The unit has no user-accessible buttons to avoid manipulation of the device in public environments. Installers rely on a pen-shaped magnet to perform tasks related to the installation.

To pair a device to a MultiTech gateway:
In a web browser, navigate to the gateway IP address
Login to the gateway

Mounting Position and OFF
...
Once the unit is securely attached to the valve,
Briefly tap the pen magnet on the micr°pelt logo on the product’s cover
The radio establishes a link to the gateway
upon successful completion, a double-beep soundsUnit body \rightarrow The motor performs a reference run
upon successful completion, a triple-beep soundsUnit body \rightarrow The unit is now active
Activation only works from mounting position. If performed during normal operation, the product will not show any reaction.
Upon activation, the device initially moves to 50%. From there it makes adjustments as appropriate (moves to the instructed valve position, or monitors and controls the temperature).
Reset (from Normal Operation only)
The RESET function allows access to mounting position. It is also useful to restore correct operation should a malfunction occur.
To RESET the device,
Hold the pen magnet to the micr°pelt logo on the product’s cover until a beep sounds
The internal microcontroller will reset and restart
If the device is mounted on a valve, it will activate
If the device is unmounted, it will go into mounting position and switch OFF
Note: During radio communication and motor movement, the device ignores magnet input. If the magnet has been held to the mic°pelt logo for more than 5 seconds but a beep did not sound, briefly remove the magnet and then try again.
No Reset from Mounting Position
...
Unscrew the ring nut from the valve and RESET the device. It will move to mounting position and switch OFF.
Temperature Control Loop
To obtain an estimate of the ambient temperature, the device measures the flow temperature every 5 minutes and performs a moving average across the last 30 minutes. It then performs the following computation:
Mathblock |
---|
\frac {\text{Ambient Sensor Raw Value}^{2.2}} {\text{Flow Sensor Raw Values Moving Average}^{1.2}} |
Having established an estimate of the ambient temperature, the device then compares this estimate to the ambient temperature requested by the user. If they are the same, or if the ambient temperature is already moving towards the requested temperature, the device does not move the motor. Otherwise, the device applies a Proportional Controller Gain algorithm to compute the motor movement:

(P * \text{Temperature Difference} * 4) \text{ %} |
The default value of P is 3. It can be modified via the downlink packet.
