Choosing the right location for AURATON Fenix

The proper operation of the AURATON Fenix ​​is ​​significantly affected by its location. Siting it in a location lacking air circulation or exposed to direct sunlight may result in improper temperature control. The AURATON Fenix ​​should be installed on an interior wall (partition wall), in an environment with free air circulation. Avoid proximity to heat-emitting devices (television, radiator, refrigerator) or locations exposed to direct sunlight. Proper operation may be impaired by proximity to doors, which expose the AURATON Fenix ​​to potential vibrations.

Connecting the cables to AURATON Fenix

The wiring terminals are located on the rear panel of the AURATON Fenix. This is a typical single-pole, two-state relay. In most cases, the NC terminal is not used.

Battery replacement

X

If the low battery symbol ( ) appears on the display,X it means the battery voltage has dropped to the minimum allowable level. The batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.

NOTE:
To maintain the programmed parameters, the battery replacement operation time should not exceed 30 seconds.
NOTE:
We recommend alkaline batteries for powering AURATON controllers. Rechargeable batteries should not be used due to their low rated voltage.

Mounting the AURATON Fenix ​​– a weekly, wired temperature controller

To attach AURATON Fenix ​​to the wall:

  1. Two 6 mm diameter holes should be drilled in the wall (mark the hole spacing using the template included in the instructions).
  2. Insert the expansion bolts (included).
  3. Tighten the left screw with 3 mm of clearance.
  4. Place the AURATON Fenix ​​over the screw head and slide it to the right (note the keyhole-like opening on the rear cover of the AURATON Fenix.
  1. Screw in the right screw so that it holds the installed AURATON Fenix ​​securely.
NOTE:
If the wall is wooden, there is no need to use wall plugs. Drill 2.7mm holes instead of 6mm and drive the screws directly into the wood.

Introduction to programming

Timeline

The timeline on the LCD display is divided into 24 sections, each representing one hour of the day.
Black rectangles above the timeline indicate that the program has set the daytime temperature for that time; their absence indicates that the program has set the nighttime temperature.

Example:

The figure above shows that from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. AURATON Fenix ​​will control the heating device to maintain the room at day temperature ( S ). From 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. AURATON Fenix ​​will switch to night temperature ( T ).

Factory programs

To ensure the AURATON Fenix ​​knows when to switch to the day and night temperatures, you need to set a specific program for each day of the week. To do this, you can use one of three preset programs (from 0 to 2):

Program No. 0 – Anti-freeze. U
This factory program cannot be modified. Designed for setting the anti-freeze temperature all day long.

Program No. 1 – Weekly
. Non-modifiable factory program. Sets the daily temperature from 5:00 to 8:00 and from 15:00 to 23:00.

Program No. 2 – Weekend
. This factory program cannot be modified. It sets the daily temperature from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Program No. 3, 4,….,9 – User
Programs No. 3 through No. 9 are user programs. They can be freely modified and adapted to your requirements.
