Choosing the right location for AURATON Cetus The correct operation of AURATON Cetus is largely influenced by its location. The location in a place without air circulation or in direct sunlight may cause improper temperature control. AURATON Cetus should be installed on an internal wall of a building (partition wall) in an environment of free air circulation.

Drill two holes of 6 mm diameter in the wall (the spacing of the holes should be determined by the rear part of the AURATON Cetus housing). Insert the wall plugs into the drilled holes. Screw the rear part of the AURATON Cetus housing to the wall using the screws provided. Put on the AURATON Cetus housing. NOTE: In the case of a wooden wall, there is no need to use wall plugs.

For a selected number of hours, AURATON Cetus will be in the “temporary temperature lowering” mode, and will start it up every day at the same time. NOTE: After the set hour time, AURATON Cetus will return to the basic temperature setting. Instead of the moon ( ), the sun ( ) will appear on the screen.
Deactivating the “temporary temperature lowering” mode AURATON Cetus will perform the programmed mode of temporary temperature lowering every day at the same time until the temporary lowering is deactivated. To switch off, press the button again, and hold it for 3 seconds “Manual”...

AURATON Cetus is equipped with a special FrostGuard function protecting the room against possible freezing. This function is activated when AURATON Cetus is switched off.. With AURATON Cetus switched off, when the temperature in the room drops to 2 °C, the symbols ( and ( ) appear on the display, and the relay switches on.

(PWM) By changing the hysteresis settings (chapter “Configuration settings”) you can enable the PWM. mode. In this mode, AURATON Cetus cyclically switches on the heating device to minimize temperature fluctuations. AURATON Cetus checks the times of temperature rise and fall.
Page 19
Knowing these values, AURATON Cetus switches the heating device on and off in such cycles to maintain the temperature as close to the setpoint value as possible. Temperature Time Setpoint temperaturę Room temperature NOTE: In the PWM mode, AURATON Cetus can switch on the heating device despite the fact that the room temperature is higher than the setpoint temperature.

If no button is pressed for 10 seconds during the programming of a function, it is equivalent to pressing the button. After the relay is switched off (heating function), it can be switched on again not earlier than after 90 seconds.
