One of the main advantages of e-Ink technology is its extremely low power consumption. Due to the low refresh rate, black pixels may appear for 1 second when entering menus, submenus, or changing displayed information. This is not a defect. The screen can display in positive or negative, white or black modes.

How E-Ink Technology Works:

E-Ink uses small capsules containing electrically charged particles (white and black) suspended in a liquid. When an electric field is applied to these capsules, the particles move and change the pixel color, forming the displayed image.

E-Ink technology is known for low energy consumption because energy is only needed to change the image, not to maintain it.

It provides a static image without flicker, similar to paper, offering a more natural reading experience without eye strain.

Advantages:

Low energy consumption: One of the main advantages of E-Ink technology is the extremely low power usage. Devices can run for weeks without needing a recharge.

Readability in natural light: E-Ink screens are very efficient in bright light, including direct sunlight, where LCD or OLED screens can become difficult to read due to glare.

No eye strain: Since it doesn’t emit direct bright light, it's more comfortable for prolonged reading.

Disadvantages:

Low refresh rate: E-Ink screens are not suitable for displaying dynamic content (such as videos or games) because they have a lower refresh rate compared to LCD or OLED screens.

Color limitations: While there are color E-Ink versions, they do not offer color reproduction as vivid as other display technologies.

 Q30 Thermostat Functions:

Temperature Calibration

·        The electronic temperature sensor allows adjustments.
This function is used to calibrate the room temperature displayed by the thermostat if the actual room temperature differs from the displayed one. For example, if the actual room temperature is 21.5°C but the thermostat shows 23°C, you can set this value to -1.5, and then the thermostat will indicate 21.5°C.

Frost Protection

This is the temperature maintained when the thermostat is in frost protection mode. If the room temperature is below 5°C (default), the thermostat will turn on the heating until the room temperature exceeds 5°C.

Differential Switch

This function allows you to increase the thermostat's switching differential. The default value is 0°C, meaning with a set temperature of 20°C, the thermostat will turn on the heating at 19.5°C and turn it off at 20.5°C. With a differential of 0.5°C, the heating will turn on at 19°C and off at 21°C.

Child Lock

When the child lock is ON, the buttons will lock once the backlight turns off. Press the up and down buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds to unlock it for a temporary adjustment.

Open Window Detection (OWD) Function

When the open window detection function is activated in the parameter settings, the system will automatically turn off the heating when it detects a sudden drop in room temperature (2°C in 15 minutes by default). This usually happens when a window or door is opened while the heating is running in that area.
