1 Introduction
ECtemp 535 is a electronic timer temperature controller
specially designed for floor heating systems.
Once set, the thermostat automatically adjusts the heating
to meet your comfort levels regardless of changing weath-
er conditions by measuring the floor temperature and com-
bining it with the room temperature.
Even the programming of economy temperatures (i.e. low-
ering of temperature during the night and when you are
out of the house) is very simple. Just choose the pro-
gramme that fits your daily rhythm best.
Furthermore, the thermostat features a minimum floor
temperature setting, eg. for keeping your tile floors warm
in summer as well.

1.1 Safety Instructions
Please observe the following guidelines:
▪Do not cover the thermostat, e.g. by hanging towels or
similar items in front of it! This will impair the ability of
the thermostat to sense and adjust the room tempera-
ture correctly.
▪Do not spill liquids of any kind into the thermostat.
▪Do not open, disassemble, or tamper with the thermo-
stat in any way.
▪If the thermostat is installed in a place frequented by
small children, use the safety lock.
▪Do not interrupt the power supply to the thermostat.
▪The installation of the thermostat must be done by an
authorized and qualified installer according to local
regulations.
The thermostat has a safety
switch. When turned off, all
electrical supply to the ther-
mostat is disconnected.

lower temperature (also called economy temperature) and
periods with comfort temperature.
Using the Timer Function
In order to automatically switch between comfort tempera-
ture and economy temperature (e.g. when going to bed or
to work), the timer function is used. A status bar in the bot-
tom of the display gives an overview of timer status.
