BackPlate & Wiring
This unit does not require an earth connection. The earth terminal is provided for safe retention of
circuit earth wires only.
1. Select a suitable location noting the advice in page 1 of this manual, a suitable mounting height is
1.5m above the floor
2. Isolate the AC mains supply, note this must be 230Vac and fused at 6 Amps.
3. Optimum cable size is 1.5mm2
Check the system wiring specification to confirm connections and cable core colour identification.
4. Cable must enter from the rear of the backplate.
5. Securely fix the backplate directly to the wall or fit to a recessed back box.
6. Terminate cables in accordance with the wiring diagram on the unit, ensuring conductors are
firmly gripped between the square brass washers.
7. This appliance is double insulated and must not be earthed. The earth terminal is provided for
safe retention of circuit earth wires only.
8. The backplate has 6 holes through which to fix to the surface of your choice. Please note that
when fitting the controller to the backplate, some pressure downwards is required to lock the
pins in the unit to the connectors in the backplate. Secure the controller to the backplate with the
captive screws at the bottom taking care not to over tighten.
9. Enable the memory back up.
10. Restore mains to system when all the associated items are fully installed and test for correct
operation.
NOTE: mains power is required to programme unit.
Please note: Always isolate the mains power prior to fitting the unit onto the backplate and when
the backplate is exposed.

Auto Automatic program control
Off Continuously off
• Fully Pumped and Controlled System (P). Central Heating and Hot Water can be operated
independently.
• Gravity-fed Hot Water System (G). Central Heating cannot be operated without Hot Water.

On On
Once On, Once
Auto On, Once, Auto

In a poorly controlled gravity circulation hot water system, whenever the boiler comes on to
service the heating, there will inevitably be some circulation though the hot water storage
tank, which will then heat up.
Therefore, whenever the HEATING is ON, the HOT WATER is also ON. It is therefore NOT
possible to have independent programmes for heating and hot water hence both CH and HW
are programmed together.
If you have this type of installation (gravity circulation hot water circuit WITHOUT a hot water
control valve), your installer must restrict the Programmer to being a Gravity-fed hot water
system (G).

Temporary Override:
Hr+ Program Override
• When the device is in either Auto, Once or Off mode, press Hr+ to activate the Hr+ program
override mode.
• “SET” will be displayed, and the mode indicator(s) are lit.
• For TPSE201, “c1” is displayed on the left side for central heating and/or “h1” is displayed on
the right side for hot water. For TPSE101, “1h” is displayed on the right side only.
For TPSE201 with P selected, for hot water, press Hr+ to activate the Hr+ program override.
For TPSE201 with P selected, for central heating, press Hr+ to activate the Hr+ program
override.
For TPSE201 with G selected, for central heating, press Hr+ to activate the Hr+ program
override.
For TPSE101, press Hr+ to activate the Hr+ program override.

13
• When Hr+ boost mode is activated, the On mode indicator will flash, together with the
current mode. e.g. If the current mode is auto mode, the On mode icon is flashing and Auto
mode icon remains on.
• For TPSE101, the display shows 0h, 1h, 2h, or 3h in boost mode. For TPSE201, the display
shows C1:h1
• Each press of Hr+ will increase the duration of the override by 1 hour. Maximum duration is
3 hours. Pressing until the number rolls back to “0” will disable the Hr+ program override.
When Gravity-fed Hot Water System is selected, if the HW duration is shorter than the CH
duration, the HW duration will be set to the same duration of CH automatically.
• Press Set or wait 10 seconds without any key press to begin the period of override and return
to the home screen. A channel with override activated is turned on immediately; a channel
with override not activated will keep current operational status. The mode indicator(s) will
flash at the “on” position to indicate the temporary override.
• After 10 seconds, the clock is displayed with the Mode indicator(s) flashing to indicate that
the override mode is activated.
• CH or HW with override activated will return to the previous operating mode at the end of
the set duration and the corresponding Mode Indicator will stop flashing.
• When the Hr+ Program Override mode is activated and the clock is displayed, press Hr+ to
review the current settings. “SET” is displayed, but there is no change of the internal count
down timer(s). If there is no further key press within 10 seconds, the clock will be displayed
again with the mode indicator(s) flashing.
• When reviewing the current settings, subsequent press of Hr+ will add 1 hour to the internal
count down timer(s). Press Set or wait 10 seconds without further key press to start counting
down and return to the home screen. Pressing Hr+ repeatedly until the duration becomes
“0” will stop the corresponding channel. When Gravity-fed Hot Water System is selected,
pressing of HW Hr+ will set the duration the same as CH.
• The channel(s) will enter advance override mode when activated as above. The channel(s)
return to their previous set mode when user disables the advance override.
• The channels will function as above whether the program jumper is set to G or P.

14
• When the channel is in Hr+ program mode, the channel cannot be changed to Advance
mode.
• In G mode (Gravity System), when you use the hot water Hr+ function, they will operate
as normal. However, the heating Hr+ function will also bring on the hot water. This is a
consequence of the type of system you have, and is normal.
The following is an example list of CH programmed operations.

presses Hr+ twice to begin 2 hours boost mode. Now, the program 2 will extend 2 hours.
i.e. turning off is delayed from 12:00 to 14:00.
2) In Once mode
The clock is at 11:00 and is executing program 1: On to Program 3-Off (06:00 turn on,
22:00 turn off). Now user presses Hr+ twice to begin 2 hours boost mode. Now, the “Once”
program will extend 2 hours. i.e. turning off is delayed from 22:00 to 24:00.
3) In Off mode
The clock is at 11:00. No channel is on. The user presses Hr+ twice to begin 2 hours boost
mode. Now, the channel is turned on and will remain on for 2 hours. i.e. the relay is turned
on at 11:00 immediately and then will turn off at 13:00.
Advance Override
• When the device is in either Auto or Once mode, press Adv to activate the Advance
Override mode.
• The next program will be activated with and ADV icon showed together with
Auto/Once icon.
• When the channel is in Advance mode, the channel cannot be changed to Hr+
override mode.
• In G mode (Gravity System), when you use the hot water ADV function, they will operate as
normal. However, the heating ADV will also bring on the hot water. This is a consequence of
the type of system you have, and is normal.

other indicators will be cleared.

17
• The TPSE101/TPSE201 will return to Normal mode after mains power is resumed.
Backup Battery
The thermostat is shipped from the factory with the battery installed. To stop it from
discharging during shipment and storage, the battery is disconnected by a jumper on the back
of thermostat. This jumper (Memory On) must be moved before the thermostat is mounted
on the wall.
The battery that retains the time and date during a power failure, without mains power,
should last up to one year. If the time and date need to be reset after a power failure, this is an
indication that the battery needs to be replaced.
To replace the battery, open the back of the Thermostat case using a screw driver. Remove the
screw marked by a red tab (see image) and carefully lift off the top circuit board.
Remove the old battery from its clip. Insert a new battery (type CR2032 or equivalent)
observing the correct polarity. Carefully re-position the top circuit board pressing gently back
in to place taking care to engage the pins from the lower circuit board into the socket. Re-fit
the rear casing.
