Measuring the room temperature

Main features

Installation

living eco®, Electronic Radiator Thermostat

living eco® is measuring the temperature with two built-in sensors - one behind the display and one near the valve.

Based on both readings the room temperature is calculated for an area approx. 20 cm in front of the display. This allows living eco® to control the actual room temperature very accurately.

Be aware that sources of cold or heat, e.g. fireplace, direct sun or draft, might affect the function of living eco®.

20 cm

Note! The displayed temperature is always the set temperature, not the actual room temperature.

Open-window function

living eco® features an Open-window function, which closes the valve if the room temperature is falling dramatically, thus reducing the heat loss.

The heat is turned off for up to 30 minutes, before

living eco® returns to its original settings.

When Open-window has been activated, the function is quarantined for 45 minutes.

Adjusting to the valve

During the first night of operation living eco® will shut off the radiator heat and then open again to detect the exact opening point of the valve.

This will allow living eco® to control the heat as efficiently as possible. If necessary, the procedure is repeated once a night for up to a week.

You might experience the valve being warm during the adjustment procedure, regardless of the room temperature.

Child lock

Activating the child lock feature will protect the settings from tampering.

Intelligent Control (Forecast)

During the first week of operation living eco® learns when it is necessary to start heating the room in order to reach the correct temperature at the correct time.

The intelligent control will continuously adjust the heating time compared to seasonal temperature changes.

Automatic valve exercising

To keep the radiator valve functional and at its best, living eco® automatically exercises the valve every Thursday at approx. 11:00 hrs by opening it fully and then return to normal setting.

Daylight saving time

As default living eco® will automatically shift between daylight saving time and normal time.

If necessary, the daylight saving time function can be disabled.

M must be flashing on the display before installation.

1. Start by mounting the appropriate adapter.

RA K

2. Tighten RA adapter using the 2 mm Allen key.

Hand-tighten K adapter (max. 5 Nm).

3. Screw the thermostat onto the adapter and tighten by hand (max. 5 Nm).

4. Activate Installation Mode to fix living eco® correctly onto the valve:

Press for 3 seconds to select the Function Menu, then use to select M.

When M flashes, press .
