Application
This thermostat is designed to control an electric heating system such as a baseboard heater, a radiant ceiling, a convector or a fan-forced heater.
The thermostat CANNOT be used with:
- a resistive load under 0.83 A
- a resistive load over 14.6 A
- a system driven by a contactor or a relay (inductive load)
- a central heating
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.
This thermostat is a line voltage control (120–240 Volts). Do not install it if you are not completely familiar with house wiring. If handled improperly, there is risk of electric shock hazard, which may cause serious injury or death.
Do you need assistance? We are here to help.

Controls
Display
- To display the set temperature (setpoint), press the Up or Down button once. The thermostat will display the setpoint instead of the clock for 5 seconds.
Automatic mode
In Automatic mode, the thermostat adjusts its temperature setpoint according to the period of the day. To place the thermostat in this mode, press the Mode button until Auto appears on the screen. The current period name also appears (unless the thermostat has not been programmed with a schedule).
You can program up to 4 periods (Wake, Leave, Return or Sleep) in a day. You can set 2 different programs: one for the weekdays (Monday to Friday) and another one for the weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
The thermostat uses the following default schedule
| Monday to Friday| Saturday & Sunday
---|---|---
Period| Start Time| Temperature| Start Time|
Temperature
Wake| 6:00 am| 70°F (21.0°C)| 6:00 am| 70°F (21.0°C)
Leave| 8:00 am| 62°F (16.5°C)| –:–| – –
Return| 6:00 pm| 70°F (21.0°C)| –:–| – –
Sleep| 10:00 pm| 62°F (16.5°C)| 10:00 pm| 62°F (16.5°C)
Temporary Override
You can temporarily modify the setpoint temperature while the thermostat is in Automatic mode using the Up or Down button. The new setpoint will be used until the beginning of the next period. During the override, Auto flashes on the screen. You can cancel the override by pressing the button.
To modify the schedule:
- Press the Pgm Each time you press the Pgm button, the thermostat displays one of the periods of the schedule in the following order:
| Weekdays (MO TU WE TH FR) | Weekend (SA SU) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
- Press the Hour and Min buttons to set the start time of the displayed
NOTE: To cancel the period, press the Mode button. Instead of displaying the start time of the period, the thermostat will display –:–. During operation, the thermostat will skip over that period.
- Press the Up or Down button to set the temperature.
- To set another period, press the Pgm button and repeat steps 2 and
- Press the button to return to normal
Manual (Man) mode
To place the thermostat in Manual mode, press the Mode button until Man appears on the screen. In this mode, any modification to the temperature setpoint must be done manually. To set the temperature, press the Up or Down button. The default setting is 70°F (21.0°C).
Away mode
To place the thermostat in Away mode, press the Mode button until Away appears on the screen. This mode is a quick way to lower the temperature to a predetermined setting before you go away for an extended length of time. The temperature is 59 °F (15.0 °C) by default and can be modified using the setup menu (see page 7).
Standby mode
To disable heating, press the Mode button until Standby appears on the screen. In this mode, the setpoint temperature cannot be displayed or modified. For frost protection, heating will turn on only to prevent the room temperature from dropping below 41 °F (5 °C).
Advanced settings

Fan
Place at Yes if you have a fan-forced heater (to prevent premature burnout of the motor). Leave at No for better temperature regulation if you do not have a fan-forced heater.
Away temperature
Set the temperature you wish to use when the thermostat is in Away mode (see page 6).
Daylight Saving Time
When the Daylight Saving Time function is enabled (On), the thermostat au- tomatically switches to Daylight Saving Time on the second Sunday of March and to normal time on the first Sunday of November.
Year, Month, Day
These parameters are available only if the Daylight Saving Time function is enabled (On).
Early Start
Early Start is used in Automatic mode only. When Early Start is enabled (On), the thermostat determines when to start heating so the desired temperature is attained at the beginning of Wake and Return periods. When Early Start is disabled (Off), heating starts only at the beginning of Wake and Return peri- ods; thus there is a delay before you reach the desired temperature.
Keypad lock
The settings are locked. The temperature adjustment buttons only allow you to view the temperature setpoint.
Troubleshooting
Your thermostat requires little or no attention. Most problems can generally be traced to the following:
| Problem | Solution(s) |
|---|---|
| Thermostat is hot. | This condition is normal. Ensure that the heater capacity |
does not exceed the thermostat’s maximum load.
Wrong temperature is displayed.| Correct it if any of the following situations
exists:
• The thermostat is exposed to an air draft.
• The thermostat is located near or above a heat source such as a light dimmer
Wrong time is displayed.| The thermostat was without power for more than 5
hours.
Temperature does not change according to the programmed schedule.| Check that
the thermostat is in Automatic mode.
Check the schedule and clock settings. If the thermostat is configured in 12-hour format, ensure that PM appears on the screen when afternoon times are displayed.
LP appears on the screen or the screen is blank despite there is no power outage.| The thermal circuit breaker in the heater is opened.
This can happen if the heater is obstructed by furniture or curtain and has overheated, or if the thermal circuit breaker is defective or too sensitive.
The settings cannot be changed.| The settings are locked (see page 7).
LO is displayed| The measured temperature is below the display range. Heating
is activated.
---|---
HI is displayed| The measured temperature is above the display range.
E1, E2 is displayed| The thermostat performance is reduced due to a sensor
error. Please contact technical support for more information.
Resetting the thermostat (default settings)
NOTE: All parameters, except the clock (time and day), return to their default settings when the thermostat is reset.
- Press the Mode button until Standby appears on the
- Press the button for 6
- The thermostat will display rSt (reset) for 2 seconds to indicate it is reset and will then return to normal
Power outage
During a power outage, LP (low power) appears for the first minute. Then the screen becomes blank. The settings are stored in memory. After the initial installation, product must be connected to power for a minimum of two hours to enable the power outage feature. However, if the power failure exceeds 4 hours, the thermostat’s clock must be readjusted and, if you are using the automatic Daylight Saving Time changeover function, it must be re-enabled. When power returns, the thermostat will return to the mode of operation active prior to the power failure.
