3. In the General page, configure the following device parameters as needed.
   
   
   
   

   Parameter	Description
   Mounting Orientation	Set the screen orientation based on the mounting orientation. Horizontal Installation: Vertical Installation:
   Heating Date	Set the heating period to control the temperature. The temperature control will stop during the non-heating period.
   Heating Period Reporting Interval	The interval to report data to network server during the heating period. Range: 5~1440 min, Default: 10 min.
   Local Modification Report	The device reports immediately after the scale level or target temperature is adjusted using the button. This function is available only when Temperature Control Algorithm is set to Built-in PID.
   Non-heating Period Valve Status	Select the valve status as Fully open or Fully closed during the non-heating period.
   Non-heating Period Reporting Interval	The interval to report data to network server during the non-heating period. Range: 5~1440 min, Default: 1440 min.
   Valve Descaling	Automatically opens the valve once every 30 days during the non-heating period to help flush out limescale or reduce sticking caused by prolonged inactivity. Disabled by default.
   Temperature Unit	Select the temperature unit displayed on the ToolBox. Note: The temperature unit in the uplink reports is fixed as Celsius(°C). Please modify the threshold settings if the unit is changed.
   Ambient Temperature Source	Select the source of the ambient temperature. Internal NTC: Use internal NTC sensor. LoRa Downlink: Receive temperature data from network server.
   External Temperature Timeout Time	The device will time out if it receives no temperature command from the platform within the specified time. This function is available only when Ambient Temperature Source is set to LoRa Downlink. Range: 1 ~ 1440 min. Default: 30 min.
   External Temperature Timeout Control Strategy	Continue control with Current State: Continue temperature control based on the current state until new external temperature data is received. Switch to internal NTC: Switch to the internal NTC sensor for temperature control until new external temperature data is received, then switch back to the external temperature source. Close the valve: Close the valve and stop temperature control until new external temperature data is received, then resume temperature control.
   Ambient Temperature Display	Enable or disable the display of the ambient temperature after pressing any button. If disabled, the ambient temperature will be replaced by target temperature or valve opening.
   Ambient Temperature Display Time	The ambient temperature display time after pressing any button. Range: 1~10s, Default: 2s.
   Temperature Control	Enable or disable temperature control. For details, refer to Configure Temperature Control Parameters.
   Open Window Detection	Enable or disable open window detection. For details, refer to Configure Temperature Control Parameters.
   Freeze Protection	Enable or disable freeze protection. For details, refer to Configure Temperature Control Parameters.
   System Key	Once enabled, the button can be used to power on/off or reset the device.
   Child Locks	Once enabled, the corresponding button's feature will be disabled. Options: System On/Off and Temperature +/-.
   Valve Emergency Position	When the device battery is low, the valve maintains emergency position, control operations cease, and normal status reporting continues. Range: 0-100% , Default: 50%.
   Time Zone	Select the UTC time zone. When you click Sync button of ToolBox App to sync time, the device will also sync the time zone from smart phone automatically.
   Daylight Saving Time	Enable or disable Daylight Saving Time (DST). Start Time: The start time of DST time range. End Time: The end time of DST time range. DST Bias: The DST time will be faster according to this bias.
   Device password	Change the password for ToolBox App to write this device.

4. Click Write in the lower right corner, and put the NFC detection area of the phone close to the NFC antenna of device. If the configuration succeeds, the following page is displayed.
