INTRODUCTION
Your thermostat’s default screen is the Home Screen. This screen displays
important information such as the time, current floor and air temperature as
well as the target set temperature. From this page you can either access the
“MENU” page (press “menu”) or override the current program (press “ ” or “ ”).
When using the 3IE thermostat there are some simple rules to keep in mind:
- Pressing “ ” allows you to confirm your selection
- Pressing “ ” takes you back to a previous page in the menu sequence
- Pressing the “ ” and “ ” buttons allow you to change the setting which is highlighted
- Pressing an illuminated button in this group will allow you to highlight another setting to edit
- Pressing an illuminated button in this group will allow you to select another option in the menu
- When this light is illuminated it indicates that power is being directed to the heating systems (can be turned off).
If you do not press any button on the thermostat for 1 minute, then it will go
to standby mode. In standby mode the screen will be dimmed but the thermostat
will continue to function as normal. To exit standby mode press “wake” ( ).
The button on bottom of the 3IE (button 7) is the power button. You can turn
off your thermostat and your Warmup floor heating system by holding down this
button for 3 seconds. You can turn it on again by holding it down for another
3 seconds.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
The GFCI feature is used to detect any leakage of current from your heating
system. During a ground fault the two lines of the load will be cut off. Once
your thermostat is installed and connected to a power supply you can test the
GFCI function by increasing the set temperature until heating is on – the red
light in the top corner must be illuminated – and pressing the “TEST” button
(see 8).
If your test is successful you will see the GROUND FAULT screen and you will
need to hold “cancel” for 3 seconds in order to restore heating operation.
However if the thermostat detects that one of the relays has FAILED to open
correctly you will see the Control Fault screen and the TEST LED will
illuminate.
In the following circumstances you should immediately isolate the power supply
to the thermostat and contact Warmup customer service:
- Press the TEST button when heating is on (the red light in the top corner is on) and the screen does not display GROUND FAULT or cut power to the load.
- The thermostat shows the GROUND FAULT screen during normal operation.
- The thermostat shows the CONTROL FAULT screen.
Note: The GFCI test should be carried out monthly.
GETTING STARTED
On initial power up the thermostat will guide you through set up procedure.
The energy monitoring menu will be skipped automatically if a pre set program is selected on initial setup.

SETTING YOUR PROGRAM
Press “menu”, then Press “set program”.
You may have to press “wake” first, if the stat is in standby mode.
Press the programming option that suits your needs.
- Set each day separately: set each day of the week with a different program
- Set weekday and weekend: set a program for Monday – Friday and a different program for Saturday and Sunday
- Set all days the same: one program is set for all the days of the week
- Set fixed temperature: set a single temperature to be held constantly
- Select a pre-set: see explanation in table
Press “ ” and “ ” to set the start time for the first of the day.
If you hold a button for several seconds it will scroll continuously until you
release your finger
If you want to change the target floor temperature press “floor temp”, you can
now press “up” and “down” to change the target floor temperature.
If you would rather use your thermostat to target an air temperature then see
page 12.
If you want the target temperature to change later on in the day then press
“add another period”. You can add up to 10 periods in each day.
It is recommended that you finish your daily program on a low target
temperature so that you save energy overnight.
If you do not need the heating to protect against frost then you can scroll
down to the bottom of the temperature range to set the target temperature to
“OFF”. With this setting the heating will not come on regardless of the
temperature.
Once you have set all the desired periods in the day press “OK” to go to the
summary page. This summary page allows you to see the program you have set for
this day. If you need to change something press “edit”. This will take you
back to the first period of the day. Remember that you will need to add all
the periods again. If you are happy with the program and would like to set the
same program for the following day press “copy to …”
If you are happy with the program but would like to set a different program
for the following day press “OK” If you would like to return to the preceding
day press “back”. When you have set a program for all the days including
Sunday (or Weekend in the case of Weekday/Weekend) then pressing “OK” will
enter the schedule and return you to the home screen.
The set temperature for the time before the first period of the day comes from the night before.
If you are using your 3IE thermostat in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen or
living room then the pre-set schedules might help you set a program
appropriate for you. Just select the desired pre-set room and everything is
done automatically.
