The Temperzone SAT-2 Thermostat is a sophisticated microprocessor-controlled wall thermostat designed to maintain a high level of comfort in rooms. It offers a user-friendly interface with advanced features, including programmable timers and various operating modes, allowing users to "set it and forget it."

Function Description:

The SAT-2 Thermostat controls an air conditioning system, offering Cool, Fan, Heat (for reverse cycle systems only), and Auto modes. It allows for precise temperature adjustment within a range of 16°C to 30°C and provides options for Auto, High, Medium, and Low fan speeds. The thermostat features a 7-day programmable timer, enabling users to set two start/stop sessions per day, as well as one regular session per week. A bypass function allows immediate operation of the air conditioner, overriding programmed times or the on/off button. The Sleep function is designed to save energy by automatically adjusting the set temperature over a two-hour period, compensating for changes in metabolism during sleep. This function is available in Cool, Heat, and Auto modes. For systems with underceiling indoor units, an Air Swing function is available to control the air louvre sweep. The thermostat also supports optional Zone Control for installations with dampers, allowing individual zones to be turned on or off, with Zone 1 always acting as the master zone. A Key Lock function is included to prevent unauthorized changes to settings. The device provides visual feedback through a backlighting display, which changes color to indicate different operating modes and system faults. Audible feedback is provided by a buzzer, which beeps to acknowledge valid key entries or wireless remote handset reception.

Usage Features:

On/Off Operation: A dedicated button to start and stop the air conditioner. The backlight and system turn on when activated.
Room Temperature Adjustment: Buttons to increase or decrease the preset temperature by 1°C increments. The display shows the current room temperature.
Mode Selection: A "MODE" button cycles through Cool, Fan, Heat, and Auto operation modes.
- Cool: Cools the room to the set temperature if too warm.
- Heat: Warms the room to the set temperature if too cool (reverse cycle systems only).
- Auto: Automatically cools or heats the room to the set temperature.
- Fan: Circulates air without changing room temperature.
Fan Speed Selection: A "FAN" button selects Auto, High, Medium, or Low fan speeds.
