600W Smart Thermostatic Towel Rail Heating Element
SMART Thermostatic is an electronic thermostat for the automatic control of
electric towel radiators.
using internal sensor, it is capable of keeping the temperature of the towel
radiator to a desired value.
Ten different electric resistances are available ins range between 100W and
1000W.
Operative modes: Comfort, Stand-by/Antifreeze, Boost 2h, P1, P2. «-“Comfort”
mode: The thermostat keeps the towel radiators temperature at the level set by
the user.
«“Boost 2h” mode: the heating element is activated for a period of 2 hours
independently of the configured temperature. The temperature is automatically
controlled so as not to exceed 65°C.
At the end of the 2 hour period, the device returns to “Comfort” mode.
°“P1” and “P2” mode”: The control system enters “Boost” mode for 2 hours;
after that it returns into “Comfort” mode for 22 or 10 hours (configurable by
the user P1 or P2) and then it enters again into “Boost” mode for 2 hours,
repeating the same procedure endlessly.
Standby/Antifreeze” mode”: if the temperature drops below 10°C the device will
automatically active the control system in order the internal liquid freezing
SMART Thermostatic is a certified product:

WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Disconnect power supply before proceeding with installation.
Please read carefully before using the device.
- Must be installed by a qualified electrician.
- The present device has been designed for exclusive use on a towel radiator.
- The thermostat in combination with a heating element is designed for heating the liquid contained inside a towel radiator. Any other use is forbidden.
- Before using, carefully ensure that the line voltage is the same as that specified for the thermostat (see technical specifications).
- Only use heating elements compatible with the type of used towel radiator
- Disconnect power supply before cleaning or before performing maintenance of the product.
- In case of damage to the supply cable, turn off the device and do not touch. The damaged power supply cables can be replaced by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center. Failure to either adheres to the above rules could lead to compromised system safety and invalidate the warranty.
- Store the heating element exclusively in the protecting packaging.
- Replacement of the heating element can be done exclusively by the product manufacturer.
Installation Guide
Must be installed by a qualified electrician.
- Disconnect the device from power supply before proceeding with installation or maintenance.
- Protect the device with a 30mARCD circuit breaker and an isolating switch to disconnect from
-
Insert the heating element in the threaded opening located on the bottom part of the radiator.
-
Securely fasten the electric resistance to the body of the towel radiator with a 22mm wrench.
-
The special sheath ensures a secure mounting and eventually allows a slight supplemental torsion to perfectly align the thermostat with the radiator.
-
Tilt the radiator as in fig. 3, making sure that the opening on top of the radiator is located on the highest side. WARNING. Do not lean the radiator on the electronic control!
-
Fill the radiator with the specific liquid.
-
Put the radiator back in vertical position and check the internal level of the liquid (fig. 4).
-
Ensure a proper fastening of the heating element in the radiator.
-
Connect the device to mains and start heating (the top opening of the radiator must remain open!).
-
Set the maximal temperature and check the level of the internal liquid.
– Due to thermal expansion the liquid could brim over the radiator.
– Remove the exceeding liquid (be careful to avoid burns!) in order to keep the thermostat dry and avoid the liquid reaching the border. -
When the level of the liquid stops growing wait for additional 5 minutes then stop heating.
-
If necessary, top up the radiator before the liquid cools down (keep the temperature of the internal liquid checked all the time).
-
Close the top opening of the radiator with the appropriate cap.
-
Hook the radiator to the wall.
-
Connect the device to the mains.
Press the [On/Standby] button to turn on the device or to enter the “Standby / Antifreeze” mode.
NOTE:
The device will beep twice for 0.5 seconds when put into “Standby/Antifreeze”
mode.
The device will beep once for 1 second when turned on.
“Comfort” mode: In this mode the desired temperature of the radiator is
selected. The temperature value is set through the [+] and [-] buttons to one
of the following values: 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C.
The rightmost lit or blinking LED in the “Comfort bar” indicates the selected
temperature. A blinking LED indicates that the corresponding temperature has
not yet been reached during the heating phase. When a certain temperature
level is reached, the corresponding LED stops blinking and remains lit.
| | Turn on the device. Pressing 4 times the [+] button, the desired
temperature is set to a value of 55°C (the first 4 LEDs from the left start
blinking).
---|---|---
| | The radiator starts heating. When the temperature of the radiator reaches
40°C the first (blue) LED stops blinking and remains lit.
| | The temperature rises above 40°C
| | And so forth, to reach the led that indicates 55°C. When all the LEDs stop
blinking, the radiator has reached the desired temperature.
“P1″ mode: to activate this mode press the [Boost/program] button until the
led “P1” is lit.
In this mode the thermostat activates for 2 hours the “Boost” function; after
2 hours the thermostat returns to the “Comfort” mode for 22 hours. So long as
this mode is not deactivated, this sequence is repeated cyclically.
To deactivate the function press the [Boost/program] button until you are
returned the “Comfort” mode.
The “P1” blinks in the period the “Boost” mode is ON (2h).
The “P1” remains lit in the period the “Comfort” mode is ON (22h).
N.B. during the first cycle, the length of the “Comfort” mode is of 21 hours.
“P2” mode: to activate this mode press the [Boost/program] button until the
led “P2” is lit.
In this mode the thermostat activates for 2 hours the “Boost” function; after
2 hours the thermostat returns to the “Comfort” mode for 10 hours. So long as
this mode is not deactivated, this sequence is repeated cyclically.
To deactivate the function press the [Boost/program] button until you are
returned the “Comfort” mode.
The “P2” blinks in the period the “Boost” mode is ON (2h).
The “P2” remains lit in the period the “Comfort” mode is ON (10h).
N.B. during the first cycle, the length of the “Comfort” mode is of 9 hours.
N.B. The maximal temperature during the “Boost” period in “P1″ and “P2″ mode
is limited to 65°C
“Boost 2h” mode: to activate this mode press the [Boost/program] button until
the “2h” led is lit.
This mode activates the heating element to the maximal power for 2h (for
safety reasons the maximal temperature of the towel radiator is limited to
65°C).
To exit the “Boost” mode, press the [Boost/program] button until you return to
the “Comfort” mode.
The 2h led remains lit for the whole time that the function is active.

Key-lock function: press simultaneously the [+] and [-] buttons for 3 seconds
to activate the key-lock function, which prevents the inadvertent use of the
keypad, with the exception of the [On/Standby] button. To deactivate the
function, repeat the same procedure.
When the key lock function is activated, the device beeps twice. When key lock
is deactivated, the device beeps four times.
Additional indications provided by the “Comfort Bar”:
-The two central (yellow) LEDs blink when a button is pressed: Key lock is active.
-The external (blue and red) external LEDs blink: Failure on the temperature sensor, the heating element is deactivated. Contact customer support.
Notes.
In case of interruption of the power supply, the system will recover from the
previous operative mode’, with the exception of “Boost 2h”, “P2” and “P1”
modes.
*the status of the thermostat is saved after 5 seconds from the last modification.
Accessory: To allow a mixed usage of the SMART device, connect the T-piece to
