Choosing the right location for AURATON Pavo R

The correct operation of AURATON Pavo R is largely influenced by its location. Using the device in a place with no air circulation or a place with direct sunlight may result in incorrect temperature control. AURATON Pavo R should be installed on the internal wall of a building (a partition wall), in an environment with free air circulation. You should avoid proximity to heat-emitting devices (TV, heaters, refrigerators) or locations exposed to direct sunlight. The vicinity of doors and exposing AURATON Pavo R to possible vibrations may also cause problems with proper operation of the device.

Battery replacement

X

If the low battery symbol (X) appears on the display, it means that the battery level has fallen to the minimum allowable level. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT:
In order to maintain any programmed parameters, the battery replacement operation should not exceed 30 seconds.

NOTE:
We recommend using alkaline batteries to power AURATON thermostats. Do not use “rechargeable batteries” because their rated voltage is too low.

Mounting AURATON Pavo R – the weekly, wired thermostat

In order to mount AURATON Pavo R on the wall:

  1. Drill two holes 6 mm in diameter in the wall (mark the hole spacing using the template attached to the manual).
  2. Insert the wall plugs (included).
  3. Tighten the left screw with a 3 mm clearance.
  4. Place AURATON Pavo R through the screw head and slide to the right (note the keyhole-like opening on the rear cover of AURATON Pavo R).

  1. Tighten up the right screw so that it holds AURATON Pavo R mounted securely.

NOTE:

In the case of a wooden wall, there is no need to use wall plugs. It is enough to drill holes with a diameter of 2.7 mm (instead of 6 mm) and screw the screws directly into the wood.

Turning AURATON Pavo R on for the first time

After inserting the batteries correctly into the battery compartment, the LCD screen will display all the segments for a second (display test) and then the software version number.

After a while, AURATON Pavo R will automatically go to the hour setting. An item flashing on the screen indicates that it is currently in editing mode. Use the bc buttons to set the desired hour and confirm the setting with the j button.

AURATON Pavo R will go to the minute setting. Use the bc buttons again to set the desired minute value and confirm the setting by pressing the j button.

A flashing day of the week symbol appears in the upper left corner. Use the bc buttons to set the desired day and confirm the selection with the j button. AURATON Pavo R will enter its normal operating mode.

1 – Monday
2 – Tuesday
3 – Wednseday
4 – Thursday
5 – Friday		 6 – Saturday
7 – Sunday

NOTE:
If no button is pressed for 60 seconds in the initial setting mode, the thermostat will automatically assume the default time of 12:00 and Monday (1) as the day of the week.

NOTE:
When programming any other functions, not pressing any button for 10 seconds is equivalent to using the j button.

If you want to discontinue the current program operation and extend maintaining the day temperature for any reason, you can do it manually.

  1. Press the p button, the w and V segments will start flashing. The temperature field will enter the setting mode, with the previously programmed temperature value set as default. Use the bc buttons to set the desired value and confirm the selection with the j button.
  2. To disable the manual control mode, press the p button.

Holiday mode


Z

To suspend the operation of programs for a longer period, use the holiday mode.When this option is active AURATON Pavo R only maintains the ‘holiday temperatur’(see chapter: ‘Temperature programming’).
The maximum duration of the holiday mode is 6 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes.

To enable the holiday mode:

  1. Press and hold the p button for 3 seconds, which will cause the w and V segments to start flashing and the time field to appear.

  2. Use the bc buttons to set the end time of the holiday mode.

  1. By pressing the

    button, set the end day of the holiday mode.
    The x segment will start flashing on the screen. Use the bc buttons to set the end day of the holiday mode.

  2. Confirm the above settings with the j button.


During the holiday mode, the Z symbol will be displayed on the screen. You can always deactivate the holiday mode sooner by pressing the p button.

Anti-freeze mode


U

AURATON Pavo R is equipped with an anti-freeze temperature setting. It can be set in the range of 4 to 10°C (the factory setting is 7°C).
We use the anti-freeze mode during a prolonged period of absence, to prevent the freezing of water in the heating system.

  1. To activate the anti-freeze mode, simply press the q, button and the display will show the symbol U button.
  2. To deactivate the anti-freeze mode, press the q or p button.

Turning off the receiver temporarily

Pressing and holding q for 5 seconds turns off the relay in the AURATON Fornax receiver and for 10 seconds the display flashes the s segment and all the set parameters of the current program: the day of week, the temperature and the end time of the program operation.
Pressing the j key again returns AURATON Pavo Rto its normal operating mode.

Heating device operating time meter

Pressing and holding the j button for 3 seconds activates the t function that counts the operating time of the heating device during the last 24 hours. Pressing the j button again will bring up the segment representing the u function, counting the total number of the heating device operating days.

