Choosing the right location for AURATON Pavo R

The proper operation of the AURATON Pavo R 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 Pavo R should be installed on an interior wall (partition wall), in an environment with free air circulation. Avoid proximity to heat-emitting devices (TV, radiator, refrigerator) or locations exposed to direct sunlight. Proper operation may be impaired by proximity to doors, which expose the AURATON Pavo R to potential vibration.

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.

Comments:

1. Programs with the same numbers but assigned to different days may have completely different settings. For example, program 1 on Saturday might start at 8:00 a.m., while program 1 on Sunday might start at 10:00 a.m.
2. Days from1 to5 (Monday to Friday) have the same programs.
3. For the same day of the week, the next edited program should start at least one minute later than the previous one. Otherwise, the AURATON Pavo R will renumber the programs while maintaining the chronological order of temperature settings.
4. For the selected day of the week, the period covered by temperature programming cannot exceed 24 hours - the last program can start no later than one minute before the first one.
5. If you leave all programs inactive, AURATON Pavo R remains turned off.

Manual, holiday and anti-freeze temperature programming

AURATON Pavo R allows you to programmatically set 3 types of temperature:

• Manual temperature ( V ) – in the range from 5 to 30°C
• Holiday temperature ( Z ) – in the range from 5 to 30°C
• Anti-freeze temperature ( U ) – in the range from 4 to 10°C

To set one of the above temperatures:

Evaporation

AURATON Pavo R weekly wireless temperature controller (transmitter) with AURATON Fornax – wireless heating device controller (receiver)

After connecting to the mains, turn on the receiver by briefly pressing the power button ( F ). When the device is turned on, the green power LED will illuminate and a single beep will sound. To turn off the AURATON Fornax, e.g., outside the heating season, hold the power button for 3 seconds until you hear a double beep and the green power LED turns off, thus turning off the heating device.

1. Pairing the AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) with the AURATON Fornax is initiated by pressing the right pairing button ( D ) – a single beep on the AURATON Fornax receiver – and holding it for at least 3 seconds until the LED starts flashing green (double beep), then releasing the button.
   The AURATON Fornax receiver waits 120 seconds for pairing. After this time, it will automatically return to normal operation.
2. On the AURATON Pavo R (transmitter), press the buttonh for 5 seconds until the transmitting symbol (= ) lights up on the display. Release the button – the AURATON Pavo R will transmit a pairing signal for 5 seconds.
3. Successful completion of pairing is indicated by the LED on the AURATON Fornax receiver stopping flashing green, by a single sound signal and by the receiver switching to normal operation.

If an error occurs during pairing, repeat steps 1 and 2. In case of subsequent errors, unpair the device by RESETting the AURATON Fornax receiver, see "RESET - Unpairing the device from the AURATON Fornax - wireless heating device controller (receiver)" and try pairing the devices again.

Signaling of operation and receipt of data packets

Each time a radio transmission is received from a paired device, the AURATON Fornax receiver signals this with a momentary alternating color change of the LEDs. When the relay is turned on, the LED is red; when the relay is turned off, the LED is green.

Writing off AURATON Pavo R – a weekly, wireless temperature controller from AURATON Fornax

1. Unpairing the AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) from the AURATON Fornax receiver is initiated by pressing the left unpairing button ( E ) on the receiver for at least 3 seconds, until the LED flashes red, then releasing the button. The sound signal works in the same way as pairing, i.e., pressing the button is signaled by a short beep, followed by a double short beep after 3 seconds.
   The AURATON Fornax receiver waits 120 seconds for the device to be paired. After this time, it will automatically return to normal operation.
2. On the AURATON Pavo R (transmitter), press the buttonh for 5 seconds until the transmitting symbol ( = ) lights up on the display. Release the button.
3. Successful completion of the write-back is indicated by the LED on the AURATON Fornax receiver stopping flashing red, a single sound signal and the receiver switching to normal operation.

If an error occurs during unsubscribing, repeat steps 1 and 2. In case of subsequent errors, unsubscribe the paired device, see "RESET – Unsubscribing the device paired to the AURATON Fornax heating device controller (receiver)" .

