5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare

The Autopilot APCET2 offers flexible temperature control with day and night settings and heating/cooling modes.

5.1 Selecting Operating Mode (Heating or Cooling)

• Localizați Heating/Cooling Mode Switch on the front panel (typically marked with flame and snowflake icons).
• Glisați comutatorul spre icoana flacara pentru Modul de încălzire. In this mode, the connected device will turn ON when the temperature drops below the set point and turn OFF when it rises above the set point (considering the +/- 3°F differential).
• Glisați comutatorul spre pictograma fulg de nea pentru Modul de răcire. In this mode, the connected device will turn ON when the temperature rises above the set point and turn OFF when it drops below the set point (considering the +/- 3°F differential).

5.2 Setting Day and Night Temperatures

The thermostat allows for distinct day and night temperature settings.

1. Day Temperature Setting: Utilizați upper knob (associated with the sun icon) to set your desired daytime temperature. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the temperature and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The range is 50°F–100°F (10°C–38°C).
2. Night Temperature Setting: Utilizați lower knob (associated with the moon icon) to set your desired nighttime temperature. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the temperature and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The range is 50°F–100°F (10°C–38°C).

5.3 Day/Night Detection Mode

The thermostat can automatically switch between day and night settings using its built-in photocell.

• Localizați Day/Night Mode Switch (typically marked with a 24h icon and sun/moon icons).
• Glisați comutatorul spre sun/moon icon pentru Detectare automată zi/noapte. The built-in photocell will detect ambient light levels and automatically switch between your set day and night temperatures.
• Glisați comutatorul spre 24h icon pentru 24-Hour Operation. In this mode, the thermostat will continuously use the Day Temperature Setting, regardless of light conditions.

5.4 Memory-Lock Feature

The Memory-lock feature prevents accidental changes to your set points.

• La blocare the settings, slide the small switch next to the padlock icon to the poziție blocată. This will prevent the temperature knobs from being accidentally adjusted.
• La debloca the settings, slide the switch to the poziție deblocată.
