C-Stat 17-ZW
User Instructions
7 Day Wireless Programmable Room
Thermostat and ASR-ZW Receiver
Programmable room thermostats are widely recognised as one
of the best ways in which to control central heating. Horstmann
C-Stat programmable room thermostats have a large display
and intuitive user interface, making them easy to set up and use.
C-Stat uses a sophisticated time proportional integral (TPI)
algorithm for accurate temperature control and energy
efficiency.

What is a programmable room thermostat?
...an explanation for householders.
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 the 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 affect 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.
The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is
to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable
with at 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 won't have to adjust the thermostat further.
Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and
cost you more money.
2
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 chose 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 changes 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 manufacturer's 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.
OVERVIEW – EXPLANATION FOR HOUSEHOLDER
Your installer has made an excellent choice and installed one of
the very latest programmable room thermostats manufactured
by Horstmann of Bristol.
Full of the latest technology, the C-Stat has been designed to be
simple to use and adjust whilst still giving accurate energy
saving control over your heating system.
Communication between the thermostat and it's receiver is by Z
Wave wireless RF technology which avoids the need for
additional wiring.

Setting the OPTIMUM START
This setting will allow the C-Stat to anticipate the next set

room temperature has been reached by the time the new set
temperature applies.
As a consequence the switch on time could take place anywhere
between 2 hours and zero before the set time and temperature.
With the optimum start set to OFF the user will need to anticipate
the warm up time needed in the programme settings. (Typically
the set temperature will be set approx. 1 hour in advance of
when it is required)

SET UP Z-WAVE
The ASR-ZW receiver unit receives the
Z-Wave radio signals from the C-Stat
programmable room thermostat. In the
unlikely event of a communication
failure it is possible to override the
system and switch On and Off using the
On/Off buttons on the ASR-ZW receiver
as a local override.
22
If the override is used to override the C-Stat thermostat when it is
functioning correctly then the override will be cancelled by the
next switching operation of the thermostat and normal operation
will be resumed.
In any case, with no further intervention, normal operation will be
restored within one hour of the override being operated.
The Z-Wave wireless communication should be set by your
installer on installation. If you have any problems and require
further information please refer to the installation instructions or
contact your installer.
RESETTING THE C-STAT
Electronic equipment can in some circumstances be affected by
electrical interference.
If the display becomes frozen or scrambled simply press both
the BACK and ENTER button simultaneously.
ALL settings made prior to resetting will remain except the Time
and Date, which will need to be re-entered.
Details of how to do this can be found on page 14 of this leaflet
BACK ENTER
BATTERY
The C-Stat thermostat runs on 2 standard AA (Alkaline) non
rechargeable batteries and is designed to give a battery life of
approximately two years.
There are three stages of warning as the batteries become low
in power.
23
Stage 1 – The battery low symbol will appear in the display
Stage 2 – The words 'Low Battery' will appear in the display for 1
second each time a button is operated
Stage 3 – The unit will switch itself OFF and the message
'Replace Batteries' will appear permanently in the display.
The batteries should be changed at Stage 2 at the latest.
To replace the batteries of the C-Stat, please carefully pull down
the hinged battery cover on the front of the unit. Ensure they are
fitted correctly as indicated by the terminal markings in the
battery compartment.
Please dispose the old batteries responsibly
SERVICE AND REPAIR
This programmer is NOT user serviceable. Please do not
dismantle the unit. In the unlikely event of a fault developing
please refer to the RESETTING THE C-STAT on page 23. If this
fails to resolve the problem please contact a local heating
engineer or a qualified electrician.
