Welcome
To a new era in solid fuel heating. You have chosen to improve your household comfort and
increase the efficiency of your heating dollars.
The TS2BL is designed to be mounted to an interior wall, out of direct sunlight. Mounting
hardware is provided and two thermostat control cord receptacles are available to
accommodate different mounting situations. The thermostat should not be placed on a shelf or
couch or placed in a location where it will be insulated from the flow of air in the space you are
heating. In your thermostat’s packaging you will find an insert that has thermostat wall mounting
instructions and a drilling template.
This manual assumes you have already installed and connected the Control Module to your
stove’s motors. Please reference the Control Module manual for installation instructions, or
contact a local automatic coal stove installer.
Connect the TS2BL to your Control Module using the thermostat control cord. Automation
Correct can supply you cords of different lengths if the one included in your system purchase is
not long enough. You can also use standard ethernet patch cords to connect the thermostat to
the control module. Do not connect either the TS2BL or control module to an ethernet network.
It may result in damage to the Coal-trol or your ethernet equipment.
Power will be supplied to the TS2BL thermostat once the control module is plugged into an
electrical outlet and your thermostat is connected to your control module. Any switch integrated
in your CM-OEM or CM2 control module only controls power to the motor outputs, not to the
connected thermostat.

Locating and Mounting the Thermostat
Mount the TS2BL thermostat at eye level, preferably on an interior wall. For proper operation
the thermostat must either be in the same room as the stove, or must readily sense the diffuse
heat from a heat discharge and return air duct system. Avoid the direct breeze of warm
discharge air on the thermostat. To the side or rear, or across the room from a stove is good.
The TS2BL connects to the Control Module on the appliance with a RJ45 wire.
Choose either behind the wall wiring method or wall surface wiring method. Use the template
included with your thermostat to assist in mounting.
TS2BL: User Manual © 2022 Automation Correct, LLC 6

QuickStart
The TS2BL is compatible with the vast majority of forced air automatic coal stoker stoves on the
market and in use. It can be used straight out of the box with no setup needed for users of
Leisure Line and Hitzer brand stoker stoves. If you are using a Coal-trol Digital system on a
Keystoker, Alaska, Reading, Harman, or other brand automatic stoker stove you will need to
adjust your IDLE, MAX, and possibly your TRBN settings. The recommended settings for which
are detailed in the Recommended Settings by Stove Brand section below. Applying those
settings is detailed in the SETUP and ADVANCED menu sections below.
Button and Display Basic Description
Operation of the TS2BL thermostat is accomplished with two types of button presses. First is
the “tap” which is a short duration press and release of a button lasting no more than one
second. The second type of press is the “press and hold” where you press a button and hold it
down for an extended period of seconds, releasing only after reaching a desired screen or
result.
Upon power up from an extended loss of power, the thermostat will go through an initialization
that displays the version number of the software, the manufacturer the thermostat is sold by,
and then “PWR LOSS” with the LCD flashing. The Coal-trol Digital Control Module outputs will
all be off in this power outage recovery mode. This is a safety that waits for the user to
acknowledge the restart from complete loss of power before it will operate the stove’s feeder.
This will prevent the Coal-trol system from dumping a hopper of coal into the ash pan after a
power outage event that lasted long enough for the fire to have gone out.
TS2BL: User Manual © 2022 Automation Correct, LLC 7

Acknowledge the power up and get your stove running by tapping the MENU button. More
information on how the TS2BL handles power outages and the four different restart modes is
contained in the Power Outages section.
The thermostat comes pre-configured for Single Setpoint mode (SSP). In this mode there is
only one setpoint used for all times and days of the week. Adjusting that setpoint is as simple
as tapping the UP/ DOWN buttons (or pressing and holding them to make larger adjustments)
while the unit is in the round-robin screens. The thermostat will adjust the stove’s fire to reach
and maintain the set temperature. More details on the three available setpoint modes can be
found in the Setpoint Modes and TS2 & TS2ES Compatibility section.
For many people, that’s all there is to it!
If you wish to use multiple setpoints, as were available with the TS2 or TS2ES; if you need to
adjust settings for one of the above mentioned stove brands; if you have a dual stoker Coal-trol
Digital system or other customized configuration; or if you wish to learn more about the
capabilities and features of your new Coal-trol Digital TS2BL thermostat, please read on.
TS2BL: User Manual © 2022 Automation Correct, LLC 8

