Introduction
This thermostat is for use with high voltage systems (120 V/240 V) such as electric baseboards, radiant ceiling/floor heaters and convectors ONLY. The unit is rated for high-voltage wiring only (120 V / 240 V). The minimum load requirement is 500 W. NOT for use with low voltage (24 V) central heating & air conditioning systems & wall-mounted furnaces.
Warning
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, AND IN QUEBEC, BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damages caused by improper wiring. Improper installation automatically voids the warranty.

Thermostat should be mounted:
on the existing metal electrical box that controls your heater.
Note: Ensure that the thermostat is not near heat sensitive / flammable material such as exposed wood or wallpaper. The normal surface temperature of the thermostat is 113° to 122°F (45° to 50°C) while in operation. The thermostat is rated to operate safely at these temperatures, but should be kept away from fire hazards.
For NEW home installation, the metal electrical box and thermostat should NOT be mounted:
near temperature-radiating objects that may cause false readings (For example: in front of a window, next to a door leading outside, or near the heat from a lamp, direct sunlight, or a fireplace) near concealed pipes and chimneys. in areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.

INSTALLATION
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, AND IN QUEBEC, BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damages caused by improper wiring. Improper installation automatically voids the warranty.
Before installation:
Verify that the heating appliance that is being connected is within the specified load range. Ensure that the new thermostat is rated for 120 V / 240 V. Ensure that the heating system is protected by appropriate circuit breakers or fuses. Connect to COPPER conductors only.
TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH, SHUT OFF POWER SUPPLY AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE, AND TEST THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING.

Program Heating
This is typically the morning hours, when you may prefer to wake up to a warmer temperature.
This is usually an energy-savings period, for the time when you are away from home. The temperature setting can be reduced to minimize energy consumption. If you are not away from home on a particular day, you may override this setting by manually adjusting the temperature buttons.
This is the period when you typically return home, and would like the house at a comfortable temperature. Generally, the temperature is set to warmer settings during the winter and cooler settings during the summer. If you do not often leave the house during the day, period 1, 2 or 3 can be set at the same temperature for comfort.
This is the period when you would typically be asleep. You may choose to set the temperature for energy savings or comfort, as desired.

OPERATION
Current Temperature Display
The current (room) temperature is displayed on the LCD screen.
Power Bar
This thermostat is equipped with a proportional regulation system to determine the precise amount of power required by the electric heater to maintain the temperature setting.
The “Power Bar” indicate the current output power level. 1 BAR = 10%, 10 BARS = 100% When the heating system is activated at partial power, a proportional number of bars will appear (e.g. 60% = 6 bars). When the heating system is activated at maximum power, all 10 bars will display.
Fireplace Symbol
The fireplace symbol will flash when the heating system is ON (actively heating).
21
The thermostat tracks the system "ON" time; the total time the heating equipment is running. Press the USAGE button once to view USAGE TODAY. Press the USAGE button again to view the USAGE THIS WEEK (total time from Monday to current day);
- USAGE TODAY starts at midnight.
- USAGE THIS WEEK automatically resets itself on Monday morning, after midnight on Sunday.
- A new week begins Monday morning.
Memory Backup
The memory backup will save and protect programs and option settings indefinitely. If an extended power outage occurs, only the clock setting may be affected. The clock will continue to run and display on the LCD screen for up to 1-2 days even without power, due to the rechargeable back-up battery inside the unit. However, if the power outage is longer than 2 days, the clock will need to be reset. (The unit will reset itself to a 9:00 a.m. default).

If pre-comfort recovery is turned off (rE:0),
heating will only be initiated at the exact start time the program period.
Pre-comfort Recovery
This thermostat is equipped with a ‘Pre-comfort Recovery’ system that will activate the heating system in advance of the actual set program time so that the room will be at the desired temperature at the start of the program time.
It is normal for the system to be activated earlier than the actual set program time (up to one hour). The Pre-comfort Recovery can be disabled if desired.
24
Heat Cycle Rate
Cycle rate determines the heating on/off time cycles and the level of proportional power required to operate the heater. (To have the heater operate at full power all the time, select Cr 0 to disable heat cycling.) The cycle rate is based on the type of heating system and the power load required to operate the device. The higher the load (size of baseboard or radiant heater), the greater the heat generated.
Cr 0 is continuous operation (no cycling), with a variance of +/- 0.6 °F (+/-0.3 °C). The heating unit will operate at full power and the arrow bar icon will appear full. This function is for users who do not want their electric heating devices to turn on and off frequently.
Cr 1 is a 20-second cycle rate with proportional heating. This means the heating will be turned on and off once every 20 seconds to provide a stable room temperature. This cycle rate allows a proportion level of power to the heating device. This is indicated on the thermostat display by the bar icon, which will be partially filled, indicating the amount of power going to the heater. This setting is recommended for standard electric heating devices, without fans, and will provide the most energy-efficient heating and a stable temperature.
Cr 2 is a 240-second span. This means the heating will be turned on and off once every 240 seconds. This is the recommended setting for fan-assisted heaters and radiant ceilings.
25
Setting the HIGH-LIMIT FUNCTION
To enable this feature and set a maximum temperature, first press the "UP" or "DOWN" key until the desired high limit temperature is shown in the program temperature pane. Press the “USAGE” and “COPY” keys for 3 seconds to activate the function. A LOCK symbol will be shown.
All existing programs will be scanned, and if the existing temperature setting is above the new maximum set point, it will be reduced to the high-limit set point. The High-limit setting can not be bypassed by programs, temporary overrides or the HOLD function.
To deactivate the function, turn the unit off for at least 30 seconds, and then turn it on. The LOCK symbol will blink for 5 minutes. While the LOCK symbol is blinking, the deactivation process can be carried out by pressing “USAGE” and “COPY” keys for 3 seconds. The LOCK symbol will disappear upon deactivation.

- Check if there has been a power failure.
- Check that the thermostat is wired to a 500 W or greater circuit.
- Check the wiring installation with a certified electrician.
- Press the RESET button under the faceplate (see page 8).
26
Programming Issues: Heating is not activated at the programmed times.
- Review the programming guide to ensure the programs have been entered correctly.
- Check that the clock has been set to the correct time. (e.g.: a.m./p.m. reversed)
- Check if there has been a power failure.
- PROGRAM RESET: Press SET for 3 seconds to enter the option mode, then press PROG for 3 seconds to clear programs settings only.
- RESET ALL: Press and hold the HOLD and the RESET button at the same time to restore all settings to factory default (see page 8).
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The heating system will not activate.
Heating system seems to cycle too often.
- Check the thermostat LCD display to see if there has been a power failure.
- If a lock appears on the LCD when you raise the temperature, the “HIGH-LIMIT FUNCTION” is activated.
- Check heating device to see if it is disabled or if the circuit breaker is open.
- Check the wiring installation with a certified electrician.
Check and ensure that you have selected a Cycle Rate that matches your particular heating system.
27
The temperature display is incorrect.
- Ensure thermostat is not installed near a draft, in direct sunlight or near any devices such are air conditioners or heaters.
