Programmable room thermostats are widely recognised as one
of the best ways in which to control central heating. C-Stat
programmable room thermostats have a large display and
intuitive user interface, making them easy to set up and use. CStat uses a sophisticated load compensation (LC) algorithm for
accurate temperature control and energy efficiency. Being
battery powered, these models are suitable for replacing most
existing room thermostats.
Installation and connection should only be carried out by a
suitable qualified person and in accordance with the edition of
the IEE wiring regulation.
Warning: Isolate mains supply before commencing installation.
Positioning the C-Stat programmable room
thermostat
The C-Stat should be mounted on an internal wall
approximately 1.5 metres from floor level and should be
in a position away from draughts, direct heat and
sunlight. Ensure that there will be enough space to allow
access to the two retaining screws located at the base of
the wall plate
1.5m

Fitting the wall plate
To remove the wall plate from the C-Stat undo the two retaining
screws located on the underside, the wall plate should now be
easily removed. Once the wall plate has been removed from the
packaging please ensure the C-Stat is resealed to prevent
damage from dust, debris etc.
The wall plate should be fitted in a position which allows a total
clearance of at least 50mm around the C-Stat programmable
thermostat.

Direct Wall Mounting
Offer the plate to the wall in the position the C-Stat is to be
mounted and mark the fixing positions through the slots in the
wall plate. Drill and plug the wall, then secure the plate in
position. The slots in the wall plate with compensate for any
misalignment of the fixings.

Wiring Box Mounting
The C-Stat wall plate may be fitted directly on to a single gang
steel flush wiring box complying with BS4662, using two M3.5
screws. The C-stat is suitable for mounting on a flat surface only;
it must not be positioned on an unearthed metal surface.
Electrical Connections
All necessary electrical connections should now be made. Flush
wiring can enter from the rear through the aperture in the wall
plate. The recommended cable size is 1.0mm².

The C-Stat is double insulated and does not require an earth
connection, an earth connection block is provided on the wall
plate for terminating any cable earth conductors. Earth
continuity must be maintained and all bare earth conductors
must be sleeved. Ensure that no conductors are left protruding
outside the central space enclosed by the wall plate.
Ÿ The C-Stat has voltage free contacts
Ÿ The C-Stat is battery powered, therefore no mains connection
is required to power it.
Please ensure that all wiring complies with current IEE
regulations

LC Temperature control software
Thermostats using LC control algorithms will reduce the
temperature swing that normally occurs when using traditional
bellows or thermally operated thermostats. As a consequence,
an LC regulating thermostat will maintain the comfort level far
more efficiently than any traditional thermostat.
When used with a condensing boiler, the LC thermostat will help
to save energy as the control algorithm allows the boiler to
operate in condensing mode more consistently compared to
older types of thermostat.
Ÿ For Gas boilers set the LC setting to 6 cycles per hour (default
setting)
Ÿ For Oil boilers set the LC setting to 3 cycles per hour
Ÿ For Electric heating set the LC setting to 12 cycles per hour
To adjust this setting go to the SET UP MENU and select LC

Fitting the C-Stat to the wall plate
Fit the 2 x AA batteries provided under 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.
Complete the installation by swinging the C-Stat into position by
engaging the lugs at the top of the wall plate before pushing it
firmly home into its plug-in terminal block.
Tighten the 2 captive screws on the underside of the unit.
Now ensure that the heating system is responding to the On/Off
commands from the C-Stat. Explain its operation to the
householder and hand over the users operating instructions to
the user.
