Device Settings - Ecostrad iQ WiFi Instruction Manual

6 – 4 | Device Settings
Tap the icon to view and adjust the
element's settings. This menu allows you to
configure several settings not available through
the control dial.
Tap the icon for settings that relate to the
element's listing on the app, including its name,
any automations it is included in, and the
quality of its network connection.
6 – 4 – 1 | Child Lock
Use the toggle switch to lock or unlock the element display.
6 – 4 – 2 | Temperature Compensation
You can adjust the temperature compensation in steps of 1 °C, from -5 °C to 5 °C.
The default temperature compensation is 0 °C.
This setting allows users to adjust for any discrepancy between the average room
temperature and the temperature sensed by the element thermostat. For instance,
if the temperature in the room is 18 °C, but the thermostat senses 16 °C, a
compensation factor of +2 °C will offset the difference.
The accuracy of the element's temperature reading can be affected if the unit is
mounted such that the sensor is positioned in a hot or cold spot – e.g., near hot
water pipes or in a draughty doorway. The sensor is the short probe on the reverse
of the control dial.
6 – 4 – 3 | Open Window Detection
There are three options for the open window detection function: OFF, 60 minutes
and 90 minutes. Open window detection is enabled by default.
Open window detection is an energy-saving feature designed to cut power to the
unit if a window is opened. If the thermostat detects a sudden drop in temperature
(2 °C or more within 5 minutes), the element will switch to an anti-freeze state
where it only heats if the temperature drops below 7 °C. This helps prevent loss of
energy as heat escapes through the window.
The element remains in this state until the time set (60 or 90
minutes) has elapsed, whereupon it will resume heating
according to its previous settings. If the temperature drops
again, the cycle begins again.
The control dial will display "OPEN" when the open window
function is triggered.