If you have used a pre-set schedule but want to make some changes just use the
edit schedule function explained in the “View and Edit a Schedule” section.

VIEW AND EDIT A SCHEDULE
If you would like to view or edit the time and temperature settings of each
day then press “view / edit program”.
If you want to change the settings of multiple days it might be easier to
set a new program using the “set program” option Press “up” and “down” until
the day that you would like to view is highlighted, then press “OK” to view
that day.
To exit the “VIEW / EDIT PROGRAM” menu, press “back”. Note that if you have
edited any days these changes will be saved.
Here you can see review the heating schedule for the selected day.
If you would like to change any of the heating periods press “edit”. Remember
that you will have to set all the heating periods. You can view the schedule
for the following day by pressing “view …”.
To return to the day selection, press “OK”.
HOLIDAY MODE
HOLIDAY MODE allows you to over-ride your schedule with a fixed temperature
for a prolonged period of time. This can help save energy if you know that you
will be out of the house and only want minimal heating.
Press the highlighted button next to “holiday”.
Press “up” and “down” to set the first day you would like the HOLIDAY MODE to
start.
Press “holiday end at” and then press “up” and “down” to set the day when you
would like holiday mode to stop. At the end of the HOLIDAY MODE your program
will return to the current settings. If you would like HOLIDAY MODE to
continue indefinitely, leave the end date on “not specified”.
Press “holiday temperature” to set the fixed temperature that will be held for
the entire HOLIDAY MODE period. Pressing “OK” will confirm the selection and
HOLIDAY MODE will start at 12:00 pm on the specified date.
During the HOLIDAY MODE you will have a modified home screen. To cancel the
HOLIDAY MODE at any time just press “cancel”.
If you want to return to HOLIDAY MODE you will need to set it again.
Your thermostat monitors the amount of energy your floor heating system is
using, you can use these pages to view the amount of energy used and set
parameters to estimate the cost of that energy.
If you want to see how much energy you have used then select “view energy use”
and then select the time period you would like to review.
- If you see the “load settings” option you will need to enter the total power in watts of the floor heating system connect to the thermostat. If you are unclear about the power of your floor heating then contact your installer.
If you are interested in seeing how much energy you can save by adjusting the
settings of your thermostat, then alter your heating program and wait a few
days before comparing the daily energy used before and after you changed your
program.
After you press “view energy use”, you will need to select the length of time
in which you are interested. On the graph each red bar indicates a time period
(in this case it is months). The height of the bar indicates that amount of
energy in KWH used by the floor heating system during that period. The bar in
the far right is the most recent time period and the bar on the far left is
the oldest. The total amount of energy used in the entire time span is
displayed in the bottom bar.
Press “OK” to return to the ENERGY MONITOR menu.
If you want to view the estimated cost of your energy usage then you will need to set the cost parameters in “energy settings”. The cost estimate will only be accurate for the time period AFTER you set the heating costs.
- Single energy tariff means that you have a single cost of electricity all day long
- Standard / low energy tariff means that you have a discounted cost of electricity during part of the day. Select the appropriate structure that applies to your electricity tariff plan.
For both the standard and low energy tariff you will need to set a cost per Kilowatt hour (KWH). First set the relevant currency by pressing “up” and “down” (you can select £, $, € and Y). Press “ok” to proceed to the first digit of the energy tariff, press “up” and “down” to select the correct amount and then press “ok” to proceed to the second digit. Continue pressing “ok” until you have set all the digits and returned to the ENERGY MONITOR main page.
If your energy cost is 11.6 cents per KWH then you will need to set it to
$0.116.
If you are setting a “standard/ low energy tariff” you will also need to set
the time of day at which the low energy tariff starts and stops and the cost
per KWH during the low tariff period.
After all these parameters are set you can view the cost of the energy used by
your floor heating system in “view cost estimate”. If you are using “standard
/ low energy tariff” then the amount/ cost of energy used in the standard
period will be displayed in red and the amount/ cost used in the low period
will be displayed in white.

