The schedule consists of 4 periods per day which represents a typi­cal weekday. You can program the thermostat to skip the periods that
do not apply to your situation. For example, you can skip periods 2
and 3 for the weekend.

The Comfort ( ) temperature is used in periods 1 and 3 and the
Economy ( ) temperature is used in periods 2 and 4. For example,
when the period changes from 1 to 2, the setpoint automatically
changes from Comfort setting ( ) to Economy setting ( ).

You can have a different program for each day of the week; i.e., each
period can start at different time for each day of the week. The
thermostat has been programmed with the following schedule.

During a power outage, the settings are stored in memory. However,
only the thermostat’s clock must be re-adjusted if the power failure
lasts more than 2 hours. When power comes back, the thermostat
will return to the operating mode that was active prior to the power
failure.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTIONS

This condition is normal. Under normal
operation, the thermostat housing can
reach a temperature between 35°C (95°F)
and 40°C (104°F).

The thermostat has not been correctly
wired.

The thermostat has not been correctly
wired.

The thermostat is exposed to air draft.
Eliminate the draft.
The sticker on the thermostat’s screen has
not been removed.

The thermostat was without power for
more than 2 hours.

Check that the thermostat is in Automatic
mode. Check the schedule and clock set­tings.

The thermal protection device on the
heater is open. This can happen after a
power failure or if the heater is obstructed
by furniture or curtains.

The heating system is less than the
required minimum load. This thermostat
cannot be used below that rating.
