The COMPUTHERM E280FC Wi-Fi room thermostat has been specifically designed to control fan-coil heating and cooling as well as ventilation systems. The thermostat connects your smart phone or tablet to the device to be controlled remotely. With the help of E280FC you can set the temperature of your home hour by hour, and you can set and control it via the Internet.
Turning  on  and  off  the  controlled  appliance  allows  you  to  maintain  constant  comfortable temperature without suffering any unnecessary energy losses. This product is especially useful when you do not use your flat or house according to a predefined schedule, you leave your home for an uncertain period of time during the heating season or you intend to use your holiday home during the heating season as well.
The appliance can be easily controlled via the Internet or by using a touch screen interface, and its operating conditions can be inspected continuously. It can be easily connected to any 230 V fan-coil device with three fan speeds, as well as valve adjusters that open and close the valves. The thermostats have three outputs for fan control and two outputs for valve control. With their help, a heating system can be divided into zones without a separate zone controller.

With E280FC you can set your desired temperature for every hour of the day and night. This way the temperature in your home always meets your requirement. It provides comfort without consuming energy unnecessarily. It always consumes as much energy as needed and you can save up to 30 percent of your heating costs. In addition, remote control can also save energy for you because this way you can remotely turn off the device to be controlled when you are away then turn it on later.

COMPUTHERM E280FC type switching-mode room thermostat is able to control vast majority of the boilers and air-conditioning equipment available on the Hungarian market. It can be easily connected to any gas boiler having a two-wire thermostat connection point and to any air conditioning apparatus or electrical apparatus, regardless of whether they have a 24 V or 230 V control circuit.

The E280FC thermostat can also be used to control an air-conditioner.

For products purchased before October 2020: For controlling a cooling system the controlled cooling device should be connected in a way that differs from the method employed for the heating mode, according to the Instruction Manual.

For products purchased after October 2020: If cooling is controlled, the thermostat must be switched to cooling mode in the application or using the thermostat's touch buttons. In this case, it is not necessary to change the connection.

No, the appliance is able to control air-conditioning equipment and any other device which can be operated only by its ON/OFF function.

No batteries are required to operate the E280FC. A 230 V mains supply is required to operate the thermostat. It is important to know that the installation of the product requires a 65-mm junction box (as with sockets) or a lifting frame if it is not possible to sink it into the wall.

If you use an Android operating system you can download the application from Google Play Store. If you use iOS operating system you can download the application from iTunes Store. The name of the application is COMPUTHERM E Series.

The number of the appliances is unlimited. Every commissioned E280FC appliance can be added to your phone application and can be controlled from your phone.

No. Each thermostat is connected to the local Wi-Fi network separately and this solution guarantees reliable and trouble-free operation of the appliances.

The appliance is able to operate with full functionality even without having a Wi-Fi connection with Internet access by means of the touch keys of the thermostat, but the thermostat can be controlled remotely only if it is connected to a Wi-Fi connection with Internet access.

For   more   detailed   information   please   refer   to   the   Instruction   Manual   of   the   appliance (Instruction Manual).

 It is advisable to place the thermostat in a room used for regular or long-term stays in such a way that it faces the direction of the room's natural air movement, but is not exposed to drafts or extreme heat (e.g. sunlight, refrigerator, chimney, etc.). Its optimal location is at a height of 0.75-1.5 m from the floor level.

It is expedient to locate the thermostat in a room where you stay regularly or a long period of time so that the thermostat is oriented in the direction of the natural ventilation of the room but is not exposed to draught or extreme heat (e.g. sunlight, refrigerator, chimney, etc.). Its optimal location is at a height of 0.75-1.5 m from the floor level.

Using a floor temperature sensor output(s) can be controlled easily by the temperature measured by this sensor. On the other hand, with its help a maximum temperature can be set and the thermostat switches off the outputs when this temperature is reached. For underfloor and electrical heating systems this function can be especially useful for safety reasons. If you want to measure the floor temperature it is recommended that the temperature sensor is placed in short copper pipe and this pipe is sunk into the floor so that it can be replaced easily in the event of a failure.

No, there is no output for this on the device. In the case of the E280FC, the built-in temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature.

If the display shows Error (Er, Err), the set temperature sensor does not give a signal to the thermostat. If the floor temperature sensor is not connected, select Built-in temperature sensor in the Sensor mode (SEN) function in the phone application or in the device's menu. If the floor sensor is connected, check that the connection is correct.

The appliance has potential free (voltage free) output connection points therefore 230 V voltage normally does not appear at its outputs, it only links the two connected wires or disrupts the connection between them. If you want 230 V voltage to appear at the output of the appliance when it is switched off then you have to connect a mains phase wire to one of the connection points according to the Instruction Manual. Before connection the phase wire must be de-energized and the connection must be carried out by a competent person.

Temperatures measured by the appliance can be calibrated and the modified temperature values appear on the display. Calibration of measured temperatures can be carried out according to Chapter 10.2. of the Instruction Manual.

If the appliance cannot be controlled via the Internet because the application indicates that the appliance is inaccessible and does not respond to the modifications then the connection between the appliance and the web interface has been interrupted. This situation may be due to several reasons. The problem is most probably caused by the Wi-Fi router being used. It is expedient to restart the routers from time to time by interrupting and restoring power supply. In most of the cases this type of problems is solved by restarting the router. If the appliance is still inaccessible at the front end after a few minutes have elapsed then it is recommended that the appliance is reconnected to the Wi-Fi network according to Chapter 7.2. of the Instruction Manual. If the connection is successful but the appliance is still inaccessible then it is recommended that the router is set to factory default, because it may occur that the device cannot be connected to the Internet because of some settings. While the thermostat is inaccessible via the Internet you can control it manually with the touch keys of the thermostat.

The appliance does not work without power supply but it can memorize the settings. If the power supply  is  disturbed  (power  outage),  it  is  able  to  continue  to  function  without  any  external intervention after the power supply is restored, if this option is chosen among settings (see Chapter 10.6. of the Instruction Manual).

All settings of the thermostat, except for date and time, are set back to the factory default settings according to Chapter 10.8. of the Instruction Manual.
