To operate, the ITCS system automatically performs several time and temperature measure-
ments. The objective is to estimate a heating rate for the system. With this value, the system can
calculate the heating activation time in advance.
When the thermostat is switched on for the first time, a default time for reaching the set tempe-
rature is applied. This value will be adjusted by new measurements each time the programme is
changed to compensate for changes in the outdoor temperature. Afterwards, the thermostat can
be programmed without adjustment because it will do so automatically.
When the system performs an adaptive start, a hand logo is displayed on the screen.
Open window detection
This function can be activated with the "window setting" in the menu
setting.
This function is performed by measuring and recording the tempera-
ture development over the last 20 minutes:
• First step - Window open activated: the thermostat switches to
the "Window open"
when the temperature has dropped
• by more than 1.5°C in the last 20 minutes, when the unit was switched on and is heating.
• •
Second step: for 20 minutes, if the temperature exceeds 0.3°C, the window opening
status is cancelled and the remote control automatically returns to the current mode setting
(status (and the temperature value flashes)
