Overview
The Uponor Heat and Cool
Thermostat (A3030102) controls
hydronic heating, air conditioning
and a fan. The six-wire thermostat
receives power from the Rh (radiant
heating) and C (cooling) terminals.
These thermostats are powersharing, meaning they receive power
for operation by sharing voltage
with the connected wiring. This
eliminates any need for a third wire
or batteries, making them simple to
install, wire and service.
Note: Uponor thermostats work
effortlessly with other Uponor
components. However, some
commonly used third-party devices
(e.g., relays, zone valves, etc.) may
have compatibility issues with these
thermostats. If connecting the
Uponor thermostat to a third-party
control device, refer to that device’s
installation instructions for specific
information regarding operation
with power-sharing thermostats. The
ypical Wiring Schematics section on
T
page 5 features the most common
wiring applications. For additional
help, contact Technical Services.

• Wire stripper and cutter
Installation
To properly install the thermostat,
refer to the following instructions.
1. Thoroughly read this instruction
sheet to understand the proper
procedures for installation and
operation. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the
thermostat or its connected
equipment, and can also create
a safety hazard.
2. Ensure the function and rating
of the thermostat is suitable for
the application.
3. Only experienced and trained
professionals familiar with lowvoltage wiring should attempt to
install the thermostat.
4. Uponor recommends using
18AWG LVT wiring for all
low-voltage connections
(as regulated by local
building c
odes).

Mounting the Wall Plate
The thermostat case can mount to a
standard electrical wall box or most
wall surfaces using suitable
hardware. To properly mount the
wall plate, refer to the following
instructions.

1. Separate the front and back
plates of the thermostat by
gently applying downward
pressure on the front plate to
separate the front plate from
the back plate.
2. Pull the thermostat wire
through the round opening in
the back plate.
3. Place the back plate against the
wall at the desired location to
cover the opening or electrical
wall box.
4. Align the holes of the back
plate to the holes in the wall or
electrical wall box, and attach
the plate with screws. If
mounting the plate to drywall,
use wall anchors and screws.
5. If the wall cavity behind the

Operation
The dynamics of a r
heating system differ from a
typical baseboard or forced-air
heating syst
radiant systems heat the mass
and the objects in the room. The
Uponor thermostat uses optimized
control logic to control radiant
systems. Refer to the following

Heating Mode
When the room temperature falls
0.5°F (0.25°C) below the desired
room setting, the control devices wired
to the thermostat activate. When the
room temperature rises 0.5°F (0.25°C)
above the desired room setting, the
control devices wired to the thermostat
deactivate.
Cooling Mode
When the room temperature rises to
1°F (0.5°C) above the desired room
setting, the control devices wired to
the thermostat activate. When the
room temperature falls 1°F (0.5°C)
below the desired room setting, the
control devices wired to the thermostat
deactivate.

Automatic Mode
The thermostat automatically switches
between heating and cooling modes
based on the heating and cooling
setpoints. (The cooling setpoint must
be greater than or equal to the heating
setpoint.) When the thermostat is in
automatic mode, the cooling mode
icon (snowflake) flashes when the
cooling system is active; the heating
mode icon (floor with tubing) flashes
when the heating system is active.

Note: In PWM mode, the heating
equipment may temporarily turn off
even when the heating icon is
flashing (indicating a call for heat).
Note: Operating forced-air heat
disables PWM mode. Refer to the
Differential Setting section on
page 4 for further details.
Digital Filtering
The thermostats also feature digital
filtering, meaning the thermostat
continuously measures the room
temperature and employs a digital
filter to create a stable reading and
consistent operation. If each room
temperature reading displayed as it
is sensed, the temperature shown
would appear erratic and
inconsistent. The filtering technique
throws out sensor readings with
large differences from the displayed
temperature and then limits the
amount any individual reading
can affect the overall displayed
reading. This results in a smooth
display and operation.
Note: Due to filtering, the displayed
room temperature can take up to a
minute to change 1°F (0.5°C).
Important: Uponor thermostats
conform to universal industry
standards. Uponor is not
responsible for damages
resulting from misapplication or
misuse of its products. To avoid
damage to the thermostat,
install the thermostat with the
power disconnected.
Setting and Adjusting
the Thermostat
All user functions operate via two
buttons (+ and –) located on the
front of the thermostat case.

Adjusting the
Temperature
To adjust the temperature setting,
refer to the following instructions.
Pressing the + (increase or top
button) or – (decrease or bottom
button) changes the desired room
temperature setting.
1. Press either button to enter the
setting program mode.
2. When adjusting the heating
setpoint, the Heating icon will
flash; when adjusting the
cooling setpoint, the Cooling
icon will flash.
3
. Press the + (top button) to
increase the room setting and
the – (bottom button) to
decrease the room setting. Press
and hold the button to rapidly
change the temperature setting.
4. The thermostat accepts the new
setting five seconds after
pressing the last button; then
t
he thermostat reverts to
displaying the current room
temperature.
Note: When the mode is set to Off,
temperature settings cannot be
changed or adjusted.
Note: If the thermostat is in
Automatic mode, changing the
setting will change the setpoint that
is currently active. When the
thermostat is set for Automatic
mode, and Cooling mode is active,
changing the setting will affect the
cooling setpoint. When the
thermostat is set for Automatic
mode, and Heating mode is active,
changing the setting will affect the
heating setpoint. The mode icon will
flash to indicate which mode is
active when changing the setpoint
in Automatic mode. To change a
setpoint, that mode must be active
(e.g., if the Cooling mode is active
and the user wants to change the
heating setpoint, the user must
activate the Heating mode to
change the heating setpoint).
Changing Modes
(Heating, Cooling
and Off)
This thermostat does not use a
switch to change the mode from
Heat to Off. To change the modes,
refer to the following instructions.
1. Press both (+ and –) buttons
simultaneously to change
the mode.
2. Ensure the program bar is
flashing to indicate the
thermostat is in the
programming mode.
3. Press the + or – button to
change the mode of operation.
Using the + (top) button or the
– (bottom) button changes the
rotation sequence of the icons
or modes.

prevent freezing. Regardless of the
temperature setting and mode
(Heating, Cooling or Off), the
thermostat will activate the heating
circuit at 38°F (3.3°C) until the room
temperature reaches 38.8°F (3.8°C).
Users cannot disable this feature.