Recommended Settings by Stove Brand
The TS2BL comes pre-loaded with settings appropriate for most Leisure Line and Hitzer brand
automatic stoker stoves. If you have another brand stove please reference this table and adjust
the TS2BL’s settings to the recommended defaults for your stove. These, like the pre-loaded
settings, are our recommended starting points. Manufacturing differences, tolerances, and parts
changes can result in the user needing to adjust from these recommendations to achieve the
optimal range of operation for their stove.

Setpoint Modes and TS2 & TS2ES Compatibility
As mentioned in the QuickStart section above, the Coal-trol Digital TS2BL thermostat comes
with the Single Setpoint, or SSP, mode of operation pre-loaded from the factory. In this mode
there is only one setpoint and it is adjustable directly from the round-robin screens by using the
UP/DOWN buttons.
The TS2BL offers two additional modes of operation:
The TS2 mode provides the setpoint experience of the original TS2 thermostat by providing 2
programmable set points, one for daytime and one for nighttime. These two setpoints are used
on all days of the week. You get to control the time of the setpoint as well as the temperature
setting. While in this mode, on the round-robin screens, you can perform a temporary override
TS2BL: User Manual © 2022 Automation Correct, LLC 9

of the currently programmed setpoint by using the UP/DOWN buttons to adjust the temperature
setting. When the next programmed setpoint time comes, the programmed setpoint will take
over. In this mode, you will need to set the thermostat’s time setting in the SETUP menu.
Setpoint programming is also available in the SETUP menu, detailed in the SETUP menu
section below.
Lastly, there is the ES mode, which replicates the setpoint programming capability of the original
TS2ES thermostat. In this mode, you have 8 programmable setpoints, 4 for weekdays
(morning, day, evening, and night) and 4 more for weekends. Like with the TS2 mode, setpoint
programming is accomplished in the SETUP menu. You will have to set a time as well as the
day, also done in the SETUP menu. Temporary overrides of setpoint temperatures is
accomplished by using the UP/DOWN buttons from the round-robin screens. An override will
revert to the programmed setpoint temperature when the next programmed setpoint time is
reached.
If you wish to make a long-term override of programmed setpoints, such as for a vacation, it is
recommended you switch the thermostat back into Single Setpoint (SSP) mode and set the
temperature where you want it. Any programmed setpoints you have set up while in TS2 or ES
mode will be remembered and reinstated when you return the TS2BL back to the TS2 or ES
mode.
Power Outages
The TS2BL has a new feature that better handles power outage situations. In the event of a
power outage, one of four things will happen.
No Warning
Screen
Less than 5
minutes
If power is removed for less than 5 minutes the TS2BL will
restart and operate normally as if nothing has happened.
Time will be kept during the outage and the clock adjusted
accordingly if using TS2 or ES mode, but there will be no
change in the operation of the stove from before the power
outage.
“PRW IDLE”
5 to 8
minutes
If power is removed for between 5 and 8 minutes, the TS2BL
will restart into an idling mode and flash “PRW IDLE” on the
screen. This is to attempt to maintain a fire, but allow you
time to check on the fire condition before normal operation
resumes. Normal operation will not resume until you
acknowledge the warning by tapping the MENU button.
While in this power outage recovery mode the stove will
operate at the IDLE feed rate. Normal temperature control
will not happen until you acknowledge the warning. Time is
kept during the outage and will be adjusted automatically
when power is restored, if using TS2 or ES mode.
TS2BL: User Manual © 2022 Automation Correct, LLC 10

