Anticipated Start
This mode enables the room to reach the selected tempera-
ture at the programmed hour by starting or stopping the heat-
ing before this time. In fact, the thermostat estimates the delay
required to reach the set point of the next period at the pro-
grammed hour. This delay is obtained by the observation of the
temperature variations in the room and the results obtained dur-
ing the preceding anticipated starts. Therefore, results should be
increasingly precise day after day. From this mode, the thermo-
stat displays at any time the set point (SET) of the current period.
The “anticipated start” icon will blink when the anticipated start
of the next period begins.
For example, if the requested temperature between 8h00am
and 10h00pm is 22°C and between 10h00 pm and 8h00am is
18°C, the set point (SET) will indicate 18°C until 7h59am and will
switch to 22°C at 8h00am. Thus, you will not see the progres-
sion carried out by the anticipated start, only the desired result.
To activate or deactivate the anticipated start, the thermostat
must be in Auto or Pre Prog mode. Then, you must press down
the MODE button for at least 5 seconds. The anticipated start
icon ( ) is displayed or hidden to indicate the activation or the
deactivation of the mode. This modification will apply to the Auto
as well as the Pre Prog mode. If you modify the temperature set
point manually when these modes are activated, the anticipated
start of the next period will be cancelled.
N.B.
Please note that the anticipated start is initially activated when
you enter the Automatic or Preprogrammed mode. Thus, you
must deactivate it following the above procedure if needed.
View of the Preprogramming
The view of the selected preprogramming is made in a way simi-
lar to the Auto mode programming. However, it is impossible to
modify the preprogramming.
