T-BT Battery powered wireless thermostat
Herschel T-BT is a compact battery-powered thermostat control designed to work
exclusively with Herschel XLSheaters with their built-in SMART-R receiver.
T-BT features a manual temperature mode, a 7x1 day program mode and a holiday (or
Away) mode. All modes will operate your Herschel heater(s) by turning them ON if the
room temperature is lower than the desired temperature and will turn them OFF once the
desired temperatureis reached or exceeded.
The T-BT is designed to be easy to operate and incorporates the latest energy-saving
features including Herschel’s open window technology and an adaptive start function
ensuring your room is always at theright temperature withthe least energy use.
The T-BT can be paired to more than one heater meaning multiple heaters within the room
can be controlled withthe same T-BTthermostat.
The T-BT is not wifi enabled and will notwork with the Smartlife App.
Please read these instructions in conjunction withthe Herschel XLS panel instructions.
This appliance is battery operated but must be installed outside of the splash zones in
bathrooms.

Selecting & using operating modes
Your Herschel Select XLS heater works most efficiently when it is set up to run
against a program controlled by the T-BT thermostat. This program will always
ensure your room reaches the temperature you want at the time you want it, each
day of the week.
Usually you will want to set up and run the unit in Program (PRG) mode. You can
always override the programmed set temperature to be higher or lower by using the
+ or – keys to change the temperature and the T-BT will maintain this override
temperature until the next programmed period starts (when the next programmed
temperature will be set).
Selecting Manual (MAN) mode allows you to set and maintain a constant
temperature that does not vary with the time of day.
There is also a Holiday (HOL) mode which allows you to save energy by setting a
lower temperature while you are away. The HOL mode has a day-counter feature
allowing you to set the number of days you are away and return the heating to
normal operation ahead of your return.
Selecting the OperatingMode
To select Manual or Programming modes, press the PRG button until the mode you
require is shown at the top of the display.
Manual Mode
Select the Manual mode by clicking the PRG button until MAN is shown on the
display.
Use the + or – buttons to set the temperature you want the T-BT to maintain in the
room. Note that the T-BT will maintain this temperature 24 x 7 until you switch to
another mode.
Program Mode
Mon - Fri Sat - Sun
Period 1 06:30 21°C 08:00 21°C
Period 2 08:00 18°C 10:00 18°C
Period 3 18:00 21°C 18:00 21°C
Period 4 22:30 16°C 23:00 16°C
The T-BT comes with the following
program defaults which you can
keep or change.
You can also decide if you want to
manage days as a 5+2 schedule
(weekdays the same and weekend
days the same) or as a 7x1 schedule
(all days different).

Programming the T-BT
To change the program defaults, proceed as follows.
Select 5+2 or 7x1 programming modes
With Program Mode PRG selected,
long-press the PRG button to
commence programming.
Number 01 will flash on the display. This
signifies choosing a 5+2 schedule.
Click the + button to change to ’02’
which signifies the individual day (7 x 1)
schedule.
Set time & temperature for each day
Click PRG again and the display will change to allow input of the time and
temperature of the first day.
Use + or – buttons to change the time.
Press PRG to advance to the temperature setting.
Use + or – buttons to change the temperature.
Press PRG to advance to the next period.
Repeat the above steps to complete the 4 periods for each day. On a 5+2 schedule
this means a total of 8 programming steps. On a 7x1 schedule this means a total of
28 programming steps. After the final programming entry, the next click of PRG will
return the unit to normal operation.
Holiday Mode
Holiday (Away) mode allows you to set a
cooler fallback temperature to maintain
in the house to save energy but avoid
frozen water pipes. The mode has a
countdown timer in which you can set up
to 99 days away, ensuring your normal
heating settings resume ahead of your
return, allowing you to come back to a
warm property.
T-BT Battery powered

To set the countdown timer, long press on the Holiday (Palm Tree) button on the key
pad. The “HOL” Mode is displayed and the days display will begin to flash.
Adjust the number of days you are away using + and – keys.
Press the Holiday button again to set the temperature to be maintained while you are
away.
Alter the temperature using the + and – keys.
Press the Holiday button again to save and exit. The days number will count down
daily until your entered number of days has elapsed and your thermostat will revert
to its previous mode and settings. We recommend ending holiday mode at least one
day before your return to allow your house to warm back up again.
To quit an active holiday mode, press the “PRG” button and select Manual or program
modes.
Open Window Function
If the T-BT detects a temperature drop of more than 3°C within 15 minutes, the
controller will power-off the heater. “OF” will appear on the screen and the text
“Alarm! Open Window!” will be displayed. Pressing the Power button on the unit will
resume normal operation, or waiting for 30 minutes will also restore normal
operation.
Open Window detection will only work if the feature is activated and shown as an
Open Window icon on the display (see display schematic on page 2). To activate the
Open Window function, press “SET” and ‘+’ together for 3 seconds. To deactivate the
Open Window function, repeat the process.
Adaptive Start
Adaptive start is an intelligent energy-saving feature which will turn on the heating in
advance of the next scheduled time if the current temperature is more than 5°C
below the next target temperature. (This avoids wasteful loads on the heater).
Adaptive Start will only work if the feature is activated and shown as a Timer icon on
the display (see display schematic on page 2). To activate the Adaptive Start feature,
press “SET” and ‘-’ together for 3 seconds. To deactivate, repeat the process.
Keypad Lock
To activate the keypad lock, press SET and Holiday Mode buttons together for 3
seconds. A shut padlock icon will appear on the screen. Press SET and Holiday Mode
buttons together again for another 3 seconds to deactivate the keypad lock.

Calibration
Calibration is a process to alter the temperature of the T-BT up or down in order to
align the unit with another thermostat.
The T-BT can be calibrated 5°C up or down from the default of 0 (no calibration). You
can calibrate in steps of 0.5°C.
Calibrating UP (i.e. +1 °C etc) means the T-BT will display a higher temperature than
the present one being shown. Use this when you think the T-BT is under-reading
compared with another thermostat.
Calibrating DOWN (i.e. - 1 °C etc) means the T-BT will display a lower temperature
than the present one being shown. Use this when you think the T-BT is over-reading
compared with another thermostat.
When adjusting the T-BT Time & Temperature settings using the SET button,
calibration is the final setting you can change. The default is 0. Use + or – keys to
adjust this figure up or down.
