Operating & Installation Instructions

What is a room thermostat?

...an explanation for householders

A room thermostat simply switches the heating
system on and off as necessary. It works by
sensing the air temperature, switching on the
heating when the air temperature falls below
the thermostat setting, and switching it off
once this set temperature has been reached.

Turning a 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 boiler and radiators.

Neither does the setting affect how quickly the
room cools down. Turning a room thermostat to a
lower setting will result in the room being controlled
at a lower temperature, and saves energy.

The heating system will not work if a time switch
or programmer has switched it off.

The way to set and use your room thermostat
is to find the lowest temperature setting
that you are comfortable with, and then
leave it alone to do its job. The best way to
do this is to set the room thermostat to a
low temperature – say 18ºC – and then

You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further.
Any adjustment above this setting will waste
energy and cost you more money.

If your heating system is a boiler with radiators,
there will usually be only one 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 choose 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.

1. Introduction

TRT products are a cost effective
comprehensive range of thermostats
and timers designed for internal use only.

The TRT031 is an electronic frost thermostat,
with an adjustable dial (5°–10ºC) hidden
behind a tamper proof cover.

The TRT032 is an electronic room thermostat,
with an adjustable dial (5°–30ºC) also hidden
behind a tamper proof cover.

They both have optional PID control
(which can help to minimise temperature
over-shoot) and adjustable swing
(difference between on and off switching
temperatures), from 1ºC to 0.5ºC.

It is designed to be surface mounted
on its supplied wall plate.

The electrical supply must be isolated
before removing the thermostat from
the wall plate.
