ANALOGUE CHRONOTHERMS
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION SHEET
The CM31 and CM37 chronotherms 
are designed to provide automatic time 
and temperature control of heating 
systems in the home.
CM31 is a simple to use battery

CM31 & CM37 CHRONOTHERMS
LOCATION
The CM31 or CM37 Chronotherm is the temperature control 
element in the heating system and MUST be located in a 
position with good air circulation at average room 
temperature on an inside wall 1.5 metres above the floor 
level. Do not position the Chronotherm near sources of heat 
(radiators, hot air vents, TV or lights), near doors or windows, 
or in direct sunlight.
MOUNTING
CM31 and CM37 can be mounted directly on the wall surface 
or on an electrical wallbox. Mounting screws are supplied for 
both alternatives.
WIRING
CM31 and CM37 are designed for fixed wiring only and must 
be installed in accordance with latest l.E.E. regulations. 
Ensure the wiring connections to the supply are via a fuse 
rated at 8 amps (max) and a Class "A" switch (having contact 
separation of at least 3 mm in all poles).

Electric Heating Systems
Systems rated above 8 A resistive 
(1.75 kW) should be controlled via a 
contactor.
Systems rated below 8 A can be 
switched directly by the CM31 or CM37 
relay.
It is recommended that a voltage 
dependent resistor rated at 275 V 
r.m.s., 23 joules, 775 V clamping 
voltage (e.g. Philips V275LA2) is 
installed across the contactor coil to 
suppress interference from voltage 
spikes.
