The ecoheat TCT thermostat is designed to control
Infrared heating systems, but can also be used for any
other electrical heater. Unlike standard home thermostats,
ecoheat TCT has two or more separate and wirelessly
connected units (thermostat + receiver(s)) and the mobile
application ecofort ThermoControl that allows monitoring
and controlling of the heating system.
The receiver is a switching device used to connect
heating systems, and a thermostat is a portable control
unit for handling and setting the temperature. The units
communicate with each other using a radio signal. The
receiver also communicates with the mobile app using
WiFi. The advantage of the system is the variability and
easier availability of temperature control.
Important notes
• Read the user manual not only for the thermostat, but
also the heating system.
• Turn off the power supply before installing the thermostat.
• We recommend installation by a qualified technician.
• Be aware of the required standards for installation.
• The electrical circuit should be secured with a fuse that
does not exceed 20 A.

Safety
Risks due to poor handling
Due to poor handling of the product you can harm yourself
and cause material damage.
• Read the accompanying instructions carefully, especially
the chapter on safety and important notes.
Danger of malfunctioning
• Ensure that the air in the room can circulate freely around
the thermostat and that the thermostat is not covered by
furniture, curtains and other objects.
• Only operate the heating system if it is in technically
perfect condition.
Behaviour in case of loss of wireless communication
Low voltage in the batteries that power the thermostat
may result in interruption of wireless communication. In
the event of a loss of wireless communication between the
receiver (heating system switching unit) and the thermostat
(room control unit):
• On the receiver: orange light is off.
• On thermostat’s display: time and current temperature
are shown. The symbol “--” is shown instead of the set
temperature.
If the battery icon is shown on the thermostat that means
that the batteries have reached the voltage limit for which

6
the device can operate without any problem. In this case it
is highly advised to replace the current batteries with new
ones. The thermostat can still function with these batteries,
but it is much more error-prone.
NOTE: In case when communication is lost,
the receiver immediately switches off the heating.
After that, the heating can be turned on via the
mobile app by applying a set temperature higher
than 5.0 °C.
When the power supply comes back after the power
outage the receiver remains in its last state. If after
12 minutes the communication with the thermostat
is not established, it will turn off the heating. In this
case the heating can be turned on and controlled
only via mobile app by setting the set temperature
higher than 5.0 °C.
Freezing damage due to too low room temperature
If the room temperature is set too low in some rooms, the
heating system can be damaged due to freezing.
• Ensure that during the frost period the heating
system remains in operation and that all rooms during
your absence are sufficiently heated.
• The frost protection only activates when the thermostat
is turned off. Default frost protection temperature is 5 °C
and can be changed in the range from 0 to 17 °C. Frost
protection can be enabled or disabled via mobile app.
