CDT2 Room Thermostat with Delay Start
Instruction Manual

Prior to setting the thermostat, it is necessarily to complete all nrquired settings described in this section!
CAUTION! Before commencing any work on the electrical connections, you must first disconnect the thermostat from the mains. None of the 230V connections must be live until the installation has been completed and the housing is closed. Only qualified electricians or authorised service staff are permitted to open the thermostat. There are parts that may carry mains voltage behind the cover. The thermostat must not be left unsupervised when open. (Prevent non specialists and especially children from gaining access to it.)
Important: Keep this document

Mounting

The mounting height should be 1.5 meters above the floor level.
The thermostat should be wall mounted in the room where the heating is to be controlled.
The place of installation should be chosen so that the sensor can measure the room temperature as accurately as possible.
Choose the mounting location to prevent direct exposure to sunlight or other heating / cooling sources when mounted.
The unit can be fitted to:

  1. Recessed conduit boxes
  2. Surface mounting boxes
  3. Directly on walls.

Installation

Slacken the fastening screw on the bottom of the thermostat with a philips head screwdriver.
The thermostat is hinged and can be opened 180 degrees.
Mount the unit as described In section 3.
Wire the thermostat according to the wiring diagram.
Close the thermostat and tighten the fastening screw.

Wiring diagram

INTERNAL WIRING DIAGRAM CDT2
If mains voltage output is required, terminals L & 2 must be electrically linked.

Frost protection

5°C
Frost protection is built into this thermostat, it is pre fixed at 5°C and is not adjustable.
It will only be activated when the thermostat is in the stand by mode and the room temperature reaches 5°C.

An upper and lower temperature limit may be chosen.
Press and hold the and buttons for 10 seconds.
limit OFF-will appear on the screen.
Press the button to select limit OW mode.
Press the button to confirm you wish to adjust the high limit temperature.
Press the buttons to select the high limit temperature.
Press the button to select the low limit temperature mode.
Press them buttons to select the low limit temperature.
Press the button and the thermostat is ready for operation.
‘Limit’ will appear on the screen.
To deactivate High and Low temperature limitation.
Press and hold the and buttons for 10 seconds.
limit ON-will appear on the screen.
Press the button to deactivate this function.
limit OFF-will appear on the screen.
Press the button and the thermostat is ready for operation.

Adjusting the switching differential (Normal)

Press the button once. Diff set will appear on the screen.
The factory default switching differential of 0.4°C will appear on the screen.
Press the buttons to select the desired differential from 0.2 VC.
Press the button to return to normal operation.

Adjusting the setpoint temperature

Press the or buttons to adjust the temperature setpoint.

Changing the thermostat mode

P1 – Normal On/Off mode
P2- Delay Start mode (DS)
P3 – Time Proportional Integral Mode (TPI)
Press the Reset’ button at the side of the thermostat.
Pi will appear on the screen.
Use the or buttons to change between P. to P; and P.
Select P for normal operation. Select P: for delay start.
Select Ps for TPI – If P3 is selected you can press the button to choose the amount of cycles and then press the button to choose the proportional bandwidth.
Press the standby’ button to confirm.
See section 16 for more information on TR.

Normal control mode (On/Off)

When the temperature falls below the setpoint temperature, the flame symbol will appear and the thermostat will switch on.
When the temperature rises above the setpoint temperature, the flame symbol will disappear and the thermostat will switch off.

Delay start control mode

Delay start is an energy saving mode.
When the delay start function is active the flame symbol will continuously flash on the screen. When in this mode the activation of the thermostat is delayed by a variable time depending on the current temperature. setpoint temperature and also the fall in temperature from when the delay start has activated. See graph (15.11 Delay Start Control.
EPH CONTROLS CDT2 Room Thermostat with Delay Start - Graph
2The flame symbol will continue to flash until the thermostat activates. When activated the thermostat will allow the heating system time to reach the setpoint and delay start will remain inactive until it reaches this setpoint.
Delay start can be reactivated by:
Lowering the setpoint below the current temperature, pressing the standby button to set the temperature, then raising the setpoint above the zone temperature within 6-C of the setpoint.
The heating will be delayed as per the line on the graph.
If the difference between the actual temperature and the setpoint is 1°C the thermostat will delay starting for circa 40 minutes.
If the difference between the actual temperature and the setpoint is 3°C the thermostat will delay starting for circa 24 minutes.
If the difference is 6°C or more, the heating will be switched on immediately.
The time delay will change if the temperature drops from the original calculation.
To deactivate Delay Start, see section 13.

Time Proportional Integral Mode (TPI)

When the thermostat is in TPI mode and the temperature is rising in the zone and falls into the Proportional Bandwidth section, TPI will start to affect the thermostats operation. The thermostat will turn on and off as it gains heat so that it doesn’t overshoot the setpoint by too much. It will also turn on if the temperature is falling so it doesn’t undershoot the setpoint which will leave the user with a more comfortable level of heat.
There are 2 settings that will affect the thermostats operation:

  1. The Number of Heating Cycles Per Hour
  2. The Proportional Bandwidth

CyC – Number of Heating Cycles per Hour: 6 Cycles
This value will decide how often the thermostat will cycle the heating on and off when trying to achieve the setpoint temperature. You can select 2/3/6 or 12.
Pb-Proportional Bandwidth: 2° C
This value refers to the temperature below the setpoint at which the thermostat will start to operate in TPI Control. You can set this temperature from 1.S’C to 3.0’C in 0.1°C increments.

3Example – Program 1 on the thermostat is 21°C for 06:30am and the room temperature is 18°C. The thermostat will start the heating at 0630am and the heat will start to increase then but will switch itself off before it reaches temperature and allow the room temperature to increase naturally – this cycle may begin again if the thermostat isn’t reaching temperature.
