4. Siting

• The TRT033N must be sited where it will not be influenced
by heat sources, for example above a radiator or a television or
a refrigerator/freezer or in direct sunlight or subjected to draughts.

• The product requires air circulation, so do not position above
or below shelving or other wall mounted obstacles.

• It should be mounted approximately 1.5 metres above floor level.

5. Installation

5.1 Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses

are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.

5.2 Remove the wall plate from the unit, by undoing the retaining screws,

and pivoting the bottom of the unit outwards. The TRT033N body
can then be lifted off.

5.3 Mark the position of the mounting holes on the wall using the wall plate

as a template. Drill out the mounting holes taking care to avoid any
joists, electrical cables or water/gas pipes that may be hidden beneath
the surface. Insert the rawl plugs into the holes.

5.4 Pass the 230V 50Hz mains supply and load cables through the opening

3

of the wall plate. Allow sufficient excess cable to wire up the unit, but
not too much to make it difficult to close the unit to the wall plate.

5.5 Fix the wall plate to the wall using the correct mounting screws for the

rawl plugs installed. The retaining screws which secure the unit to the
wall plate should be at the bottom.

5.6 Terminate the cables into the terminal block ensuring correct polarity

is observed and that all bare conductors are sleeved (See section 6.
Connection Diagram). Make sure that the curved washer grips
the conductor.

5.7 To insert batteries into the unit, first lower hinged flip down cover

and carefully lever the battery holder cover off. Insert the 2x AA
batteries supplied into the battery holder maintaining the correct polarity,
as shown in the base of the battery holder. Re-position the battery holder
cover and click into place.

5.8 To reinstall the unit onto the wall plate, first ensure the wall plate

retaining screws are loosened enough to clear the TRT033N body,
then engage the top of the TRT033N onto the wall plate retaining tabs,
and push firmly downwards and then upwards. There will be some
resistance from the terminals.

5.9 Once in place, secure with the retaining screws making sure

not to over tighten.

7. DIP Switch Settings

• The temperature swing can be adjusted between 0.5°C and 1.0°C by
selecting the desired DIP switch position found on the rear of the unit.
We suggest using 0.5°C position unless the boiler turns ON and OFF
too rapidly. Press the reset button after changing.

• The PID ‘Proportional-Integral-Derivative’ can also be selected ON or OFF
using the DIP switches on the rear of the unit. We suggest setting this to
the ON position. As the room temperature approaches the set temperature,
the thermostat will intermittently turn the heating ON and OFF, to help
prevent temperature over-shoot. Press the reset button after changing.

• The boiler type can be set to either 3CYC (Gas) or 6CYC (Oil), using the
DIP switches on the rear of the unit. Press the reset button after changing.

and the +/- button surround and display light will illuminate upon setting.

• The set temperature and illumination will time out 5 seconds after the last
button press, saving your settings, and the display will revert to show the
current room temperature.

• When the room temperature is below the set temperature, the heating
symbol will appear on the display to indicate output.

Heating symbol will show when
heat is demanded.

Frost Protection Mode

• Use the +/- buttons to set the desired hours, the button surround
will illuminate.

• When the correct number of hours is selected, the display will time out
3 seconds after the last button is pressed. The display will then alternate
every 2.5 seconds between the number of hours of night set back
remaining, and the current room temperature. The Night set back
bed symbol will flash continuously whilst active.

The night set back bed symbol will
continuously flash when night set back
is active.
