5. Bedryfsinstruksies

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

5.1 Selecting Operating Mode (Heating or Cooling)

  • Vind die Heating/Cooling Mode Switch on the front panel (typically marked with flame and snowflake icons).
  • Skuif die skakelaar na die vlam ikoon vir Verhittingsmodus. 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).
  • Skuif die skakelaar na die sneeuvlokikoon vir Verkoelingsmodus. 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: Gebruik die 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: Gebruik die 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