“PRW OUT”
8 or more
minutes
If power is removed for 8 or more minutes, but not long
enough for the thermostat’s backup power to be depleted, the
TS2BL will restart into a power out mode and flash “PRW
OUT” on the screen. In this mode the stoves motors will be
turned off and the control will wait for you to acknowledge the
warning screen by tapping the MENU button, when it will
resume normal operation. This mode assumes that the fire
has gone out after 8+ minutes and will prevent coal being
dumped into the ash bin. Time is kept during the outage and
will be adjusted automatically when power is restored, if using
TS2 or ES mode.
“PWR LOSS”
1 hour or
more
If power is removed for more than an hour the TS2BL’s
backup power will likely be depleted. When power is restored
the control will startup in the power loss mode and flash
“PWR LOSS” on the screen. Tap the MENU button to start
normal operation. This is the mode the thermostat will start
up in when you first power it up after installation. Time will
not be kept during this outage duration, so you will need to
manually adjust the time setting as needed if you are using
TS2 or ES mode.
Test Mode
When setting up your stove, after reconnecting it from the off-season, or when you’re
troubleshooting a problem it is often useful to run the TEST mode of the thermostat, to cycle
through the outputs of the control module. The TEST mode is located in the SETUP menu
under the TEST action item.
To enter the TEST mode:
● Press and hold the MENU button for 10 seconds, until the screen reads “SETUP”, then
release.
● Tap the MENU button until you see the word “TEST” on the display.
● To start the TEST mode cycle, tap the UP or DOWN button.
If you go past the TEST item, you can keep tapping MENU to loop through the SETUP menu,
until you get back to it.
While in the TEST mode cycle, the display will show what stage of the test is being run. These
stages will auto-advance in a continuous cycle, changing every 10 seconds.
TS2BL: User Manual © 2022 Automation Correct, LLC 11

The stages and what it’s doing are:
Stage
Description
“ALL OFF”
Turn off all outputs.
“STOKER”
Turn on only the stoker output.
“COMBSTN”
Turn on only the combustion blower output.

Menus
In this section you’ll learn all about the menus of the TS2BL. Here are some general principles
to help you navigate around.
1) Tapping any button while the backlight is off will turn the backlight on. This tap to turn on
the backlight will not modify any setting or influence the menus. The backlight will turn
off after 2 minutes of no button presses.
2) In almost all menu screens if you wait for 60 seconds the TS2BL will return to the
round-robin display. This is called round-robin auto-return. If you do not want to wait,
you can exit from most menu screens back to the round-robin by pressing and holding
MENU for about 3 seconds (you will see the current temperature screen show up on the
display). This is called jumping to the round-robin. The few menu screens where these
two behaviors do not work will be noted in the descriptions below.
3) Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust menu settings. Tap for minimum increments.
Press and hold to move faster through the available setting range.
4) Some items in the menus are sub-menus or action locations. To enter the sub-menu or
activate the action, tap the UP or DOWN button.
Round-Robin / Home
The round-robin screens auto-advance on a timed loop to show important information quickly, at
a glance.

adjust the setpoint. You will notice that the display
flashes rapidly to help indicate you are in temperature
adjustment mode.
In SSP this screen will read “SET” followed by the
setpoint setting. This setting will be maintained until you
change it again.
In TS2 or ES modes this adjustment is a temporary
override until the next programmed setpoint time is
reached. When the setpoint temperature does not match
the currently programmed setpoint, it will read “OVR”
followed by the temperature setting. If the setting
matches the currently programmed setpoint, it will show
the currently programmed setpoint name – “MOR”,
“DAY”, “EVE”, or “NIT” – followed by the temperature
setting.
Tap the MENU button to return to the round-robin, or wait
5 seconds.
Lastly, if the thermostat detects a temperature higher than 95℉, it will go into a “HITEMP” alarm
mode where the control will shut down all outputs and flash “HITEMP” on the screen. To exit
this alarm state you must wait until the room temperature has fallen below 95℉ and then tap the
MENU button to acknowledge the condition and allow the control to start operating normally
again.

you can press and hold the MENU button for 3 seconds to jump back out to the round-robin, or
you can simply leave the thermostat alone and in 60 seconds it will auto-return to the