NOTE:
The time may be different from the actual operating time of the heating device, e.g. due to the existence of internal thermostats installed in heating devices.


Pressing the j button returns AURATON Pavo R to its normal operating mode.

NOTE:
The total number of operating days of the heating device can be reset to zero in the u mode after pressing and holding j for 5 seconds.

NOTE:

The ‘RESET’ function of AURATON Pavo R resets both operating time meters to zero.

Pairing


the weekly, wireless thermostat (transmitter) AURATON Pavo R with the wireless heating device controller (receiver) AURATON Fornax

After connecting to the mains, switch the receiver on by briefly pressing the power button (F). When the device is switched on, the green power diode lights up and there is an audible single sound signal. To switch off the AURATON Fornax e.g. outside the heating season, hold down the power button for 3 seconds until there is an audible double sound signal, and the green power diode switches off, which means that the heating device has also been switched off.

NOTE:
The wireless AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) sold together with the AURATON Fornax wireless heating or air-conditioning device controller (receiver) in the AURATON Tucana SET is already paired. Devices purchased separately require “pairing”.

  1. To initiate the pairing of AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) with AURATON Fornax, press the right pairing button (D) –– a single sound signal on the AURATON Fornax receiver, and hold it for at least 3 seconds, until the LED diode starts blinking green (double sound signal), then release the button.
    The AURATON Fornax receiver will wait 120 seconds for pairing. After this time elapses, it will automatically return to normal operation.
  2. Press the h pbutton on AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) for 5 seconds until the broadcast symbol (=) lights up on the display. Release the button – AURATON Pavo R transmits the pairing signal for 5 seconds.
  3. Successful completion of pairing is signalled when the green LED diode on the AURATON Fornax receiver is no longer blinking, a single sound signal is heard, and the receiver returns to normal operation.

If there is a pairing error, please repeat steps 1 and 2. In case of further errors, unpair the device by RESETTING the AURATON Fornax receiver, see “RESET – Unpairing a device paired with AURATON Fornax – wireless heating or air-conditioning device controller (receiver)” and trying to pair the devices again.

NOTE:
The Auraton Fornax receiver can be paired with only one AURATON Pavo R.

Signalling the working status and data package reception

Each reception of radio transmission from a paired device is signalled by the AURATON Fornax receiver by a temporary alternating colour change of the LED diodes. When the relay is turned on, the LED diode is red and when the relay is turned off, the LED diode is green.

NOTE:
Pressing a button is signalled by a short sound signal.

Unpairing the weekly, wireless thermostat AURATON Pavo R from AURATON Fornax

  1. The unpairing of AURATON Pavo R (the transmitter) from the AURATON Fornax receiver is initiated by pressing the left unpairing button (E) on the receiver and holding it for at least 3 seconds until the LED starts blinking red, then release the button. The sound signalling works in the same way as during pairing, i.e. pressing the button is signalled by a short sound followed by a double short sound signal after 3 seconds.
    The AURATON Fornax receiver will wait for unpairing from the device for 120 seconds. After this period, it will automatically return to its normal operation.
  2. Press and hold the h button on the AURATON Pavo R device (transmitter) for 5 seconds until the broadcast symbol (=) appears on the display. Release the button.
  3. Successful completion of unpairing is signalled when the red LED diode on the AURATON Fornax receiver is no longer blinking, a single sound signal is heard, and the receiver returns to normal operation.

If there is an unpairing error, please repeat steps 1 and 2. In case of further errors, unpair the paired device, see “RESET – Unpairing a device paired with AURATON Fornax – wireless heating or air-conditioning device controller (receiver)”.

RESET – Unpairing a device paired with AURATON Fornax – wireless heating device (receiver)

To unpair a paired device (e.g. AURATON Pavo R) from AURATON Fornax, simultaneously press and hold the two pairing and unpairing buttons (D and E) pfor at least 5 seconds until the LED diode signalling changes to alternately blinking green and red. Then release both buttons. Sound signalling: pressing the button a short signal – after 5 seconds, a double short signal.
Successful completion of unpairing is signalled after about 2 seconds with the signalling changed to green and then its short fading out.

NOTE:
If you disconnect the AURATON Fornax receiver from the power supply after performing the RESET function and then reconnect it to the power supply, the receiver will automatically enter the ‘pairing’ mode for 120 seconds. A newly purchased AURATON Fornax receiver (i.e. one not purchased together with AURATON Pavo R), with no factory-paired devices, will behave in the same way.

RESET AURATON Pavo R

Pressing the RESET (.) RESET button clears the time and day and restarts AURATON Pavo R

The RESET function of AURATON Pavo R

The MASTER RESET function restores factory settings. It is activated by pressing the j and RESET (.) buttons simultaneously.

NOTE:

All user programs will be deleted!