Theme
- Change the content and style of home screen and standby screen
Standby brightness
- Set the brightness of the LCD screen in standby mode between 0 (dimmest) and 5 (brightest)
Note: when set to 0 the LCD screen will turn OFF and the “wake” LED will not be illuminated. You will need to remember that you turn the screen on by pressing
Display brightness
- Set the brightness of the LCD screen in normal operation between 1 (dimmest) and 6 (brightest)
Heating indication
- This feature allows you to turn off the heating indication LED (top right of the LCD screen). The thermostat will continue to operate as normal but the LED will not turn on to indicate when heating has started and stopped.
Audio feedback
- This feature allows you to turn off the beep sound made when a button is pressed
Child lock
- Child lock creates a delay between pressing “wake” and exiting the standby mode. When child lock is on you will need to hold “wake” continuously for 10 seconds in order to exit standby mode.
SETTING HEATING TARGET
Your thermostat is capable of using a floor temperature sensor, air
temperature sensor or both for thermal regulation. If you are using your floor
heating as secondary heating
source (such as in the bathroom) then you might prefer to use the floor
temperature. However if the floor heating is the primary heating source in
your home you might prefer to use the air temperature.
Set floor temperature
- The thermostat will use the temperature reading from the floor sensor to decide whether heating is required to achieve the target set temperature
Set floor temperature with air limit
- Thermostat will use the temperature reading from the floor sensor to decide whether heating is required to achieve the target set temperature, however if the air temperature goes above the set limit then heating will be suspended until air temperature falls below limit.
Set air temperature
- Thermostat will use the temperature reading from the air sensor (inside thermostat housing) to decide whether heating is required to achieve the target set temperature.
Hint: if you change the heating target settings then it is advisable to re- program your thermostat to ensure that the program still meets your needs

SETTING YOUR HEATING SYSTEM
Floor type
This setting will affect the upper and lower limits of programmable set
temperatures as well as the overheat limit.
If you set a user defined limit then you are advised to check the safe
temperature limits with the flooring manufacturer
Master/ relay
This feature allows you to use one thermostat to control another. This is
useful if you need to control multiple floor heating elements with one
program. In order to set-up this feature use the following steps:
-
Choose which thermostat will be the “master” and which will be the “relay”.
-
Use low voltage electric cable to connect terminal 3 on the “master” to terminal 3 on the “relay”.
-
Use low voltage electric cable to connect terminal 2 on the “master” to terminal 2 on the “relay”.
-
In advanced settings of each thermostat switch the “master” thermostat to master mode and the “relay” thermostat to relay mode.
On the “master” thermostat these connector cables are in addition to the floor sensor but on the “relay” thermostat the floor sensor is not necessary. tues 23 jul 11 -
Program desired schedule into the “master” thermostat. The “relay” thermostat will no longer use its sensors for thermal regulation. It will now turn on/ off in tandem with the “master” thermostat.
PROBES
External sensor
You are able to attach a second sensor to terminals 2 and 3.
You can then use external sensor function to define the use of that sensor:
- External sensor: This is to be used when you can locate the external sensor outside of the heated environment. When this setting is selected it will display the external temperature on the home screen and engage weather compensation. Weather compensation saves energy by delaying the start of heating period by 10 minutes if the difference between internal and external temperature is less than 41°F.
- 2nd floor sensor: This is to be used if the floor surface area is very large and delicate to overheating. The reading from this secondary floor sensor will be used to monitor the overheat limit.
Probe specification
If you have already installed a sensor which was not supplied by Warmup then
you can use this setting to allow your thermostat to function. The possible
options are NTC 10K (standard probe supplied by Warmup with the 3IE), NTC 12K
(probe supplied by Warmup with previous models of thermostat) and NTC 15K.
Note that all thermostats are different and Warmup can only validate the
thermostat’s performance when used with a Warmup probe supplied for use with
the 3IE.
Offset
In order to improve temperature reading accuracy this feature allows you to
bias each sensor’s temperature reading up or down by 41°F.
Reset
Reset will restore all software settings to the factory specified defaults.
If you are experiencing problems with your thermostat then you can perform a system reset by holding the button the rear of the front module for 10 seconds.
