What is a Programmable Room Thermostat?

A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat.
A programmer allows you to set “On” and “Off” periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached.
So a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it should reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different temperatures in your home at different times of the day (and days of the week) to meet your particular needs and preferences.
Setting a room thermostat to a higher temperature will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating system.
Similarly reducing the temperature setting does not affect how quickly the room cools down. Setting a programmable room thermostat to a lower temperature will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.
The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with at the different times you have chosen, and then leave it alone to do its job.

Battery Series

The best way to do this is to set the room thermostat to a low temperature ­ say 18°C , and then turn it up by 1°C each day until you are comfortable with the temperature. You won’t have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustment above this setting will waste energy and cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one programmable room thermostat to control the whole house. But you can have different temperatures in individual rooms by installing thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on individual radiators.
If you don’t have TRVs, you should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher setting to make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs. The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in Spring and Autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.
You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating program, for example, “Override”, “Advance” or “Boost”. These features are explained in the instructions if they apply to your specific model.
Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may also prevent the thermostat from working properly.

Installation Procedure
Do Mount the thermostat at eye level. Read the instructions fully so you get the best from our product.
Don’t Do not install near to a direct heat source as this will affect functionality. Do not push hard on the LCD screen as this may cause irreparable damage.
This battery thermostat is designed to be surface mounted. Step 1 Carefully separate the front half of the thermostat from the back plate by placing a small flat head terminal driver into the slots on the bottom face of the thermostat. Step 2 Mark 2 hole positions on the wall using the back plate as a positioning template. Drill the marked positions and insert a wall plug into each hole. Terminate the thermostat as shown in the diagrams on pages 30-31 of this booklet. Step 3 Screw the thermostat back plate securely on the wall and fit the terminal cover. Step 4 Clip the front of the thermostat back onto the thermostat back plate.

Optional Features Explained
THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS ARE OPTIONAL AND IN MOST CASES NEED NOT BE ADJUSTED
Feature 01 – Temperature Format: This function allows you to select between °C and °F.
Feature 02 ­ Switching Differential: This function allows you to increase the switching differential of the thermostat. The default is 1°C which means that with a set temperature of 20°C, the thermostat will switch the heating on at 19°C and off at 20°C. With a 2°C differential, the heating will switch on at 18°C and off at 20°C.
Feature 03 ­ Frost Protect: You can set whether the thermostat will maintain the frost temperature when the thermostat display is turned off. As a default, this is enabled.
Feature 04 ­ Output Delay: To prevent rapid switching, and output delay can be entered. This can be set from 00 – 15 minutes. The default is 00 which means there is no delay.
Feature 05 ­ Temperature Up/Down Limit: This function allows you to limit the use of the up and down keys. This limit is also applicable when the thermostat is locked and so allows you to give others limited control over the heating system.
Feature 06 ­ Air Sensor Selection: On this thermostat, you can select which sensor should be used – built in sensor or remote air sensor.

Feature 07 ­ Optimum Start: Optimum start will delay the start up of the heating system to the latest possible moment to avoid unnecessary heating and ensure the building is warm at the programmed time. The thermostat uses the rate of change information to calculate how long the heating needs to raise the building temperature 1°C (with a rate of change of 20, the thermostat has calculated the heating needs 20 minutes to raise the building temperature 1°C) and starts the heating accordingly.
Feature 08 ­ Rate of Change: For information only.
Feature 09 ­ Program Mode: The following program modes are available; 5/2 Day Programming ­ 4 levels for the weekdays and 4 different levels for the weekend. 7 Day Programming ­ 4 levels for each day. 24 Hours ­ 4 levels over a 24-hour period.
Feature 10 ­ Thermostat Mode: Here you can set in which mode you would like the thermostat to operate. The options are, manual (non-programmable), programmable, or programmable with hot water time clock.