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

To unpair a paired device (e.g., AURATON Pavo R) from AURATON Fornax, simultaneously press and hold both the pairing and unpairing buttons ( D and E ) for at least 5 seconds until the LED indicator changes to alternating green and red flashing. Then release both buttons. Audible signal: pressing the button – a short beep – after 5 seconds – a double short beep.
Successful unpairing of the device is signaled after approximately 2 seconds by the indicator changing to green and then briefly fading out.

RESET AURATON Pavo R

Pressing the RESET (. ) button will clear the time and day and restart the AURATON Pavo R.

MASTER RESET AURATON Pavo R

MASTER RESET restores factory settings. This is performed by pressing the j and RESET ( ) .

Configuration settings

Configuration settings are made sequentially:

To enter the configuration settings change mode, hold down theb andc for 5 seconds until the display backlight starts flashing.

Changing the backlight color

Hysteresis change

The hysteresis change mode is indicated by the flashing HI . Use the buttonsbc to set the desired hysteresis.
HI 2 – ±0.2 °C (factory setting),
HI 4 – ±0.4 °C,
HI P – PWM operating mode (section “PWM operating mode”).

Confirm the selection by pressing the j . AURATON Pavo R will move on to changing the next parameter.

Offset change

Offset allows you to calibrate temperature readings with a tolerance of ±3°C. For example, the AURATON Pavo R indicates that the room temperature is 23°C, while a standard room thermometer hanging next to it reads 24°C. By changing the offset by +1 degree, the AURATON Pavo R will display the same temperature as the room thermometer.

Clock calibration

This function is used to correct the clock readings if they deviate. If you notice the clock is not working properly within a week, determine the error rate. This value should be entered in the AURATON Pavo R in seconds. Confirm your selection by pressing the OK button. The AURATON Pavo R returns to normal operation.

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

Example 2:
After a week of operation, the AURATON Pavo R shows the time slowed down by 2 minutes (2 x 60 = 120). In this case, advance the clock by setting C 120.

PWM operating mode

 (Pulse-Width Modulation)

By changing the hysteresis settings (see the "Configuration Settings" section), you can enable PWM operation. In this mode, the AURATON Pavo R periodically switches on the heating device to minimize temperature fluctuations. The AURATON Pavo R checks the temperature rise and fall times.

Knowing these values, AURATON Pavo R turns the heating device on and off in cycles to keep the temperature as close to the set point as possible.

Special situations

• If we lose three consecutive transmissions (after 15 minutes) from the AURATON Pavo R (transmitter), a failure will be signaled on the AURATON Fornax receiver (the LED will continuously flash alternately red and green). Until the problem is resolved, the receiver will revert to the memorized 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 switches to normal operation.

Unique features of AURATON Fornax

• The relay's switching is synchronized with the 230V mains supply voltage so that the relay's armature contacts always close and open at the zero crossing of the mains voltage. This prevents arcing and significantly increases the relay's durability.
• The AURATON Fornax receiver is equipped with a unique on/off cycle analysis algorithm. The entire heating cycle from the last 24 hours is saved in the receiver's memory. In the event of a loss of communication with the AURATON Pavo R (transmitter), the AURATON Fornax receiver will automatically perform the memorized on/off cycle from the last 24 hours. This allows time to restore transmission (eliminate interference) or repair the AURATON Pavo R without significantly compromising thermal comfort in the controlled facility.
• Backlit LCD display with 3 color selection.
• AURATON Pavo R transmitter operating time counter.
• Cooperation with optional devices (AURATON T-2 thermometer, AURATON H-1 window handle).

Additional information and notes

• AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) must be installed at least 1 meter from the receiver (too strong a signal from the transmitter may cause interference).
• Data is transmitted from the AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) to the AURATON Fornax receiver whenever the ambient temperature changes by 0.2°C. If the temperature does not change, the AURATON Pavo R transmits control data every 5 minutes (this is indicated by momentary alternating flashing of the LEDs).
• In the event of a power outage, the AURATON Fornax receiver will turn off. When power is restored, the heating device will automatically turn on, and the AURATON Fornax receiver will wait for a signal from the paired AURATON Pavo R (transmitter) for a maximum of 5 minutes after power is restored. Once the signal is received, the AURATON Fornax receiver will resume normal operation.
• Placing the AURATON Fornax receiver in a metal housing (e.g. mounting box, metal furnace housing) will interfere with the operation of the AURATON Pavo R.
