What is a room thermostat ?
A room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and off
as necessary. It works by sensing the air temperature, switching
on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat
setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been
reached.
Turning a room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the
room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends
on the design of the heating system, for example, the size of the
boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting effect how quickly the rooms cools down.
Turning a room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room
being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.
The heating system will not work if a time switch or programmer
has switched it off.
The way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest
temperature setting that you are comfortable with and then leave it
alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set the room
thermostat to a low temperature - say 18ºC - and turn it up by 1ºC

each day until you are comfortable with the temperature. You won’t
have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustment above this
setting will waste energy and cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be
only one room thermostat to control the whole house. But you can
have different temperatures in individual rooms by installing
thermostatic radiator valves (TRV’s) on individual radiators. If you
don't have TRVs you should choose a temperature that is
reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs you can
choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the coldest
room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other rooms
by adjusting the TRVs.
Room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature,
so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture.
Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent
the thermostat from working properly.

What is a programmable room thermostat ?
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a
room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set On and "Off time
periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat works by
sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air
temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off
once this set temperature has been reached.
So, a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times
you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should
reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures
in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to
meet your particular needs.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting will not
make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up
depends on the design of the heating system, for example, the size
of the boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting effect how quickly the room cools down.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a lower setting will
result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and
saves energy.
Page 6
The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to
find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with
and the different times you have chosen and then leave it alone to
do its job.
The best way to do this is to set low temperatures first, say 18ºC,
and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are
comfortable with the temperatures. You wont have to adjust the
thermostat further. Any adjustment above these setting will waste
energy and cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be
only one programmable room thermostat to control the whole
house. But you can have different temperatures in individual rooms
by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual
radiators. If you don't have TRVs, you should choose a temperature
that is reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you
can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the
coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other
rooms by adjusting the TRVs.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to
be adjusted in spring and Autumn at the change between
Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.

You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for
example “Override”, “Advance” or “Boost” These are explained in
the manufacturers instructions.
Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense
the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked
by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps
may prevent the thermostat from working properly.

How To Setup Your Thermostat
This thermostat has many options available to you. Once you have
set these settings you can leave them. They will be stored in the
thermostat memory and do not need to be adjusted later.
You need to use the table opposite as a reference guide when
initially setting up the thermostat.
We strongly suggest you read the next few pages so that you fully
understand the features available and the intended use.
You should also understand that by enabling one feature, another
feature maybe made unavailable. This is because the feature is not
available in that mode.
Please read the features now
, and then follow the setup routine
on the following pages.

Understanding the Features (Cont)
Optimum Start: Optimum start will delay the start up of the heating
system to the latest possible moment to avoid unnecessary heating,
so that the dwelling is comfortably warm by the programmed time.
The thermostat uses the rate of change (See below) setting to
calculate how long the building needs to take to raise the building
1°C (With a rate of change of 20, the thermostat has calculated the
building needs 20 minutes to raise the building 1°C).
The Optimum start setting is the maximum number of hours the
heating will come on before the programmed time. 00hr = Disabled.
03 is the maximum, and this means the heating will come on a
maximum of 03 hrs before the programmed time.
Rate of Change:
(This feature is only available on the PRT
model) This setting is calculated by the thermostat.
Setting up the Features:
With the thermostat turned off, press for 3 seconds
On the LCD you will see 01(small) to the top right, and 00 (large) in
the centre.
Small setting = Feature # Large setting = Setting
• Use the Up/Down arrow key to change the setting.
