute (charge reserve) to avoid to lose the settings of date and time (the performed programmings on the contrary remain memorized even if this limit is surpassed).

Attention: after batteries replacement, the display will switch on within 15 seconds at max.

⚠ Dispose of the used batteries observing the laws in force in relation to the disposal of hazardous waste.