Configuration settings

Configuration settings are set one after another:

changing
the backlight colour
Changes
in hysteresis
Offset
change
Clock
calibration

To enter the edit mode of the configuration settings, hold the b and cbuttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until the display backlight starts flashing.

Changing the backlight colour



A flashing backlight means that the bc buttons can be used to change the backlight colour. Confirm the selection with the j button. AURATON Pavo R will go to the next parameter changing mode.


Changes in hysteresis

Hysteresis is supposed to prevent too frequent activation of the actuator due to small temperature fluctuations.
For example, in the case of HI 2 hysteresis, when the temperature is set to 20 °C, the boiler will be switched on at 19.8 °C, and switched off at 20.2 °C. In the case of HI 4 hysteresis, when the temperature is set to 20 °C, the boiler will be switched on at 19.6 °C, and switched off at 20.4 °C.

The hysteresis change mode is signaled by a flashing HI. Use the bc buttons to set the desired hysteresis.
HI 2 – ±0.2 °C (preset),
HI 4 – ±0.4 °C,
HI P – PWM operating mode (see chapter “PWM operating mode”).

Confirm your choice by pressing the j AURATON Pavo R will proceed to change the next parameter.

Offset change

Offset allows you to calibrate temperature indications with a tolerance of ± 3°C. AURATON Pavo R may for example show that the temperature in the room is 23°C, while a regular room thermometer next to it may show 24°C. Changing the offset by +1 degree, will make AURATON Pavo show the same temperature as the room thermometer.

The offset changing mode is signalled by the flashing text OFFS. Use the bc buttons to set the desired value between -3.0 and 3.0 (the factory setting is 0.0). Confirm the selection with the j button. AURATON Pavo R will return to its normal operating mode.

IMPORTANT:

If no button is pressed for 10 seconds while changing the configuration settings, AURATON Pavo R will return to the normal operating mode.
IMPORTANT:

Pressing any function button for the first time always turns on the backlight, and then the function of a specific button.

Clock calibration

This function is used to correct the clock indications in case of any deviations. If the clock is working incorrectly within a week, the extent of incorrect clock indications should be determined. This value should be entered in AURATON Pavo R in the form of seconds.

Example 1:
After a week of operation, AURATON Pavo R shows time accelerated by 1 minute and 20 seconds (60 + 20 = 80). In this case you should slow down the clock by setting C -80.

Example 2:
After a week of operation, the clock in AURATON Pavo R is 2 minutes slow (2 x 60 = 120). In this case you should speed up the clock by setting C 120.

IMPORTANT:

The number of seconds should be determined after one week of operation of AURATON Pavo R for the clock calibration function to work correctly (7 days = the number of seconds to be added or subtracted, maximum 294 seconds).
IMPORTANT:

If no button is pressed for 10 seconds while changing the configuration settings, AURATON Pavo R will return to the normal operating mode.

PWM operating mode


 (Pulse-Width Modulation)

By changing the hysteresis settings (chapter “Configuration settings”), you can turn on the PWM operating mode. In this mode, AURATON Pavo R cyclically turns on the heating device in order to minimize temperature fluctuations. AURATON Pavo R checks temperature rise times and temperature drop times.

Knowing these values makes AURATON Pavo R turn on and off the heating device in appropriate cycles to maintain the temperature to the set value as close as possible.

  1. Temperature
  2. Time
  3. Set temperature
  4. Room temperature

IMPORTANT:

AURATON Pavo R can turn on the heating device despite the fact that the temperature in the room is higher than the set temperature in the PWM mode. This is caused by the PWM algorithm aiming at maintaining the set temperature and anticipating the behavior of the thermal system.

Special cases

  • When 3 consecutive transmissions are lost (after 15 minutes), AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) will signal a malfunction on the AURATON Fornax receiver (the LED diode will alternate blinking red and green). Until the problem is resolved, the receiver will enter the stored on/off cycle from the last 24 hours.
  • When the signal from AURATON Pavo R returns, the error is cleared and the AURATON Fornax receiver returns to normal operation.

Additional remarks

  • AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) must be installed at least 1 metre away from the receiver (too strong a signal from the transmitter may cause interference).
  • At least 30 seconds must elapse between switching the relay off and on again.
  • Data from AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) is transmitted to the AURATON Fornax receiver every time the ambient temperature changes by 0.2°C. If the temperature does not change, AURATON Pavo R transmits control data every 5 minutes (this is signalled by a blinking orange diode on the receiver).

  2. Electric heating device (MAX 230 V AC, 16 A)

Cleaning and maintenance

  • The outside part the device should be cleaned with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents (such as benzene, thinner or alcohol).
  • Do not touch the device when your hands are wet. It may cause electric shock or serious damage to the device.
  • Do not expose the device to excessive smoke or dust.
  • Do not touch the screen with a sharp object.
