1. Description
This thermostat can be used to control electric heating units such as electric
baseboards, convectors, or aeroconvectors. It keeps the temperature of a room at
the requested set point with a high degree of accuracy. This product is designed for
installations with electrical current - with a resistive load - ranging from 1.25 A to 12.5
A (120/240 VAC). It possesses a user-friendly interface. Furthermore, it gives you the
possibility to control the temperature of a room with great precision.
This thermostat is not compatible with the following installations:
• electrical current higher than 12.5 A with a resistive load (3000 W @ 240 VAC and
1500 W @ 120 VAC);
• electrical current lower than 1.25 A with a resistive load (300 W @ 240 VAC and 150
W @ 120 VAC); and
• central heating system.
Parts supplied:
• one (1) thermostat;
• wall mounting plate located at the back of the thermostat;
• two (2) mounting screws;
• two (2) solderless connectors suitable for copper wires.

2. Installation
Selection of the thermostat location The thermostat must be mounted on a
connection box on a wall facing the heating unit, at around 1.5 m (5 feet) above the
oor level, on a section of the wall exempt from pipes or air ducts.
Do not install the thermostat in a location where temperature measurements could
be altered. For example:
• close to a window, on an external wall, or close to a doorleading outside;
• exposed directly to the light or heat of the Sun, a lamp, a replace or any other heat
source;
• close or in front of an air outlet;
• close to concealed ducts or a chimney; and
• in a location with poor air ow (e.g. behind a door), or with frequent air drafts
conditions (e.g. head of stairs).
Thermostat mounting and connection
1. Cut off power supply on lead wires at the electrical
panel in order to avoid any risk of electric shock.
2. Ensure that the air vents of the thermostat are clean and clear of any obstruction.
3
3. Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw retaining the mounting base of the
thermostat until you feel a loose (do not completely remove the screw).
Then, remove the mounting base at the back of the thermostat by tilting it
downward, then towards you.
4. Align and secure the mounting base to the connection box using the two screws
supplied.
4
5. Take the wires from the wall through the hole at the base of the mounting base
and connect them using the supplied solderless connectors. When making
the connection with aluminum wire, make sure that you are using connectors
identied CO/ALR. Please note that the thermostat wires do not have polarity.
Therefore, the way they are connected is not important.

To adjust the set point, just press down the top button to increase the value, or the
bottom button to decrease it. Set points can be adjusted by increments of 0.5°C (1°F).
To quickly scroll through the set point values, press and hold down the button. The
minimum set point is 3°C (37°F), and the maximum set point is 30°C (86°F). In Day
mode, you can turn off the thermostat by lowering the set point below 3°C. The set
point value displayed will be OFF, and heating system
start up will be impossible.
Day mode and Night mode
The thermostat includes a Day mode and a Night mode , both of them having
their own independently adjustable and recorded set point. When switching from
one mode to the other, the system will automatically use the temperature set point
corresponding to the Day/Night mode selected. The standard factory set point
adjustment is 21°C (70°F) for the Day mode, and 18°C (64°F) for the Night mode.
The current Day/Night mode selection is indicated on the display by the Sun or Moon
icon. In order to manually switch from one mode to the other, simultaneously press
down the two buttons and release them immediately.

Night mode timer
The Night mode features a timer that automatically returns to the Day mode after
a selectable time period. This timer allows the temporary use of a temperature set
point. The standard factory adjustment of the timer is 8 hours. With this adjustment,
the thermostat automatically returns to Day mode 8 hours after being switched to
the Night mode. For example, if you want a night temperature lower than the day
temperature, both Day/Night mode set points will rst have to be set at the desired
temperatures. Before bedtime, the Night mode temperature set point will be
activated by switching manually to the Night mode. The timer is set for the duration
of the night. The thermostat will automatically return to the Day mode at the end
of the night, and the Day mode temperature set point, which is higher, will become
effective at this time.
Night mode timer adjustment procedure
1. If necessary, adjust the Day/Night mode set points at the desired temperatures. If
needed, switch from one mode to the other by simultaneously pressing down the
two buttons and releasing them immediately.
2. From the Night mode, simultaneously press down the two buttons for more than 3
seconds until the moon icon blinks.
3. If needed, adjust the timer by pressing down the top button to increase the value,
or the bottom button to decrease it. The adjustment range is from 1 hour to 999
hours. To quickly scroll through timer values, press and hold down the button.
4. When the adjustment is completed, release the buttons and wait for 5 seconds to
exit the adjustment function.

NOTE:
The Night mode timer will be automatically reinitialized to the latest recorded
value when switching from the Day mode to the Night mode. It is not necessary
to readjust the timer every time you switch to the Night mode. The timer is also
reinitialized when this value is adjusted. Once the timer has completed its cycle and
when the thermostat is in the Day mode, you must manually return to the Night
mode. If you want to automatically return to the Night mode, the Automatic mode
must be selected.
Automatic mode
The Automatic mode, which is associated to the Night mode timer, allows alternating
between the Day/Night modes and the two corresponding set points over a 24-hour
period. Once activated, this mode allows an automatic return to the Night mode after
24 hours. The Automatic mode allows you to dene two periods in a single day with
different set points.
For example, if the Automatic mode is activated and the Night mode timer is set at
8 hours, the thermostat will be operating in the Night mode for 8 hours at the night
temperature set point. Then, it will return to the Day mode for 16 hours operating at
the day temperature set point. At the end of the 24-hour cycle, the thermostat will
return to the Night mode, and the cycle will start over. The 24-hour cycle starts with
the Night mode as soon as the Automatic mode is activated. The Automatic mode
activation should be made when you want to return to the Night mode. The normal
course of a cycle in the Automatic mode is as follows:
1- Night mode: activated for the duration of the Night mode timer cycle. It returns to
the Day mode when the timer cycle is completed.
2- Day mode: activated for the remaining time of the 24-hour cycle. It returns to the
Night mode at the end of the 24- hour cycle.

Adjustment procedure of the Automatic mode
1. If necessary, adjust the Day/Night set point at the desired temperatures. If needed,
switch from one mode to the other by simultaneously pressing down the two
buttons and releasing them immediately.
2. From the Night mode, simultaneously press down the two buttons for more than
3 seconds. If needed, adjust the timer by pressing down the top button to increase
the value, or the bottom button to decrease it. The Night mode timer adjustment
range is from 1 hour to 23 hours in the Automatic mode. To quickly scroll through
the timer values, press and hold the bottom button.
NOTE:
If you set the timer to any value exceeding 23 hours, it will be impossible to
activate the Automatic mode and if it was activated, the Automatic mode will be
deactivated.
3. Activate the Automatic mode by simultaneously pressing down the two buttons
for at least 3 seconds. The Automatic mode icon will appear. If the Automatic
mode was already activated, the same procedure should be used to deactivate it.
4. When the adjustment is completed, release the buttons and wait for 5 seconds to
exit the adjustment function.
11
NOTE:
It is always possible to manually change the Day/ Night mode during a 24-hour
cycle. However, any manual return to the Night mode will re-initialize the Night
mode timer to the latest value recorded, which modies the cycle in progress. In
all cases, at the end of the 24-hour cycle, the thermostat will return to the Night
mode and start a new cycle. It is thus not necessary to readjust the Automatic
mode when a manual change is made to the Day/Night mode.
When turning back on after being powered off (because of a power failure, for
example), the automatization of the Day/Night modes is deactivated, and, if
previously activated, the pictogram that corresponds to this mode will blink. The
blinking will stop as soon as you press down a button.
