How do you save and restore the Aerona Smart Controller’s default settings?

The Aerona Smart Controller can store and recall a default system setting scheme within its memory. Once the heat pump system has been installed and commissioned, the applied settings (including the demand schedules and legionella protection) can be stored within the Smart heat pump controller. This can then be recalled if a setting is inadvertently changed causing issues within the system.  

How to store current system settings 

To store the current system settings after the system has been configured and commissioned, go to the main menu on the home screen and tap the ‘Settings’ icon towards the bottom left of the screen (shown below).

Next, select ‘Service Settings’ and then type in the 4 digit password of ‘0000’ before selecting ‘Enter’. On the next screen, tap ‘Installation Controller’.

On the following screen, scroll down to the bottom of the menu and select ‘Default Settings’. Then select ‘Save current settings as default’ and confirm your selection by tapping the ‘tick’ icon. A message will then appear on the Smart Controller’s screen to confirm that the settings have been saved. 

How to restore saved default settings

To restore the current saved default settings to the Aerona Smart Controller, you follow a similar process for storing default settings. To restore default settings:

1. From the home screen, tap the ‘Settings’ icon in the bottom left hand corner
2. Select ‘Service Settings’, type in the 4 digit password ‘0000’ and press ‘enter’
3. Select ‘Installation Controller’ and scroll down the menu to the bottom to select ‘Default settings’
4. Tap ‘Restore default settings’ and select the ‘tick’ icon to confirm your selection
5. Once the default settings have been restored, a confirmation message will appear on the display screen – tap the ‘tick’ icon to acknowledge the update
6. Return to the home screen and main menu by tapping the back arrow in the top left hand corner.

Please note, if any paired thermostats were previously connected to the heat pump controller, they will need to be re-paired to space heating circuits after the default settings have been restored. 

When would you need to restore default settings?

As mentioned above, a heat pump installer may need to restore the default settings on the Aerona Smart Controller if the previously saved settings have been changed for one reason or another. 

In the event of an error being flagged by the controller, you would first hear an audible alarm. The first troubleshooting step for this would be to attempt to restore the saved system default settings as outlined above. 

Can you restore default settings via ecoNet?

No, the processes for either storing current system settings or restoring saved default settings must be completed using the Aerona Smart Controller’s interface. These options cannot be accessed through an online ecoNET account.
