The ThermoPlus AS2 is a battery powered Programmable
Room Thermostat that has been designed to make its operation
very simple for the householder. The built in automatic clock
means it will not need setting or adjusting for BST and GMT time
changes.
The ThermoPlus will provide a pre-programmed temperature
profile preset by your installer and day-to-day user adjustments
are carried out using just three buttons.
Being battery powered, the ThermoPlus AS2 is particularly
suitable for use as a replacement for older style room
thermostats, without the need to disturb existing wiring.

Part 1 - Day to Day operation
The ThermoPlus AS2 has been designed to be a simple to use
thermostat, requiring minimal user intervention with a preprogrammed heating profile. Simple temperature adjustments
can be easily carried out by using the '+' and '-' buttons. The
indicator lights react to any temporary user adjustments, with
the LED indicators working in the following way;
'Warm' is shown by two red lights and 'Cool' is shown by a single
blue light. The centre button marked 'Warm / Cool' allows you to
toggle between the warm and cool settings. When one or more
red lights are on, you can increase the temperature by pressing
the '+' button. For example, press once to go up by 1°C or press
twice to go up by 2°C.
When the two or three red lights are on, the temperature can
also be lowered by using the '-' button. For example, press once
to go down to the warm setting temperature and press again to
go down to 1°C below warm setting temperature. (Maximum
adjustment to warm temperature +/- 2°C). The blue light
indicates the unit is working to the lower set temperature.
Please note that the '+' or '-' buttons will have no effect on the
lower temperature setting.
Under the flap is a blue button (6). During the summer, or when
you want your central heating off for long periods, for example if
you go on holiday, press the blue button and close the flap.
When you want to go back to normal operation, open the flap
and press the blue button again, remembering to close the flap
once finished.
Both the Warm and Cool temperature settings can be
permanently adjusted, this operation is detailed on page 5.

Power Down Mode
During normal operation the AS2 will go into Power Down
Mode, this is to maximise the life of the 3 x AA batteries fitted.
Normal operation will continue during this mode, and the
heating will be unaffected. The result of the Power Down Mode
will mean that the LED indicators will not be displayed and LCD
will not be illuminated, although the 'Warm' or 'Cool'
temperature will be displayed.
To 'wake up' the AS2 press the 'Warm / Cool' button for 5
seconds, this will then illuminate both the LED and LCD
displays for a period. Any adjustment can then be made, the
Power Down Mode will commence again approximately 8
seconds after the last button press.

Warm and Cool Temperature Adjustment
The Warm and Cool target temperature settings on the
ThermoPlus AS2 are fully adjustable. To change a target
temperature it is first necessary to press the centre button to
bring up the 'Warm' or 'Cool' setting (indicated by the red or blue
LED indicators).
By using the up / down keys under the flap the Warm / Cool
temperature can be increased or decreased to the desired
temperature setting. See page 6.
PLEASE NOTE – it is not possible to set the warm setting to
below that of the cool setting or vice versa.
Once a new temperature has been set in either the Warm or
Cool setting the AS2 will continue to use this setting until the
next manual adjustment.

Battery Replacement
The ThermoPlus AS2 uses 3 x AA (LR6) batteries. The batteries
supplied with the unit should last for approximately two years.
When the batteries are nearing the end of their life a 'LOW BAT'
message will flash on the display.
To change the batteries it is necessary to remove the AS2 from
the wall, to achieve this first press the RELEASE BUTTONS
located under the unit and pull the AS2 away from the mounting
plate by gently pulling up.
Before removing the old batteries please wait for at least 15
seconds after the last button was pressed. Remove old
batteries and ensure the LCD display has gone blank before
fitting the new batteries.
Replace with three new AA size alkaline batteries, ensure they
are fitted correctly as shown by the marking positioned between
the battery terminals. Once batteries have been fitted, replace
the AS2 to the mounting plate, ensuring that the two guide lugs
are fitted into the corresponding slots in the top of the mounting
plate. Now push the AS2 until the release button clicks into
place.
WARNING: You must ensure that the AS2 is always running on
3 x AA batteries and when the battery low message is displayed
it is important that they are changed as soon as possible. This is
to preserve the secondary internal reserve battery which is nonreplaceable.
For best results use alkaline batteries rather than zinc
carbon batteries.
