“THESIS PLUS”

lectronic control for towel radiator

THESIS Plus is an electronic thermostat for the control electric towel radiators.
By means of an external sensor it is capable of
keeping the room temperature at the desired value.
THESIS Plus has a simple yet modern design,
suitable for every type of furnishing and every
model of electric towel radiator.
THESIS Plus is easy to install and it is available in
several colors.
THESIS Plus is a certified product.

THESIS Plus is compliant with the following
standards:

-Eco-design Directive for Energy-using Products,
2005/32/EC (<0,5W).

-EN 60335-1:2012

-EN 60335-2-30:2011

Functions

Four operational modes:
"Comfort", "Boost", "Stand-by", "Timer"

• "Comfort" mode:

The thermostat keeps the room temperature at
the value set by the user (through the knob). In
this modality the device can be remotely
controlled through the "Fil-Pilote" system.

• "Boost" mode:

In “Boost” mode the heating element is activated
for a period of 2 hours. During this time interval,
the electrical resistance warms the room
independently of the configured “Comfort”
temperature. The temperature is however
automatically adjusted in order not to exceed
32°C. At the end of the 2 hours period, the device
returns to previous operational mode.

• "Stand-by" mode:

The electric resistance is not powered and all
lights are turned off.

x "Timer" mode:

This operating mode cyclically repeats every 12 or
24 hours the “Boost” mode.

lectronic control for towel radiator

• Disconnect power supply before installation.

• Only qualified personnel can connect the electronic device to the heating element.

• Make sure that the power of the electric resistance does not exceed the maximum power allowed
by the electronic control device.

1. Make sure that the towel radiator does not have leakage or air lock.

2. The device shall not be positioned directly in front of an electric plug.

3. Prevent water jets from hitting the equipment.

4. Connect the temperature controller only to a suitable heating element.

5. Ensure that the mains voltage is the same as indicated in the technical specifications.

6. Make sure that the type of electric resistance is compatible with the model of towel radiator
being used (check the product specifications provided by the manufacturer). The usage of a
heating element with higher power:

- Does not increase the actual power of the towel radiator;

- Might shorten life of the heating element;

- Could damage the equipment.

7. Make sure that the power of the electric resistance does not exceed the maximum power

of the towel radiator (check the label on the heating element).

8. When installed in a room with bathtub or shower, respect the “Protection Zones” according to

IP44 insulation class (in UK according to IEE cabling directives). Furthermore, make sure to
respect all local safety directives.

9. The device has to be protected by a 30mA circuit breaker (RCD).

10. Power the device with the recommended voltage (see technical specifications).

11. If a device is directly connected to a fixed electric installation, install an isolating switch
compliant with local directives for power supply disconnection.

12. Place the "O-Ring" before the fastening area.

13. After ensuring that the "O-Ring" is correctly positioned, screw the electric resistance in the
relevant threaded hole of the towel radiator, properly secure it and insert the cover ring.

14. Extract the connecting cables from the device. The two Faston connectors and the Class I
ground connector.

15. Insert the 2 Faston into the relevant connectors of the heating element.

16. Connect the female Faston connector to Earth (only Class I).

17. Insert the lower part of the heating element into the ready connected thermostat.

18. Align the device to the towel radiator. Warning! Do not rotate the device more than 30
degrees on both directions.

19. Push the device against the base of the heating element to compress the “O-Ring”, properly
fix the related fastener so that the device remains well secured and does not rotate around
the heating element.

20. Connect the power supply cable.

DISPOSAL
This product may not be treated as ordinary household waste. It has to be disposed in proper waste
collection sites. In case of replacement it shall be returned to the distributor.
Such an end-of-life treatment of the product will preserve the environment and will reduce
consumption of natural resources.

Connection to Fil-Pilote system

(Only for product versions equipped with "Fil-Pilote")

Example

Fil-Pilote

Fil-Pilote

Statio

1. A control unit supporting the "Fil-Pilote" system can remotely control a Thesis Plus
device with "Fil-Pilote" functionality (Class II). The brown wire is the Live wire (L), the
gray wire is the Neutral wire (N) and the black wire is used for receiving the Fil-Pilote
signal.

Do not connect the black wire to the ground.

2. A Thesis Plus device without "Fil-Pilote" functionality (Class I) cannot be
remotely controlled. The brown wire is the Live wire (L), the blue wire is the
Neutral wire (N) and the yellow/green wire has to be connected to Earth.

Fil-Pilote

The "Fil-Pilote" system handles 6 different types of signal.

1. Standby: Shut down the heating element but the device remains enabled.

2. Comfort: Maintains the "Comfort" temperature set by the user.

3. ECO: Maintains the temperature 3,5°C below the "Comfort" temperature.

4. Anti-freeze: Avoids that the temperature falls below 7°C.

5. Eco-1: Maintains the temperature 1°C below the "Comfort" temperature.

6. Eco-2: Maintains the temperature 2°C below the "Comfort" temperature.

press again the button.

“Boost” mode: “Boost” for 2h (blinking red light).

- “Timer-24h” mode: Press the knob for 3 seconds to activate this function. The control

system activates the heating element for 2 hours regardless of the set temperature

value (the maximal reachable temperature is 32°C), after that it returns into “Comfort”

mode and after 22 hours the “Boost” mode is started again for 2 hours. This sequence

will repeat endlessly. During the first cycle the duration of the “Comfort” mode is of 21

hours.

“Timer-24h” mode: - “Boost” for 2h (blinking green light).

- “Comfort” for 22h (permanent green light).

- “Timer-12h” mode: Press the knob for 5 seconds to activate this function.
The control system activates the heating element for 2 hours regardless of the set
temperature value (the maximal reachable temperature is 32°C), after that it returns into
“Comfort” mode and after 10 hours the “Boost” mode is started again for 2 hours. This
sequence will repeat endlessly. During the first cycle the duration of the “Comfort” mode
is of 9 hours.

“Timer-12h” mode: - “Boost” for 2h (blinking amber light).

- “Comfort” for 10h (permanent amber light).

Operating mode deactivation: To exit any time from the operating modes “Boost”, “Timer-12h”,
